Sony’s Concord FAIL!
Star Wars The Acolyte cancellation CHAOS! (2024). What can you do when you have Lord of the Rings, have a crossover with anime cinema and explore a new era in its universe? This new Lord of the Rings movie is still, in a way, an adventure movie: it' is exciting, colorful, tense and attractive. Sola Entertainment and Warner Bros. The animation offers a colorful, adventurous design and presentation with some well-constructed character designs and battle sequences.
The world created by JRR
Many of the sound designs and action sequences are bright and suspenseful, for LOTR’s standards of excitement, it still sells the way the world is. Tolkien is large and ambitious, there are many approaches and styles that can be explored to see different aspects of their world and setting. However, instead of creating a beautiful and classic story and world of what made Peter Jackson’s Access to The Lord of the Rings. War of the Rohirrim is the definition of a beautiful mess, a mess that still impresses and unimpresses me at the same time. It suffers from what modern anime cinema and Hollywood suffer from. Made with static colorful animation, ambitious concepts and great action sequences, but with clichéd poor character development and engagement, uneven writing and phoning in tiresome anime tropes that run dry.
With the concepts and the world, things could get pretty close
What made Jackson’s LOTR amazing is missing, because unlike Jackson’s approach, many of the characters aren’t interesting and you don’t connect with or remember them on an emotional level. It almost feels like it’s repeating some of the worst aspects of the Hobbit trilogy. It’s a shame because the beautiful character designs and backgrounds are breathtaking, despite the slight use of bad CGI. The voice acting is quite good, along with the musical score and exciting moments. But for a LOTR narrative, it doesn’t really feel like a LOTR story. You can call it anything else and I would believe it is something new and different from LOTR.
Yet it happened
But let me say this, no one asked for anime and LOTR to become a thing. I applaud the studio and the filmmakers for actually doing it.
