    As someone who has been a lifelong LOTR obsessor (both books and the trilogy - books more so in my early years), I got very little out of this. It feels like a very shielded attempt at grasping at whatever straws left by Tolkien, in this case literally a few pages worth of…

    In this dark age of assembly line sequels, remakes, and spin-offs, a feature-length anime film set within Middle-earth — specifically in the version of it that Peter Jackson immortalized with his “Lord of the Rings” trilogy — qualifies as an appreciably novel method for…

    Things with Wulf sure escalated fast. He was handsome and had a cool name. It could have gone either way really.

    Who would’ve thought that this famous story from the LOTR universe would be so beautifully told in anime form. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing this forever. King Helm voiced by Brian Cox is truly a force of nature! So much better than The Hobbit trilogy and The…

    I know if there’s ever a live-action version of this film that Anya Taylor Joy and her wig from The Menu are perfect for the role.

    I think it's a great movie, to give it a number, I'd say 8/10. I really like the art style of the anime and visuals, acting and sound design are great along with the musical score. It is too much on the girl boss type of movie, mostly because of a side character, but it…

As much as The War of the Rohirrim tries its best to live up to the lofty standards set by the original movies, it only really shines when it manages to forget that it's a franchise movie at all.

It's a strong, engaging story that showcases some striking animation, and if I am to return to the wider world of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth, this seems to me an ideal way to go about it.

There was no chance of The War of the Rohirrim recapturing the magic of the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy. But Hèra's defiance in the face of the despair her enemies want her to feel has something of the trilogy's inspirational quality.
