The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

Personal (extremely biased) rating: 1-2/10 Normalised rating: 4-4.5/10 maybe

I went to see the movie with a perspective of it being a fan fiction, already knowing about the 'out of lore' storyline. But this one is worse, there is no respect nor effort put into the film to make it meet the line of 'good movies'. With multiple scenes and dialogues mirroring or referring back to the original triology (especially to the Two Towers and Eowyn scenes here and there), it makes this film nothing but a mere parody to the original ones. Some of those was even inserted for no reason at all. The fighting made no sense. The dialogue for Helm is okay, I would say it's a good try. However, the dialogue for Hera is like something non-native English write in their assignment to avoid grammatical error; too simple, very basic and not royal-like at all. The graphics and visuals are almost terrible, floaty with little interaction between characters and environment, if not at all. For some occasions, random 3D modellings were put in out of nowhere with no effort to blend them in whatsoever. Even for anime, this is very sloppy, carelessly produced. Some scenes, the resolution and frame rate of background and its components were smoother and more refined than the main character, which is ridiculous.

Overall, it's an okay movie to pass your time, if and only if you haven't watched or known LOTR or Middle Earth before, and you have excess money laying around. For fans, I don't recommend you see the movie.
