'Thor' Trailer: Shot-By-Shot

I think the new Thor trailer hit all the necessary marks. We see that it's a fish out of water story, a romance, there's humor, creepy bad guys, and, of course, some hammer-slammin' action. I loved the shot of Thor tossing Mjolnir at one of the ice giants and seeing his peacekeeper just hang there in mid-air before coming back to papa. Good stuff.

So let's break down some of the trailer's main shots:


How else did you expect Thor to travel to Earth?

Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) investigates a pretty severe weather disturbance, and unknowingly closes in on true love.

 Thor (Chris Hemsworth) wakes up on Midgard... a bit grumpy.

Hemsworth is ready for his Men's Health cover!

Darcy (Kat Dennings) brings humor to the trailer.

Thor (Hemsworth) shares a fireside chat with Jane (Portman).

What can I do with this hammer?

Got your nose!

The spectacular Asgard!

Anthony Hopkins embodies Odin.

Some ruffians from one of Asgard's nine realms.

Thor swears to preserve the peace.

Loki (Tom Hiddleston) looking drunk with power.

Loki (Hiddleston) with his bad-ass helmet!

Thor is not about to let anyone hurt his friends. Geek moment: check out the Warriors Three!

The test of a true hero. Thor is readying to face off against the Destroyer.

This guy does not look like a friend.

Let's face it. Based on this, Hemsworth was born to play Thor.
