It was very mid so not surprised.
I enjoyed it but also did not think it was gonna have much mass market appeal. I think it being animated probably turned a couple people off but I quite liked that. Where it struggled is building actually likable characters and a coherent story. At least twice characters and plot points were so monumentally dumb it got hard to really suspend my disbelief and overlook it. The big villain of the movie is also depressingly 2dimensional.
Once you realise it’s more of an in universe folk retelling by Arwen. It’s easier to suspend disbelief. It’s almost like hearing a fairy tale or a myth from middle earth.
Is this something I should have noticed in the movie or just one of the fan stories made up to explain away the issues of the movie?
Arwen’s actor is the narrator
Okay so it’s not explained. Obv Arwen is gonna be the narrator, she’s the main protagonist of the story.
Arwen is not the main character at all
As someone who was eagerly anticipating this movie and saw it in theaters, it’s a shame that it ended up having a terrible box office gross. I thought it was really good, and I appreciated the fact that I got to see 2D animation on the big screen again.
I think the best-case scenario for Rohirrim is that it blows up on streaming and digital.
It was a decent movie. Just not sure how successful 2D animation movies are at the box office. I can’t remember the last time there was one that made a lot of money.
they would make a lot of money if anyone actually made them anymore.
