The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim Review: Beautiful but Predictable
As a diehard gamer, I’ve been captivated by The Lord of the Rings movies for over two decades now – some of the greatest literary adaptations ever made! Now, it’s exciting to see Peter Jackson, the genius behind the original trilogy and Hobbit trilogy, back as an executive producer. This time, we journey back to Middle-earth in a stunningly animated production by Kenji Kamiyama, known for his work on anime shows like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and Star Wars: Visions’ short films. The new installment is titled The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. Unlike the original trilogy, this film takes place 183 years earlier, focusing on the story of Helm Hammerhand, a legendary king of Rohan, and his family as they bravely defend their kingdom against an invading army of Dunlendings.
