Before I start this note, please let me explain that I am not moaning (as this is only my second post!)I've only managed to see the trailer on my laptop (26mb version), I went to see Ned Kelly (in England) and they didn't show the trailer! (stupid cinema)The trailer is great, but I don't know if anyone noticed that hardly (if any) of the dialouge has been taken from Tolkien? I'm not technically a purist, but let's hope we have SOME quotes from the books!I thought the 10 minute 'trailer' on the tt dvd was much better, as it showed the emotional side to the story, which, to be honest, is what ROTK is about. The fighting is to 'give frodo a chance'.Saying all this, I must admit to being brought to tears at Sam's "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!" at the end. THAT was the most stunning piece.PS Do you reckon Legolas is talking about the 'King' of the Dead at the start?
