127. Where War of the Rohirrim went Wrong – In Depth Review

We all had high hopes when War of the Rohirrim was announced a few years ago–particularly since it was attached to Philippa Boyen, screenwriter of the original trilogy. So, Michael and I went out this week to see it in person (with our kids in tow too!).

Here, then, is our unabashed review of the film… the ups (a couple), the downs (too many), and the whys that remain unanswered.

We examine the following in War of the Rohirrim:

• The Animation/Art Style
• The Music
• The Characters/Acting
• The Dialogue
• The Story
• The Pacing
• The Lore

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

• What the movie SHOULD have been if it was lore-accurate, fleshing out a tail that focuses directly on Helm Hammerhand.
