<div class="IPBDescription">The One We've all been waiting for</div> LOTR: Return of the King: Its here at last!!!
(Depending upon what time you read this, if below doesn't work <a href='http://progressive.stream.aol.com/aol/us/moviefone/movies/2003/lotr3_014381/lotr3_trlr_dl.mov' target='_blank'>try this</a> )and its stunning.
The <a href='http://www.lordoftherings.net' target='_blank'>official site</a> for the the last of the "Rings" trilogy has posted the final trailer for 'King' in three different sizes. Of all the 'Rings' trailers out there for all the movies, this is by far the best one - its that good from the visuals and pacing to the score and representation of what's onscreen (ie. they show a lot but nothing to spoil anything for those who haven't read the books). Amongst the new footage there's some bloody great stuff here which seemingly follows the book more closely than 'Towers' whilst the overall film looks darker and richer in colour, with a bigger emphasis on visual fantasy elements. There's lots of shots of the Battle of Pelannor Fields, our first glimpse of Shelob, some epic Minas Morgul & Minas Tirith fly-over shots, Sam screaming at the tragic 'incident' inside Mount Doom, Viggo getting Isildur's sword back, Eowyn going into battle and so on - mind-numbingly spectacular.


[EDIT] This is E-Th33ph. For the sake of everyone who only reads the first post, I found a much better quality, large trailer here: <a href='http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline/gl/newline/lordoftherings/ReturnOfTheKing/returnoftheking_nl480_dl.zip' target='_blank'>http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline...ng_nl480_dl.zip</a>
It's approx 27 mb as opposed to the uber-compressed 9mb linked above.

    Wow... that looks awesome. The part where the Nazgul are diving down over the white city (I forgot its name, shame on me) looks soooooo coooool. *Sigh* Why do they torture us with such a long wait? At least we will know it's well done like the first two. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I wonder if Shegoth's in it, because I know she wasn't in the second one.

    Shelob.

    And, yes, she is in. Gollum even talks about her at the very end of the second movie.

    Was anyone else annoyed by the change in reference?

    In the books, the 'Two Towers' generally refer to Minas Tirith & Minas Morgul, but in the films, it refers to the towers of Saruman & Sauron, and Minas Morgul is barely mentioned.

    Just my 2c.

    Here's a slightly better trailer link: <a href='http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline/gl/newline/lordoftherings/ReturnOfTheKing/returnoftheking_nl480_dl.zip' target='_blank'>http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline...ng_nl480_dl.zip</a>

    Large, 27 mb version.
    The one linked in the first post appeared to be 9 mb and rather shoddy quality.
