Movie Review: Lord of the Rings, War of the Rohirrim

Overall, this movie was pretty good.

And by pretty, one of the nicest things about it was that the lead character, the warrior princess Héra, is very pretty and conforms to traditional Japanese anime standards for feminine beauty.

At least the childless wokesters did not ruin that.

However, the movie creators did make certain to make every man in the movie appear stupid. Every. Single. One. Including the film’s namesake from Tolkien’s actual lore: King Helm Hammerhand, whom the movie depicts as a haughty brute. Most of this content in this movie review article is going to identify just how the movie denigrated all the named male characters.

Making Giant Eagles a Lame Deus Ex Machina

The core problem with the movie is that its outcome rests even more upon a deus ex machina plot device, using the giant eagles, than any previous Tolkien-world art, whether in the original books or in any of the previous movies or shows.

Plot Spoiler: Princess Héra Hammerhand convinces one of the semi-intelligence giant eagles to basically send a plea for help message to a potential relief force of Rohirrim warriors holed up in a separate fortress, Dunharrow, who were apparently completely unaware of the plight of their king holed up in the separate Hornburg fortress.

Too many supposed peacemakers hide their reliance on the violence of police enforcement even from themselves. Violence is physical, not verbal. Humanity has a duty to envision new ways to prevent violence (government or not) & solve other problems voluntarily without coercion.
