After viewing the trailer several times, I feel compelled to comment on my gut reaction to Theoden's battle cry: "Ride now! Ride for ruin...and the world ending!"

I don't know if any of you have already discussed this, as the posts just moved way too fast for me today to keep up.

But I wanted to say that his cry not only gave me chills and goosebumps...but it durned near brought a tear to my eye.

I tried explaining it to my wife why it was such a moving phrase, and why it carries such weight...but I don't think she quite got it...lol

That simple phrase contained such futility...such hopelessness...such an impassioned sense of "doing what needs to be done, despite the outcome"...just...wow. I was overwhelmed.

I'm not one who's quick to emotion...but I'm thinking I'm going to need a Kleenex Pocket Pack for the theater come late December.

Or, maybe I'm just reading way too much into things....
