Lord of the rings was written as a stand in for the English history that was lost due to invasion, the land is literally meant to be like the English countryside, so the lore and fantasy should be western not eastern. They should have stayed faithful to Tolkien writing and world building.

Anime fans are the only people who could like the film, it looks like the average anime rather than what western audience expects in cinema. Look at the box office, traditional 2D anime style animation isnt attractive to movie goers in the west, it is viewed as for tv, not IMAX or any cinema.

I’m not sure if your statement is correct. Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane are for sure Western anime styled productions and - for the most part - superior to most eastern anime out there. I’m NOT saying western anime is better, but I wouldn’t disregard the efforts american/european houses make in terms of anime styled productions.

Grace sorry to be nitpicking but only animation made in Japan is called anime, like the agave made liquor is only called tequila if it's made in Mexico. All can have the same flavor/art inspired but cannot be named for what we known them for. Example the newest Chinese animation is very similar to anime and can be confused but purists will call in donghua or manwuas to what we know as mangas.

The fact that this and Transformers One will be the only 2 theatrical animated movies that will flop says a lot. Especially considering that both are movies in franchises that are heavily live action. The main lead in the story of War of the Rohirrim in actual Tolkien lore is a nameless character. The actual story focuses on her father Helm Hammerhand. But WB decided to pull a Rings of Power with the story.

We won't mention the nightmare fuel that was "Return of the King," although it did give us the pretty hilarious song (in an inadvertently BDSM sense) from the orcs, "Where there's a whip, there's a way." 😆In fact, I now think Grace should do reviews of the lot.

I liked it but I'm a big fan of the books and the appendices and anything that Tolkien ever wrote about the world and so I was stoked to be seeing any small slice of it in a visual medium. I will admit the animation was under par compared to what you would expect but I enjoyed it all the same and I'd say it was an improvement on the Hobbit films overall. It didn't have CG Dwarves rolling around impossibly in barrels so that was a major win for me. I'm a bit puzzled out of all the parts mentioned in the timeline of the Appendices this was the part of it they decided to turn into a movie but again I sort of feel like beggars can't be choosers at the moment.

Aragorn rode with the Rohirrim then went to Gondor to serve Denethor's father, the Steward Ecthelion under the name Thorongil. He persuaded the Steward to send a force to attack the Corsairs of Umbar. However, his success and influence upset Denethor II, who succeeded his father four years later. Meanwhile Thorongil disappeared, likely exploring enemy lands south or west. This is a good story from the Appendices.

What people seem to ignore is that the director is almost exclusively known for anime shows with female leads, like Ghost in the Shell, Moribito, and Napping Princess. The main character in Moribito is one of my favorite female anime leads, and the Major from GitS is quite well known. I would have been surprised if the main character had NOT been female with this director at the helm. And that's not a bad thing - the franchise would be quite stale if there were some kind of rule what the protagonist can and cannot be. This should have been a slam dunk, but unfortunately it's pretty obvious no-one involved with this understood what people liked about the original trilogy. The gender had nothing to do with it. A bad movie is just a bad movie.

They should have used western animation for a story as grounded in western culture as The Lord of the Rings, and Helm Hammerhand should have been the main character -- not Hera -- according to what can be inferred from the scant source material. Hera becoming a warrior in defiance of social norms also undermines Eowyn's later achievements in the main trilogy. They made bad choices from the start. Nice job calling them out, Grace.

No, it's just poor writing. There are plenty of Japanese animation studios that have told grounded stories, even ones set in a Western setting.

There are reports that this movie was rushed to and through production in order to make a deadline. We're lucky it was even passable. They made this movie for one reason. To prevent the theatrical rights reverting to the original copyright owners. It could be worse. It could be that classic Fantastic Four insanity of a movie back in the day.

Could have done the Angmar wars... Betrayal, corruption, evil, supernatural, men, elves, trolls, orcs, witchkings, and the collapse of an entire nation, through division. Instead... Men fighting men, over something that doesn't actually matter. Clearly they thought "the Rohan charge in RoTK was epic, let's do a film about them!"

Oh my GAAAAAD, if only I had seen your review yesterday evening ! Went to see it with a friend and I agree with you on all counts! It was sooooo bad! The whole thing starts with: "you've never heard her name" as if that was a plot point but nope, by the end of it, her songs as a war hero are sang, so how come we're supposed to never have heard her name???? No oroginality whatsoever, it felt like watching bits and pieces of LOTR the 2 towers that had been edited in a total cliché way... ugh... It's a TOTAL waste of time and money. Run away from it as far as you can!

I saw it in the cinema, and it's not that bad... just mediocre. I recommend to stream it even if you are just a LOTR casual fan. Upsides: LOTR music, characters and story are not so bad, many small nods to LOTR. Downsides: mediocre animation, too long runtime (1 hour and a half world have been more than enough), silly plotholes and somewhat conventional characters and predictable story.

I was kinda interested when I happened to see the trailer in theaters, even though the plot looked like every YA fantasy novel I’ve ever read. But when I tell you I was APPALLED when they said the title, the mere thought did not even cross my mind that this was a LOTR movie, nothing in the trailer showcased it. And now I’m kinda sad that there’s no romance cause that was what I was looking forward to tbh. I guess I’ll be skipping this one

I'll probably check this out once I can rent from home, mostly because I just like completing things. I don't think adult-targeted animation will ever find a large, mainstream audience, though. (At least outside of South Park)

It is made in Japan by a Japanese director who makes Japanese anime. Why hire him to copy a French studio? At that point, just hire the French studio.

Grace which is better by the way? This or Zack Snyder's Twilight of the Gods? For me personally Zack's Twilight of the Gods is much better. Yes the story is not that strong but it's decent but Zack really knows how to do Anime battle sequence to the point that you can compare it to other actual Shonen Anime battles.

I’ve been waiting for this all day!! Thank you so much, Grace!!❤️ With the way they were pushing promos for this movie, I had the suspicion and fear in my heart that it’ll not be that good. And for some reason the characters, even in the best shots of the trailer, looked AI generated and cheaply animated.

The War of the Rohirrim tells the story of Helm Hammerhand, a king of Rohan. But they instead wanted to tell the story of a random girl who didn't want to marry.
