War of the Rohirrim was quite clearly a rush job made to maintain movie rights, not tell a story. It helpfully shows that anime, while popular, is just as bad as Hollywood when it’s written by Western hacks.

Delayed because of Christmas. Audio might be a little inconsistent as it was recorded on multiple mics in multiple places, also because of Christmas. Golly isn't Christmas such a Christmas. Also, Merry Christmas.
Yes but did they have the obligatory onsen fan service or panty-shot during badass fight scene? If you're going to hire anime artists and not let them be degens, then why the hell are you hiring anime artists?
Im going to be completely honest. I think it could have been way worse. I gave it a 6.5 out of 10 and that was largely in part due to the animation that faultered a few time throught the film. I vehemently despise Rings of power, but i didnt think this was nearly as bad. For the most part the lore was pretty close to accurate. They have to make changes to give Hera a story, but they didnt stray too far from Tolkien.
Merry Christmas Chord 🎄😄
I really enjoyed it, for what it was. Great film, took my two lads along and we all had a great time. Dunno what you all are crying about😂
Still upset they didn't make Beren and Lúthien into an anime. Like, the girlboss was right there, you guys. And the animal companion. But nnnnnooooooo, let's just shoehorn our own girlboss into a page-long story; that's much better! This is what you guys get for securing the rights to LotR and nothing else.
Love you little platoon. Best gay wishes.
They seem to think they are so clever. Like it's not obvious what they are trying to do versus those of us who have been alive long enough to see the evolution of their actions.
These people should sued for animation negligence
I consider that what this movie tries to "Fix" is that while in Helm's story both him and his sons get ample story beats and importance, his daughter, who's marriage is part of the inciting incident is nothing more than an object of the plot, a footnote on history. Now, I did enjoy the movie, but given what we were given I don't know if it was necessary that, if you needed to use Hera as a POV for whatever reason, for her to be written the way that she was. I feel she was a serviceable protagonist but she has the same issue that Rey had in that while there's in theory cool things about her she's not that interesting or memorable.
There's a scene that I come back to in which the lords of rohan are talking of the siege with grim realism of the logistics of their survival, Hera gives them a scold and a peptalk and they comment "Pretty words, but we can't eat pretty words". THAT should be Hera's arc, what should have been explored with her, what could have made her more interesting and endearing, it is her idealism and naivete crashing into the reality around her. There's a lot left on the table .
da war of da ho ho ho ho heee
This is not capitalism, this is woke girl boss insertion. Capitalism would be giving the customer what they want.
there really isn't much to defend it when comes to this film, besides the music, voice acting, and the fact the unnamed daughter wasn't a mary sue, though definitely a girl boss who always turned out to be right. The shield maiden seemed more of a mary sue than her…taking on Wulf after sneaking through an entire army, when Fealaf would have had an easier time slipping through, and giving orders when she shouldn't have, when there was clearly Lords that should have taken that role over her.
Rushing this project is made very clear in the writing, the music was good as well as the voice acting, but it just feels, like with Rings of Power, the writing was the first draft and not the last. Its not like that having the daughter as the POV was a bad idea, but it was Helm's story not hers.
The writing wasn't good enough to make up for the changes they made to the story like with the PJ films. They leave so many holes in their story, like Gondor not helping, why didn't the unnamed daughter have more guards with her when they were investigating the border, then after being captured, was able to be taken all the way to Isenguard without the whole country being alerted. Why did Helm allow the dunlendings to make it all the way to Edoras being engaging them, why did Fealaf decided to not try to find out what was going on but instead made plans to run away to Gondor…they just made too many holes and just made all the guys looked stupid. At least with Helm, did still like his character, being a powerful king who put his family above even his crown if he thought it would save them, and why is it the unnamed daughter who needs to tell Helm how the dunlendings fight when she's not an experienced warrior, why nobody else helped to open the gate, there was 4 guys right there.
Everyone was a 2.0 version of a lord of the rings character, had noticed that with Eomer, literally everything that happened to Eomer in the films happened to Fealaf here…..just hadn't noticed the similarities with the other characters.
😡 I had such high hopes.
Honestly, if she was used as a view point character or all of her deeds were subtle it could have been a good idea.
This not a warrior princess movie must've bene prompted from the great praise given to the other not a warrior princess from Rings of power that we all love
The just grabbed a name that doesn't work but they pronounce it different so it's all good. I am so tired of warrior princesses. As someone who is larger than most everyone, I find it offensive. I could literally crush her with one hand. I like strong female characters. One of my favorite literary characters is Molly Millions. But Molly lives in the future and has been to Chiba. If the want a female warrior that works in fantasy, make her a cunning tactician that hones her skill because she cares for her people and cannot stomach death. Make her compassion a strength, as the men are willing to die for her and follow her orders because they know she would never risk they lives without reason. It also gives a flaw because sometimes in battle a daring attack gives an advantage by catching your opponent of guard. Let her learn that her compassion buys her loyalty but in a world where men take with violence it will not bring stability. That she needs to work together with the men who fight to protect her kingdom. But men and women each offering something different and working together is something modern storytellers have forgotten.
The amount of people who thinks this movie is good is worrying.
They must have fell asleep halfway through the movie. Or just bots.
I rather assumed that Helm's daughter died in the war, or at least before Fréaláf's coronation, or her sons would have become king.
Stealing the kill of Wulf from Fréaláf is the most galling part.
Not again, Eowyn story is not about her wishing to fight because she desire so for the sake of it.
Eowyn feels hopeless about the reality and hardship her family and people has to go through and inability to change it.
She seeks to be free of her percieved chains as women in dire times by EITHER a savior (Aragorn) or by DEATH (self deletion by combat).
And after the victory over sauron she bonds with faramir over shared grieve but also hope and EMBRACES her feminity by becoming his wife.
War Of The Rohirrim is basically a shitter version of Brave, which was already one of Pixar’s worst films
11:35 – This
Thanks for recommending Rebecca Gold.
So Hera is Rohan's version of Mordor's greatest unsung hero Waldreg?
In Helm's Deep Shit 🤣🤣🤣
Since you agree that Gits Sac is awesome, any chance you do a review of something good for a change ? 😀
Would love to hear your thoughts on Gits Sac and its philosophy 😉
At least she was hot.
It was made so the rights would not revert back to the Tolkien estate, The cost of the film is nothing to the cost it be to renegotiate them back if they list them.
Though this film did damage the reprertation of them to make well written Tolkien movies.
Wow a Netflix movie girl bossed a little too hard? What a surprise.
I'm certain I didn't just hear an obvious cash grab from a whole gang of capitalist enterprises being called socialism. No, I won't rewind…
the hobbit is good. not as good as the og trilogy but id still rather watch it than anything made in the last 10 years.
Hera today, Gondor tomorrow. Sparkling review. You even squeezed Trudeau into it. Bravo. At this point all we will ever get are parodies of LotR. On the other hand a movie about execs trying to hold onto an expiring IP, leaving it far too late and running about incompetently is a far better idea. “I don’t care if we have to film my daughter’s grade five pageant!”
"We knew her name had to start with H"
Ok well Fantasy Name Generator just pumped out Háwine, Héohild, Herelith, Hálith, which all sound more Tolkien and Rohirim than HeRRRaaaHHH.
Then did Her-o the whore lesbian bitch princess call upon her space destroyer to cut her enemies down with partical beams.
I’m suspicious they used AI to supplement the animation. Some stills look okay, but others have that distinct AI blurry/wonkiness.
