Looks great. Kind of annoyed they went with the Ultimate theme instead of the normal. Hoping Odin doesn't remain dead and stuff... but maybe that's what happens in the Ultimate line too...

A lot of studios forget that in order to make a good superhero movie, you must first make a good movie.
This looks good.

Read some of the replies some of them posted alternate links to view the trailer since it was pulled from the OP

just my two cents....
No DOOM today, DOOM tomorrow. There's always a DOOM tomorrow.

This looks really cool but I have one problem. I don't believe I have ever seen Thor kicking in a comic...(I may be wrong though). It just doesn't feel right.
To me, it's going to be a huge disapointment if Thor is just peak human. I agree I would love to see him throw a couple of tanks around. If we want to see a tall blond gorgeous guy kicking hordes of human soldiers, we have Captain America releasing that same year. We need more superstrength.
A bit more epic action wouldn't hurt either.
The destroyer, however, I have nothing to say. It looks AWESOME.

I never read any Thor stuff (comics in general) but that trailer has me interested
Looks good I say!
Edit: I will say the only thing that somewhat bothered me was the Mjolnir...just didn't look right...too plasticky or something...but...with effects I'm sure that can be changed

It's funny - when a movie shoots its wad with a trailer, they give away too much. When a movie does not do so, it's giving away too little.

The trailer gives me the impression that Donald Blake/Sigurd Jarlson is peak human, and that Thor will likely be MUCH more.
I wonder if they are going to keep Mjolnir having a secret identity as a walking stick that 'human' Thor does not need, or not even address that during this story?

I think so also, which is where my worrie comes in. They showed A LOT of the plot in this trailer, but Mythic? God like? Something really impressive? No. Again, I hope its in the movie somewhere squeezed between the scenes with the jeans t-shirt Thor and the CG Set.
I agree with you on this. My wife watched the trailer and she said, "Well, I don't have to see the movie now. I know whats basicly going to happen."

I think they basically just went backwards from what we're used to. As someone else noted, there weren't really any Thor-centric epic moments to hype us up. I think we're used to seeing a few of those in the first teaser just to get us excited about the film and then we're supposed to see more character- and plot-centric trailers later on with a few more epic moments sprinkled around.

In any case, if you have seen Frankenstein then you know that Branagh can do awesome superpowered stuff. I am soooo loooking forward to this movie
Always remember, we were Heroes.

IDK, it looked mythic and godlike to me, what with Asgard and all of the Norse gods. It didn't show any crowning moments of badass, but I really prefer trailers to not turn out like Day Watch.

Not the best trailer ever, but not bad at all.
- We have a sense of the plot; it's not just 'Thor + explosions', so people who like movies with an actual story have a reason to go.
- People who have no idea who Thor is are told basically what is up; it's the tale of the son of a god/alien that falls from grace and needs to redeem himself.
- A hint of romance.
- A bad@$$ warrior chick.
- The connection to the other Marvel movies is established for those who only watch the movies.
- Sir Anthony Freaking Hopkins and Natalie Swoon Portman? Money right there.
- We know Thor is going to lose his powers, so we know we are in some dramatic tension as to whether he will be killed before he regains them. And we know its' not a simple as picking up the hammer, but that wielding the hammer is involved.
- Hints of epic 300-esque battle in Asgard, and a super powered throwdown between Thor and the Destroyer.
- Token Black Dude and the Warriors Three.
What we don't know so far...
-- How will Thor prove himself worthy of Mjolnir? Probably by being willing to face the Destroyer without his powers?
-- Will they play out a Thor/Sif/Jane love triangle?
-- Who is inhabiting the Destroyer suit?
-- What Loki's plan is, and how Earth (other than assassinating Thor) is involved.
-- What the other gods come to Earth to do.
-- How Odin dies, and what will happen to Thor as a result? Will Loki retain control of Asgard, with Thor banished to Earth to do his heroing, or will Thor ascend the throne (meaning they will need to bring him back to Earth to get him into The Avengers) or will something else happen (perhaps Odin being resurrected)?

No one's actually inside The Destroyer, it just needs someone's life force transferred into it. It has it's own intelligence, so unless the person has a stronger will, Destroyer is going to carry out it's "programming"

I'm inclined to think random. Having it be someone of significance would then require extra time to explain how the thing works when all the general public really needs is "Odin made a badass golem. Loki's set it's switch to "kill thor" mode."
