Wasn't it perpetually dark, cloudy and gloomy all over the place, and especially near mordor?

I didn't realize that untill you mentioned the sunlight. I guess Peter Jackson aplied a couple tons of sun lotion on them.....

Funny that you say that. You are right. But I remember in RotK (book) that in the final battle at the gate there are Trolls, too. Not in bright light but at daytime. Strange. Or does my memory fail me?

There are different types of trolls. Only some of them are aversely affected by sunlight. Others are not.

In the battle of Gondor in RotK, storm clouds and uncounted numbers of bats and birds blocked the sunlight anyways.

Around Mordor, yes.

I started the now locked thread just to learn who is "CEO TROLL". Duff... Should name it correctly, not "who is troll"

Yeah, the Big Ram that was built in the foundries of Barad-Dum was manned by Mountain Trolls, but that happened after the Dawnless Day, when Sauron make his Darkness fall on Gondor.
Now in the movie I don't remember if it was dark over the Black Gate, but it was definitively during the day, so maybe Peter Jackson actualy made a mistake...

I'll have to check in the book if only the Cave Trolls are suppose to die under sunlight.

By the way, How many kinds of Troll are there?
I remember the Cave Trolls, Mountain Trolls, but I'm not sure about Wood Trolls.
There can't be a Troll for every geographic feature, right?

I think just 2. The kind that turn to stone in sunlight, and the kind that don't.
