The reason I am looking forward to Thor is that I don't know much about him. For most super hero movies I go in there knowing what to expect and who the character is and how they act etc. Thor on the other hand is a clean slate for me. Which is nice to go into a super hero movie not knowing what to expect in the least. I also find all sorts of mythology very interesting so the fact a lot of that plays into who Thor makes it all the better.
Natalie Portman is in the movie as well, she is so beautiful I'll watch anything with her in it. I didn't know she was going to be in it so that was a pleasant surprise when I watched the trailer for the first time. They got Chris Hemsworth to play the role of Thor which was a good choice. Many of you know him as Kirk's father in Star Trek, the movie that came out two years ago, he died at the very beginning of the movie. No spoiler alert for that since the movie came out a while ago and it happens withing the first 5 minutes of the movie. Hemsworth definitely looks like Thor which makes it an easy choice.
Another intriguing thing about this movie is how they are going to fit this into the whole Marvel universe they are creating. They want to make an Avengers movie so all these super hero movies are setting up for that. Thor is the most unique of the characters because he isn't human and from another place other than earth entirely. Not to say that Spiderman or the Incredible Hulk are believable characters, at least they are humans and lived in modern society. Thor will provide some challenges and that should make for an interesting movie.
Now from the trailer it seems like the movie is going to be really good. Anthony Hopkins is also in the movie which is nice to see well known actors in these types of movies. This wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. The danger of a trailer is you can get too excited for a movie that ultimately can't live up to the expectations. I sure hope that Thor exceeds the expectations I have for it.
