By Ymir's Icy Beard! New Thor Trailer Puts The Hammer Down

After awhile, there are only so many action movies about cops, spies or puddle-faced Shia LeBeouf one can take. A little variety is needed! So that's why I'm glad that Thor is here. Isn't it time we had a big, rollicking action movie starring a pantheon of Norse gods? After the break, take a look at the trailer for Marvel Studios' latest salvo for summer movie domination, Thor.

This, more or less, is the same teaser trailer that director Kenneth Branagh unveiled this year at ComicCon. Petulant royal scion Thor gets exiled to Earth by his father Zeus, while malevolent Loki schemes around the corner. We get quick glimpses of the Warriors Three, Baldur and Sif hanging around beautiful, bejeweled CGI Asgard, but spent most of our time on terra firma, watching Thor beat the crap out of some SHIELD agents and making goo-goo eyes at Natalie Portman's Dr. Jane Foster. And why yes, I do believe that's the Destroyer tearing up some poor New Mexico town.

While I didn't get the same chills watching it as I did seeing the Iron Man trailer for the first time, it still looks like it could be a fun time at the movies. C'mon, a big blond god smacks the crap out things with a magic hammer! What's not to love?

VERDICT: It's hammer time.

    This movie better have Thor recreating the hallway scene from Oldboy set to Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song.
    Otherwise, 2D it is.

    The Asgard scenes looks pretty awesome, but hopefully the Earth scenes won't be dull and pointless.

    Thor's father isn't Zeus, it's Odin. That said, the trailer looks great. Really looking forward to seeing this.
