Thor: The Dark World
Teaser Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster (a.k.a. damsel in distress), Christopher Eccleston is the film's heavy Malekith the Accursed, Jaimie Alexander as the jealous Sif, Anthony Hopkins as the concerned Odin, Rene Russo as the sneering Frigga, one lined Kat Dennings, a brief blink of Ray Stevenson's Volstagg, and the mighty return of Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
Scene Pop: The final reveal.
Briggs Breakdown: 8 key lines, 2 Odin transports, 11 windows destroyed, a super-villain prison cell sure to be broken, a spaceship crash, a levitating truck (the hell?), a giant rock (the hell??), a laser battle in the forest, and medieval mayhem.
Effective?: In a way, yes. I know this is a teaser but it still feels a little too vague. I'm more interested in the in and outside fighting going on in Asgard than the boring giant black rock and smoke invading into our world. It's also clearly baiting the audience with its allusions to The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
Check it Out?: Definitely. It is the second challenging test of the Phase Two operation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it's sure to decimate the competition in the usually weak month of October. The stakes look to be high, beyond the "menacing" rock of course, and it seems to be hinting at the possible demise of Natalie Portman to reach its Shakespearean quota.
