TTT Trailer
drac0n1us

Well, I just dled the TTT trailer from morpheus and boy does it look good but yet, being my usual extremely critical self, I will rip into what I have seen of those 3 and a half minutes. Hmmmm...where to begin.....I didn't see any ents....I say a lot of Arwen Schwarzenegger.... I say some evil looking armoured men who I think are meant to be the Rohirrim... The problem is they dont wear any green which we are told is the colour of Rohan.

I see a lot of Eowyn and indeed a bit of Galadriel..... for some odd reason..... I also see Aragorn being called "King of Gondor" and Saruman having some prior knowledge about Aragorn. I see no Hourns either and a lot of the Elves.... the only Elf who appears in TTT is Legolas and yet I see Elrond, Galadriel, Arwen and in one scene what looks to be a whole Elvish army behind Aragorn. Yet, they could have been some Elvish looking Rohirrim. The trailer makes me want to avoid the next installment. Theodon looks a lot less like a Rider and more like a man of Gondor, haughty and fell. Wormtounge looks like a real Wormtounge, luckily but yet I cannot shake off the feeling TTT will be radically different from the books to the extant the very foundations of LotR will change.

For example, an Elvish involvement at the Battle of Hornburg(Helm's Deep) will not fit into the fading race we see in the books. The Riders look fell and haughty and more like the sadened Dunedain of Gondor then the merry and robust Riders.
