First trailer for War of the Rohirrim released
Warner Bros. released its first trailer The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim today, and it wasreceived mixed reviews. On the one hand, many comments expressed hope that this animated film would be more tolerable than the abomination that was rings of powerWhile others automatically notice how central the “girl boss” heroine is to the plot, causing much apprehension about the direction this story will take.
War of the Rohirrim It is set 200 years before the events of the War of the Ring. When the Dunlending Lord Wolf attacks Rohan to avenge his father's death, Helm Hammerhand and his men are forced to hide in the Hornburg, where they wage their final struggle against the Dunlendings. Narrative-wise, this tale of Rohan legend has many interesting characters, yet Hera had no story of her own, which is why the creators were drawn to her over everything else.
The trailer begins by thrilling the audience with some scenes Two towers and the screen displays Peter Jackson's name and the words “Back to Middle-earth”, along with a voice-over of lines taken from King Theoden's speech before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
At first glance, the animation and overall art style is very well done; however, after several shots of the Olifants or Mumakil, the giant war elephant-like creatures used in battle by the Haradim, it starts to look like something different. lord of the rings Overall. If it was an original idea, the overall excitement would probably be higher, and there would be something to compare, the heroine, Hera, is very reminiscent of The Hobbit The original character of the film trilogy, Tauriel. Strong-willed and rebellious in many respects, she rejects a marriage proposal from the Dunlending Lord, which partly sparks the conflict between the two clans. I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad part of the plot, but once the scenes are shown, she is seen to fight as fiercely with a sword as any man. Now, for those who have seen the original films and read the novels, yes, there is the famous scene of Eowyn saying to the Witch King himself, “I am no man!” and stabbing him, or the fact that she goes to war in disguise to protect her uncle, King Theoden, whom she loves dearly as a father.
Would this heroine have the same qualities? One would hope so, but in this modern age, there is always the fear of the dangerous, exaggerated character of the “girl boss” portrayed in films of the last decade, and War of the RohirrimUnfortunately, this may fall into that category. One particular scene that stood out was Hera climbing the steep slope of a mountain, which, while I'm not saying it was taken from the series, was very similar to Galadriel. rings of power During the first episode he single-handedly took down an Ice Troll, which, as those of us faithful to the legends know, never happened.
In fact, the story seemed very promising from the start and could be a huge hit if done well. But if the plot and story focus only on one tired character, there seems to be no way for this film to succeed in the eyes of most Tolkien fans.
With all that being said, what are everyone's thoughts on this early trailer? Do you think it can be saved or is it already a lost case? Please comment below.
