The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim review

from Movies Merica · host Van Ebert

J.R.R. Tolkien gave us the book “The Lord Of The Rings” 69 years ago and creators are still adapting that legendary work. Do they always respect his work and not mangle it to reflect their worldview? Definitely not. See “The Rings Of Power” TV series. This week we get a movie adaptation of a very brief side story to “The Lord Of The Rings” in anime form. That movie is “The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim.” This movie appears to have the full backing of Peter Jackson, who directed the exemplary “The Lord Of The Rings” triilogy and the not so exemplary “The Hobbit” trilogy. This new movie features the kingdom of Rohan and its king, Helm Hammerhand and his war against Wulf, who vows to kill Helm because Helm killed his father with one punch. What’s new, that was most definitely not in the “Appendices” book that Tolkien wrote, that this movie is based on his Hera Hammerhand, Helm’s daughter. She’s really the main character in that she’s portrayed as the main savior of Rohan. When the war becomes too intense, and Rohan is on the brink of extinction, the people of Rohan retreat to what they call the Hornburg. Thanks to the movie “The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers”, it prominently became known as Helm’s Deep, named after Helm Hammerhand. Helm is voiced by well-known character actor Brian Cox. Can Helm, Hera and the people of Rohan survive the war against Wulf? Is it worth finding out?
