 | Thor strikes onto DVD 13th of September |
The fourth official film from Marvel Entertainment, the Mighty Thor was a visually brilliant experience that is sure to impress at home. In particular, the Bifrost Bridge and the assault of Jotunheim should look especially nice ion Blu-ray.
There have been rumors of short films being tacked onto the Thor and Captain America DVD releases, but there is no mention in the press release. However, an early glimpse of the Avengers movie should sate the many Marvelites out there until the Summer of 2012.
