Fantasy films have always faced an ascending battle at the box office, with the exception of the Lord of the Rings trilogy Peter Jackson, which remains the most successful traditional series of fantasy in the history of the film. However, just like other successful franchise fantasy, Harry Potter (which with his 90s settings is not the same type of swords and witchcraft as Tolkien’s Masterpiece) as soon as all books have been edited, gas has run out. Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim It was the return of franchise to theaters, and although it was a disaster of the cash register, now that it is on Max, the independent anime film has finally found the audience.

Before the War of the Ring

Rohirrima He examines the history of Rohan kings and dramatizes the saga of the daughter of Helm Hammerhand’s daughter, Hera, a freely adapting the story of one of the attachments of JRR Tolkien. As well as ForcesThe film tries to revive the history of the middle country long before the return of Sauron, but while the series found its position in season 2, The Anime The film collapses under the weight of expectations. Removal from the pitfalls of the middle country and the story of how Hera has risen beyond the expectation of society to save its people in their darkest hour is the classic fantasy Catnip, but as part of a stormy franchise did not meet expectations.

He told herself Eowyn, Miranda Otto, Rohirrim war He finds the kingdom of Rohan under the encirclement of Dunlendings after their leader Wulf is humiliated when he asks for the hara hand in marriage. Helm Hammerhand, expressed Sequence Brian CoxHe tries to wage the war himself and fight the loss of the battle against a huge horde despite his strength and unsuccessful will. It is an exciting part of the history of the middle country and is an echo Two towersBut with a better plan and more support from Warner Bros., it could have been an intervention instead of being sent to the bomb.

When it is not good enough good enough

This is a real tragedy Rohirrim war: Was created to fulfill the contract and to hold on to film rights and not because the studio thought it has a great story in the world By Mediterranean. Cercing the movie on Rohan was a smart move because the kingdom fits the medium of anime, and although the animation itself is not as smooth as the movie DemonIt is absolutely serviceable and does a good job and mimics the look of Jackson’s movies. But “pretty good” is not enough with one of the largest franchises in the world that has become the definition of the whole fantasy genre.

In theaters, Rohirrima He earned $ 20 million worldwide, which would be considered great for anime film, but also had a budget of $ 30 million, a marketing that still costs millions, though thin. Removed from the cost of the ticket is much easier for everyone curious to release the film, and they drive it to debut it as Max’s number one film. The franchise never interferes with the heights that has done it with Jackson’s trilogy, and although the film failed, Anime Prequel was a brave move, and if nothing else it is better than better than better than better than Forces Season 1.
