Key Takeaways
- “War of the Rohirrim” receives positive reviews from early screenings, exciting fans for its upcoming release.

As a seasoned gamer and die-hard Lord of the Rings fan, I can’t help but feel both excitement and apprehension as we approach the release of “War of the Rohirrim”. Having grown up with Peter Jackson’s epic film trilogy, I’ve always held a special place in my heart for Middle Earth. The prospect of an anime-style theatrical film is truly intriguing, and the early reviews have me eagerly counting down the days to its release.
Upcoming animated film “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” is about to hit theaters, and although initial feedback from preliminary screenings has been positive, this could potentially signal trouble for another popular show.
As a diehard gamer and fan of epic fantasy, I’ve always held “The Lord of the Rings” close to my heart. Ever since J.R.R. Tolkien first unveiled Middle Earth, it has stood as the pinnacle of the genre, with numerous adaptations attempting – with varying degrees of success – to do justice to its grandeur. Among these attempts, Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy stands out as a resounding triumph, catapulting the franchise into the stratosphere of popular culture and earning adoration from fans worldwide.
Due to the expanding influence of multimedia platforms, fans were not surprised but thrilled when a theatrical film in an anime style was announced based on the IP. With stunning visuals and a compelling narrative at its core, it was confirmed that Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim would feature Christopher Lee reprising his role as Saruman. Although the wait for the film’s theatrical premiere is still a few days longer, early screenings have already taken place, and reactions on social media from those lucky enough to attend these previews have been incredibly positive. The online magazine Sci-Fi & Fantasy Gazette has gathered some of the most exciting comments about the film from social media that will undoubtedly leave fans eager to catch a showing when it premieres for general audiences on the 13th. This development is great news for War of the Rohirrim, New Line, and Warner Bros., but could spell trouble for another project and its parent company: Amazon Studios’ Prime Video series Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Although Amazon Studios is currently producing a third season for “The Rings of Power,” the show has experienced a significant drop in ratings since its last episode. In fact, even before the release of its second season, it had already seen a decline in viewership compared to its first season and stirred up some divisive discussions within the Tolkien fan community. Despite this, the show has managed to stay relevant due to filling a unique niche that few other shows have approached. Generally, even an unpopular “Lord of the Rings” adaptation is preferred over most other shows. However, the upcoming success of the animated “War of the Rohirrim” film could potentially influence Warner Bros.’ approach to the TV part of the franchise. If a well-executed animated “Lord of the Rings” series for Max were to be produced, set in the same era and adhering more closely to the canon for that period, it could pose a significant threat to “The Rings of Power.
It’s likely that Warner Bros isn’t too worried about the performance of “The Rings of Power”, as they approved an ad for Max that subtly criticized the Lord of the Rings-inspired show last year. The success of “War of the Rohirrim” could potentially lead to a more open conflict between these two studios involved in the Lord of the Rings franchise, but this might be beneficial. Competition often drives continuous advancements, and it seems that Amazon’s production may benefit from some healthy competition before it wraps up its planned five-season run.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is set for theatrical release on December 13, 2024.
