Top 12 Recent Movie Trailers

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Right off the bat you get the ominous tone of the movie with “The end has come.” Not to mention the Peter Jackson trademark move of intercutting a couple of scenes into short flashes, which is very disorienting. And who doesn’t love a great motivational speech in the throes of battle? The way this is edited, I actually like the way it sounds in this trailer even MORE than I do in the movie! And it all ends with the heart-wrenching yell from Sam, “No!”

Music: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Music from the Motion Picture) – Howard Shore (iTunes : Amazon)

  • Good stuff.
  • Well, these are all good, but you've missed a few amazing ones that at least made me go see their respective movies:

    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow:

    the robots, the retro 50s feel with an alternate reality storyline, this trailer got lots of people anxious, but sadly, none of them went to go see the movie. I did though, it was good, better then the critics gave it anyway.

    V for Vendetta:

    That trailer was phenomenal, it gave the basic plot, and promised twists, conspericies, and explosions. I loved the movie, and the trailer.

    Cloverfield:

    Probably the one trailer that got the most people to go see the movie. This is in my opinion, a perfect trailer. NYC is under attack from something, and that's all you know. I have yet to see a trailer that was as perfectly suited for a movie that succeded to well.

    I saw all three of the movies i listed, but I only saw 5 of the ones you listed, and mostly not because of the trailers.

    I am curious though, which movies didn't live up to the trailers in your mind?
  • Ooh, V for Vendetta... Good one! That was a great movie, and had a great trailer as well!

    Unfortunately, both Miss Potter and Elizabeth: The Golden Age didn't live up to the trailers for me. I was so EXCITED about Elizabeth, too, probably because I enjoyed the first one so much, that it probably could never live up to the version I had in mind. Still a good movie, but sometimes I like to watch the trailer and think of what might have been.
