This attention to detail and reproduction is the movie’s greatest strength — The War of the Rohirrim looks and feels like Jackson’s LotR in the best way. It’s packed full of sword-swinging adventure, kingly drama and riveting monster mayhem. Unfortunately, it also reproduces the aspect of the Jackson movies that has aged most poorly.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is a fascinating idea with a lackluster execution, more interesting as a concept than an actual retelling of one of Middle-earth’s famous legends.
The fourth best animated Lord of the Rings feature, which sounds pretty good until you remember there are only four of them.
As a reminder, we previously reported that actor Viggo Mortensen has already discussed returning to his role as Aragorn in the new The Lord of the Rings.
