The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is a soulless return to Middle-earth

Summary

Nutrition label

58% Informative

The War of the Rohirrim is an attempt at creating a mountain-sized fantasy epic out of a molehill of footnotes.

At times, the film comes close to being a beautiful presentation of Middle-earth , and you can feel it trying to bring something of a feminist energy to the Lord of the Rings canon.

The film wastes its potential to do anything truly novel with its central characters and instead uses them to tell a tale that's disappointingly rote and predictable.

While characters are artfully stylized, the settings they’re moving through tend to feel like uninspired approximations of reality.

This becomes especially apparent during action set pieces and whenever things are engulfed in flames that seem digitally crafted and animated at a distractingly different frame rate.
