The new film tells the story of an attack on the people of Rohan, pulled from Tolkien's writing. But they've added a brand-new character.
The War of the Rohirrim is the first Lord of the Rings film in a decade, but can it compare with the originals?The War of the Rohirrim is the first Lord of the Rings film in a decade, but can it compare with the originals?The War of the Rohirrim explores a little-known corner of the Tolkienian universe: the story of Helm, king of Rohan.
In other words, the screenwriters made her up, which will likely irritate more than a few Tolkien purists, though it does make a fair enough point about the historical erasure of women. This isn't the first animated adaptation to be set in Middle-earth, of course, and there are moments in The War of the Rohirrim — which mixes 3D modelling and motion-capture into its traditional 2D animation — that echo the look and feel of Ralph Bakshi's singular, if ill-fated, 1978 take on The Lord of the Rings.
These sequences are a blast to watch, in a Saturday-morning-cartoon kind of way, and they're jazzed by an often-ravishing visual design.
