I just saw Lord of the Rings the other day and the Episode II trailer preceeded the movie. All I can say is that the movie looked like a flaming pile of dog poo. WTF is up with the love story? Doesn't Lucas know that he can't create fascinating, deep characters and should just focus on the plot and action? I think Episode 1 proved that the guy is a poor director and writer, but it makes me sad that he has so horribly ruined one of the great cinema franchises ever. Oh well, at least I will save myself ten dollars by not seeing it.
