New Thor Trailer Ramps Up the Mayhem and Monsters


Zombies, explosions, and even some humor all make an appearance in the second theatrical trailer for Thor.

Marvel has released a new trailer for the upcoming Thor movie, and where the first trailer just hinted at the kind of Norse-inspired, hammer-wielding action we could expect, the second has no problems with putting it front and center for all to see.

The first half of the trailer focuses on Thor's arrival on Earth, with the obligatory - but still amusing - sections where he acts strangely in public places. He also gets tazed, which for a thunder god is rather ironic. In the second half of the trailer, however, the action picks up, as Thor introduces some Asgardian zombies to the business end of his hammer, Mjolnir, and a number of things explode rather spectacularly. We also get another look at the Destroyer - the giant armored thing - who blasts Thor with his face laser/fire breath.

There's something about this trailer that makes it feel more engaging than the first. Perhaps it's because this trailer contains less exposition and set up, and more of the action and the characters - essentially being a better indication of what the movie is like, rather than what it's about. Thor opens in theaters on May 6th.

This movie makes me proud of my Germanic heritage, before the Romans and Christianity came along.

Also, may 6.
Wasn't the latest Harry potter due in May?

Makes me wonder, after I've now seen every single special effect in the movie thanks to this trailer, what's left worth watching it for?

Nothing.

You've got to love trailers that show off the best the film has to offer, and when you watch it you're left thinking you saw all the best bits in the trailer.

Okay, now I am looking forward to Thor. It now actually looks like it fits in with the other Marvel films (and Avengers, obviously).

Also, HAMMER TIME!
...I feel so dirty.

That actually looks pretty good. I like the guy they cast as Thor. Wait....he played George Kirk in the new Star Trek?

You are right, they should show the dialogs, the scenery, censor out all the special effects... Better yet, show the raw footage WITHOUT costumes, CGI and so on. This will invite the people and make them interested in the movie!!

It's better than the first trailer; that's for damn certain. However, I'm getting the feeling that this isn't going to be a particularly good movie. Entertaining, most likely, but not actually good, like Iron Man 1 and 2. At least, I thought those were good. And The Punisher, which virtually no one else seems to like.
