Fantastic films have always faced an ascending battle at the box office, with the exception of the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson, which remains the most successful traditional series in the history of cinema. However, like this other successful fantastic franchise, Harry Potter (who with his 90s framework is not the same kind of swords and witchcraft as the masterpiece of Tolkien), once the books were adapted, it lacked gas. Lord of the Rings: The Rohirrim War was the return of the franchise in theaters, and although it is a catastrophe at the box office, now that it is on Max, the autonomous anime film finally found an audience.
Before the ring of the ring
Rohirrim’s war Explore the history of the Kings of Rohan, dramatizing the saga of Helm Hammerhand’s daughter, Hera, vaguely adapting the history of one of the annexes of Jrr Tolkien. As with Power ringsThe film tries to give life to the history of the environment of the environment long before the return of Sauron, but while the series found its place in season 2, the anime The film collapses under the weight of expectations. Distant to the external signs of Middle-earth, and the story of Hera rising above the expectations of society to save his people in their darkest hour is a classic fantastic catnip, but as a legendary franchise, she failed to meet expectations.
Told by Eowyn herself, Miranda Otto,, Rohirrim War Find the kingdom of Rohan siege by the Dunlendings after their chief, Wulf, is humiliated when he asks Héra’s hand in marriage. Helm Hammerhand, expressed by Succession Brian Coxtry to wage war by itself, fighting a lost battle against the vast horde despite its strength and its inflexible will. It is an exciting part of the history of the land of the environment, and is taken up in The two towersBut with a better plan and more support from Warner Bros., it could have been a success instead of being sent to the bomb.
When the property is not good enough
This is the real tragedy of Rohirrim War: It was created to complete a contract and keep the rights of the film, not because the studio thought it had finally a great story to tell in the world of Middle -earth. Center the film on Rohan was an intelligent decision because the kingdom lends itself by means of anime, and although the animation itself is not as fluid as that of Demon tubeIt is perfectly usable and does a good job by emulating the appearance of Jackson’s films. But “good enough” is not enough with one of the biggest franchises in the world that has defined all the fantastic genre.
In theaters, Rohirrim’s war Managed $ 20 million worldwide, which would be considered great for an anime film, but it also had a budget of $ 30 million, even before taking into account marketing, which, although thin, still costs millions. Withdrawn from the cost of a ticket, it is much easier for anyone to give a shot to the film, and they did it to make its debut as a number one film of Max. The franchise will never reach the heights he made with the trilogy of Jackson, and although the film fails, an anime prequel was a daring decision, and if nothing else, it’s better than Power rings Season 1.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rohirrim War is streaming on max.
