[Link here.](http://insidemovies.moviefone.com/2010/07/29/comic-con-thor-trailer/) Doesn’t do much for me though I did enjoy the bit at the end w/ the Tony Stark reference. Otherwise looks pretty cheesy. I’m usually wrong about that sort of thing though. ---

Meh. The costume still looks stupid and the highlight seems to be the SHIELD guy from Iron Man. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Meh. The costume still looks stupid and the highlight seems to be the SHIELD guy from Iron Man. Well, to be fair, I’m not certain how they could make that costume look anything but stupid, unless they just went with black leather. This would, of course, make the fanboys froth. ---

This would, of course, make the fanboys froth. It goes back to a discussion in an earlier thread, some things look better on the comic page than on a movie screen (they are, after all, different mediums); Thor is probably one of those things. ---

Anthony Hopkins as Odin, in a picture directed by Kenneth Branagh? I’m surprised they didn’t go with the full Elizabethan English script. ---

Surprisingly, with all the comic book movies in the past decade, this is the first from an Oscar-nominated director. Still has a bit too much of a _Flash Gordon_ vibe to it, but I’ll probably catch it (even though, growing up on Marvel, I never really “got” Thor). ---

Wow. I was surprised by the amount of “meh” I felt. Looks like a decent TV pilot though and some of the Asgard supporting characters looked pretty cool. ---

Whoop, I stand corrected–and I even liked that version of the Hulk (a little), though he’s another hero I never really “got”. ---

They found the hammer at the end of the last movie, after all, so this seems to be just a continuation. That was my point. His presence was about the only good I got out of this trailer. Everything else looked dumb. Also, is that guy the luckiest son of a bitch or what? Five minutes in Iron Man leads to a hugely expanded role in Iron Man 2 and a starring role in Thor. ---

That guy ([Clark Gregg](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0163988/)) actually has had a pretty good career going even before _Iron Man_. Nothing at that high a level, and the Marvel franchise work he’s getting has to be huge, but his IMDB page is pretty impressive. I think he’s most known for his starring role in “The New Adventures of Old Christine.” Fun coincidence, before portraying Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D, he appeared in two episodes of “The Shield.” ---

I thought it looked pretty decent, considering how hard it would be to try an incorporate Thor into the Iron Man/Hulk/Avengers movie style. ---

Thor calls Odin an old man and a fool!! I liked Kriby’s Thor as a kid but I never did know why the hammer wound up being a stick in a cave on Earth. Evidently he doesn’t become Dr Don Blake in the movie. The actor who potrays Thor said the costumes were pretty impossible to move in. Hopkins commented one day that with those costumes acting wasn’t needed. I’ll see it because I liked the character, but it didn’t blow me away. ---

Ghetto edit: I’m going to agree with what others have said, it doesn’t say “You must watch this movie” like the Iron Man trailers did. I think the worst part was that it it music was epic, but the actual visuals and dialogue _weren’t_. Hopefully they’ll avoid this problem in the Avengers movie. Borrowing from _The Ultimates_ and having Thor smashing an alien fleet out of the sky, for instance. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thor-trailer-leaked-online/548458.md?page=2)
