The cinema year 2024 will go down in history. At least according to fans of The Lord of the Rings. This year, after a long time, a film based on JRR Tolkien's fantasy saga is finally coming to cinemas. And this film even belongs to director Peter Jackson's canon of blockbusters. But that could be exactly the problem.
When is the new Lord of the Rings movie playing?
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is a prequel to Peter Jackson's films. The story starts around 250 years before the War of the Ring and tells of the Rohirrim horse people and their war against the wild horde of the so-called Dunlanders, rather backward and ruthless fellows.
Also the Dunlander belong like that Rohirrim to the human race and this is exactly where the problem with The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim could lie. In contrast to the epic Battle of Helm's Deep, in which Peter Jackson fought alongside the humans and the Uruk-hai (a specially bred species of orcs). a few noble elves incorporated into the hustle and bustle of the fight, the new film against the same backdrop will “only” be about a confrontation between two armies of men go. But what's actually so bad about that?

Comparisons to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers are inevitably put when it comes to Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim will rise up in front of the walls of Helm's Deep. And a scenario Man against man Sounds rather dull without elves, orcs, dwarves or even hobbits. One can only hope that the makers take a cue from role models like Braveheart or Game of Thrones and go their own way, without going too far Peter Jackson to emulate.
