Critic Reviews
The War of the Rohirrim (2024) Review: Handsome but Hollow
★★☆☆☆
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is an anime prequel about a siege in Rohan, handsome in its landscapes but stiff, thin and too long for its story.
Mostly no. Devoted Middle-earth completists may enjoy the Rohan lore and the painted scenery, but most viewers will find it a stiff, overlong side story.
