MOVIE REVIEW: Though an Interesting Idea, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’ Fails to Be Fresh or Unique

Name: The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
Director: Kenji Kamiyama
Released: 2024

My experience with anime has prepared me for the shift of extremes: from the very serious to the hilariously silly – and ‘Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim’ never gets silly. It’s so serious and bleak that it feels alien to see it in anime form.
