The Worst Movie of 2024 - War of the Rohirrim - Or OMG I freaking Called it!

4:15 Yes... I can't stand that some American creators are making every fantasy show or movie political, which is exactly what Tolkien fought against. I like girl boss too, but it would be a huge mistake to think that only a girl boss deserves a standalone movie.

6:21 to be honest, I don't think there can be an actual LEAD character in a really good Middle-earth movie. A good Middle-earth movie should not be a personal showcase for just one hero. This is what sets Tolkien's works apart from other franchises: everyone is just a name in the history book, though the spirit could be passed on, only Arda itself is the one and only superstar whose legacy remains.

OMG! Thank you so much for making this video for me!!! And I really appreciate that you actually went to watch this movie. Now I am truly sorry that you had to sit through this 2-hour movie 😂 Maybe my judgment was off because I had kept my expectations low. Honestly, The Rings of Power freaks me out. I watched the first, second, and third episodes of it because my last job required us to be familiar with every popular fantasy/sci-fi show, and I hated it so much that I would have quarrels with people whenever it was mentioned. So I was like... 'War of the Rohirrim is going to be bad, but not as bad as The Rings of Power.'

My biggest complaint about this movie is that the narrator Éowyn and the female protagonist have no meaningful interactions. How did Éowyn come to realize that she could become a shield-maiden? Did the story of Helm's daughter somehow inspire her? Éowyn narrates that there is no record of her in history, so how does she know about her? And why is it so important for Éowyn to tell this story? Is it because only through storytelling can the spirit of the Rohirrim shield-maidens be passed down? No, the movie didn't elaborate on any of these. It left me deeply disappointed!

Hayao Miyazaki's movies are fantastic; War of the Rohirrim simply doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.😂😂😂

It's really hard to pick a worst movie in 2024. Nearly all of them were so bad.

I have to give the crown for Worst Film to The Crow remake. But this one is close.

4:53 Can't agree more!! What's the point of making this an anime? The artistic choice is meaningless; it conveys nothing.
