ROTK traaaaaaaaaailer!!!
Go to TheOneRing.net now to pick up your copy! Not the official release yet, so it's not perfect quality... on the other hand, I'm still downloading mine (really slowly) so I haven't seen it yet... but I'll post thoughts when I do!

Initial thoughts:
Well, first of all, I really do have to see a much bigger version of this. There's so much going on, and it just isn't right to see it in so small a frame. - This trailer definitely features Merry and Pippin more than any that we saw for the first two films. Hopefully this carries over to the film. We do see a shot of Gandalf riding away with Pippin, as well as Merry and Pippin parting just before. - We see nothing of the confrontation at Isengard... yet. - The look of the Mordor orcs is appropriately much grimier than the Uruk-hai. Very Mordor-ish. - As I suspected, the inclusion of Osgiliath in TTT was indeed a way to lead into Faramir's flight back to Minas Tirith (as opposed to having it be a "background event" as in the book). - More Eowyn is a good thing. - Minas Tirith looks great. In one shot, they all ride out of Minas Tirith with Aragorn in the lead with the White Tree on his armour - this looks very much like it is after the defence of Gondor, and on the way to the Morannon. - Eomer leads the Rohirrhim in the charge! Woohoo! - The catapult siege looks beautiful. I can't make out if the projectiles they are using are actually human heads (not that they'd show this in a trailer, of course) as is the case in the book, though. - Shelob's lair looks really creepy. Already makes the Aragog scene in The Chamber of Secrets look like child's play (and that was a good scene). - Aragorn waving a torch and Legolas in the background, in what seems like the Paths of the Dead... - Gandalf appears to be facing a mounted Nazgul on the walls of Minas Tirith rather than at the gates... I hope they don't shaft the gates, though - that's one of the great climaxes of the events in Book V.

wow! wow! wooooow!!!
I really love the trailer. Great. Does PJ direct the trailers himself? I doubt it. All the trilogy trailers have been far better than the movies... a pity Sween: not here, please. TOR.N have retired it, you know

Actually, he's directly involved in editing the trailers, and directing which effects shots are to be rushed in post-production in order to meet trailer release deadlines. And besides, all of those shots were directed by him (or his ADs) in the first place, no?

I got the 10MB trailer, and I downloaded the 22MB, but I wasn't able to unrar it. But the small version still looks good.

I just noticed something interesting after my umpteenth viewing of the trailer.
It begins with the ring in the palm of Frodo's hand....then I realised IT'S NOT FRODO'S HAND!!!!! |

Whoa!
As a matter of fact, the hand might be Smeagol or Deagol's! Think about it... look at the shot carefully... looks like we're getting a flashback on Gollum's past!

If anyone is looking for the trailer it is now being traded on Kazaa. There are many fakes, the real one is 30,390KB.
