Watch: The first official trailer for Kenneth Branagh's "Thor"

While footage from the film leaked over the summer, this is the first official look we're getting at Kenneth Branagh's upcoming Thor film. And what do we learn? A few things: 1. Leading man Chris Hemsworth is impossibly muscled, 2. Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, looks kinda puny, 3. Natalie Portman was so good in Black Swan that when she showed up here, I got confused.

It also confirms what I thought, that the movie's first poster — which looked like a Viking version of Sin City — was probably not indicative of the film's actual style and tone. And while I understand the motivation behind really showing everyone that Thor is a serious movie, in the end you're still talking about a jacked dude in a cape hitting things with a sledgehammer. Embrace the cheese.

Reminds me of the joke: The Norse god of thunder hires a whore and screws her with all his godly might. Afterwords he announces "I am Thor!" and the prostitute says "Then you thould have uthed more Athroglide!"

I think it looks pretty excellent, cheesy or not. I shall indeed embrace it.

Also, I admit I don't get Moops' joke.
