Heavy Metal Thunder on the Horizon

Thor looks like fun. I admit to drastically lowered expectations going into this, but step by step that they've raised the bar a bit each time I've read about the pre-production process, and I've gone from a very reluctant 'let's get it over with,' to actually wanting to see this movie. I wasn't worried whether or not they'd ever get the character 'right,' just that they'd make the movie actually interesting and worth watching. Thor, the Marvel Comics Thor, is a character that has had a lot of false starts and been plagued by a lot of bad creative choices or just plain uninspired mishandling. This trailer seems suitably mythic and epic and heck, they've even tossed-in the Destroyer, so it will have at least one really good fight, one hopes...
