Still it will be nice to see Ian McKellen as Gandalf again.
And yeah I find that song quite fitting with the mood.
I agree. I will definitely still watch it, and will probably like it/not mind it, but I think it is missing that touch that the LotR had: subtlety. LotR (at least the first two films...the third one lost that touch too I think) portrayed things in a subtle, and realistic (for the fantasy setting) way, trusting to the viewer to understand and appreciate it. Return of the King lost that almost completely, and it looks like this will too. If I could name one thing that made LotR so much different (and so, so much better) than other fantasy movies out there, it would be subtlety. (not that awesome visuals didn't help, but again, their subtlety was one of their strengths that made the visuals so appealing)
