What the hell went wrong with the reception this movie got? It was more sincere and genuine than anything made for a big western IP in 20 years, especially when it comes to fantasy works, but you'd never know it looking at the reviews

Just like Tolkien wanted

It’s bottom of the barrel slop that fucks with the lore, at least Rings of Power has some redeeming qualities and production value.
>>
>>221037139
it wasn't very good
>>
>>221037139
I see it anon, I watched on a flight thinking it would just be some nice background noise and it got hooked.
The plot is surprisingly tight for a modern production.

Only for covid normie tourists and they always just self report

i might watch. hows the english voic acting? is it terrible like all recent anime dubs?

lol

You deranged fagdividual. This movie was dogshit. Also saw it on a plane. I have seen fanfiction with less cringe writing. Its almost as if the writers were (a) retarded and (b) told to reuse as many lines from the LOTR trilogy as possible.
>>
>>221037394
>hows the english voic acting? is it terrible like all recent anime dubs?
It's really good
>looked for a Japanese dub to avoid the usual American VA cringe
>while switching audio streams overheard Brian Cox as the king
>decided to leave it on English for he but it ended up being really fucking good in general
I can't remember the last time I heard English-speaking VAs deliver their lines so earnestly in a fantasy series, I thought it was an extinct concept, especially after just coming off of Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein where the VAs are pros (unlike anime dubbers) but still sound embarrassed by the story they wrote themselves

Literally zero cringe in the whole movie

being this sensitive is a feminine trait, btw

Watched it on opening day in a completely empty theater. It was alright but honestly it really didn't feel anything like Lord of the Rings to me.

Damn

The movie had a plot that hinged on happenstance and people acting stupidly, that's why people shat on it. If you didn't notice the glaring flaws, then I'm afraid you were either distracted or too low IQ to notice. No biggie, you were clearly the target audience.
>>
>>221037139
it's not kino, its boring as fuck

So just like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings?

>>it's actual kino
Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
Which part would make it kino?
The amateurish dialogue written by the producer's daughter? One-dimensional villain? Protagonist who has no motivation to do anything? Helm Hammerhand being reduced to a tertiary character in favor of their female OC? Art style that walks the awkward line between realistic and exaggerated, and fails to take any real advantage of the animation medium? Or the modern generic anime character design that doesn't understand the medium it is lifted from?
>>
>>221037139
it's barely mid, they were so afraid of telling a different story they copied scenes from the movies
>>
>>221037139
I've never seen it.
>>
>>221037139
it was fine but unnecessary. It would have been kino if it had a better art style like in your pic, and not looked like a cheap anime
>>
>>221038295
>The amateurish dialogue written by the producer's daughter?
It was basic but not amateurish, fitting for what was originally just part of the side appendix
>One-dimensional villain?
In LOTR?
>Protagonist who has no motivation to do anything?
What do you mean, her motivation is to save her people, she spends all movie trying to do it
>Helm Hammerhand being reduced to a tertiary character in favor of their female OC?
The dynamic is no different than Frodo and Aragorn, Frodo is technically the protagonist and POV but Aragorn gets to do all the cool hero king stuff, Helm's the highlight of the movie
>Art style that walks the awkward line between realistic and exaggerated, and fails to take any real advantage of the animation medium?
I prefer it over the generic real life New Zealand in the Jackson movies
>Or the modern generic anime character design that doesn't understand the medium it is lifted from?
It was a Japanese production

Trying to imagine what this poster looks like and all I can picture is a tranny with clown hair
>>
>>221037139
There's a woman on the poster and LOTR has a generic toxic chub group in its fanbase.
>>
>>221037139
Its better than The Hobbit movies thats for certain

This is fanfiction, anon. Tolkien literally never named the lead character in this movie. It's literally based on bits and pieces referenced in the Indexes.

Ur right but the tranime pedos are gonna seethe about it.

also, forgot: there's also tonedeafness and awful voice acting
Dialogue in this scene is:
>TARGG: The Watcher in the Water. I never thought I'd live to see such a sight.
>HERA: General: Targg. What are you doing here? You were banished.
>TARGG; I was dispatched on a mission, but it seems that objective may have changed.
>HERA: What the... Dispatched by whom?
>TARGG: I serve a new commander. The high lord of the Hill Tribes.
>HERA: The wildmen have no high lord
>TARG: They do now.
>HERA: How dare you. Get your hands off me.

But you probably wouldn't have guessed that dialogue from the webm because it is expressionless.
>>
>>221037139
Its absolute girl boss dog shit
>>
>>221037139
female protag during the woke era. didn't matter if this movie was woke or not, it was flop by association.

>>221037242
you are wrong and projecting thobeit.
>>
>>221038596
>It was basic but not amateurish
no it is bad see >>221039067
>In LOTR?
Even Sauron had more dimensions than Wulf.
>What do you mean, her motivation is to save her people, she spends all movie trying to do it
That's an external want; where is the internal need that makes her what she is? This is writing 101.
>It was a Japanese production
Same way Simpsons is American despite every frame being drawn by Korean animators.

What the fuck is girl boss about it? She barely does anything during the whole movie
>>
>>221037139
You're obviously a complete idiot and probably also thought Rings of Power was great.
>>
Focusing the story on the unmarried daughter was actually quite prudent given that all the sons and Helm himself die halfway in and there's no POV left at the fort to see the story through
>>
>>221037190
It worked quite well for me!
>>
>>221037139
I gotta get around to watching this. Thanks for reminding me.
>>
>>221037139
are there blacks in it?

>>221037139
I liked it.
