I was very sceptical about the new Thor movie mainly because director Kenneth Branagh is a fine actor, but he's not so consistent behind the camera. His Shakespeare adaptations are often great, but his versions of Frankenstein and Sleuth were awful. Also, the concept (viking demigogue is exiled to earth and eventually becomes savour of mankind) could be campy in the wrong hands. But I must say - the sets and costumes look suitably opulent, Anthony Hopkins is generally great at the shouting patriarch roles and it seems to be made with conviction. Maybe Brannagh's background in classical drama makes him the ideal candidate for adapting a modern take on Norse mythology? I'm cautiously optimistic. Here's the link for you...
