@devitradio couldn't agree more! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it 😁 That's such an important distinction to make and in my opinion it all comes down to whether you are forcing a narrative to fit an agenda and im my opinion this film didn't do that at all! 💪

@k3y155 thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, really appreciate it! 😁

@ no, thank you for your review!

@k3y155 it's an absolute pleasure! I'm glad it could spark some conversatjon 😁

How so? :)

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it!

It happens more often than you would think... trust me 🤣

It's such amazing animation to see on the big screen! 😁

I really felt the stakes for the future of Rohan in this film... it was a great way to tell a more contained story within the broader world of Peter Jackson's middle earth 😁 And I agree... it looked amazing on screen! 🎬

😎👍💪

Awesome! Thanks so much 😁 have you seen it yet? 🙊

It really is a fun time! I think that's the perfect way to sum up this film 😁 I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Let me know where the lore issues lie... always keen to learn 👍

@@WhatsPoppingBruce Sure for this movie try Appendix A section 2 The House of Eorl. This isn't a faithful creation based of the roughly 2 & a half pages about the end of Helm rather taking the movie that should have been about Helm and basically using his name to give creditability to a boss/mary sue character that a writer has created for themself. To shoe horn the orks looking for the ring and Hera off to see Gandalf simply completely unnecessary. My suggestion to you as a content creator would be to put a little bit of work into your reviews, I don't think reading the roughly 2 & a half pages that is the source of the movie should be too much to ask.

@Team-Aaron what is unnecessary or shoe-horned in your opinion still does not constitute breaking of the lore...

@Team-Aaron what's more... the same section of the appendices you cite refer to helm's death with reference to Helm dying one night when he was out stalking his enemies. He was found dead as a stone but with unbent knees, standing upon the Dike near the Hornburg. Is the movie embellishing this to create a narrative? Obviously... is it lore breaking? I remain unconvinced.

@@WhatsPoppingBruce Classic! Much like your review you again missed the point. If you took the time to read the comment you would have seen "To shoe horn the orks looking for the ring and Hera off to see Gandalf simply completely unnecessary." key point would be unnecessary not lore breaking, the lore breaking come from what the writer changes from the Apprendix in order to push the made up character.

Move 30 damage onto zard from your bench using Munkidori, bravery charm on the drifloon with 100 damage and you are knocking out zardies in one shot 💪😎

Amen! Completely agree with what Andy Serkis had to say about this one 😁

@@WhatsPoppingBruce On that note, I pay more attention to THAT consensus than most reviews

Too true! Let me know what you think once you have seen it 💪😎

Always a pleasure to hear from a true scholar on the subject... thanks for your valuable input.

"Japanimation?" How old are you? I think it's been at least 20 years since I last heard someone use that term.

Awesome! You will have to let me know your thoughts once you have seen it 😁

@@WhatsPoppingBruce Sure mate

It's definitely been a long wait and a long time coming! I think that the future of lotr definitely lies in live action, but this was a refreshing deviation and a great way to tell a new story in a universe we all love 😁 You have to let me know what you think once you have seen it!

Why do you say that? :)

Beowulf….the motion capture disaster of uncanny valley? Oh goodness me, I think you need to rewatch Beowulf if you think it has great animation. A lot of people have never watched anime, yet are quick to judge The War of the Rohirrim without even watching it.

@@Dilbub yep these people are ridiculous lmao

I think that there is definitely a lot here to be excited about 😁 it seems to me that it is always far more click-baity to rip things apart and spread criticism where it isn't deserved. Credit where it is due... I think that this is an exciting return to Peter Jackson's middle earth. Please let me know your thoughts once you have seen it as well 😁

​@@WhatsPoppingBruceYou telling me because with those both haters and toxic fans community so we needed to defend this film😊

It's far easier to tear something down and rip it apart than be positive and share your honest thoughts... unfortunately that's what gets more clicks 🙈

I think its a great medium for a story of this type that perhaps doesn't warrant a full live action outing and is a little less risky for the studio. But i can't wait for the hunt for gollum and the other live action projects that are in the works... as long as it's not rings of power 😅🤣

what wake up call? there were very few people who were thinking of having lotr be animated. I like animated and its a shame that people are going to hate on it despite its potentially good story just because it exists alongside Rings of Power released along the same time. Plenty of lotr reviewers (who aren't actually lotr reviewing, just anti woke) get mad because it makes money for the algorithm.

Anger and outrage get clicks... these are facts...and i couldn't agree more! Really enjoyed my time with this film even though i was worried going in 😁

You are right! I stand corrected... Gollum had the ring for over 500 years 🙊 so it was likely with him in the cave during the events of this film 😁

It is well worth the watch! 😁

Its a pleasure! We had a bad storm that played havoc with our audio... but thanks for bearing with us 😁

Unfortunately we had a rain storm hit halfway through... but the show had to go on! 😅

It really has been crazy to see such a super negative response from so many people. Really sad how it is the "cool kids" way to spread hate without backing up their critiques with anything more than throwaway comments or poorly reasoned arguments. I'm all for people sharing their opinions... but the level of disrespect is upsetting!

It's honestly frustrating. Every movie review on youtube is regurgitating the same nonsense talking points. UA-cam movie reviewers talk about hollywood only concerned with profit yet these youtubers have to rely on same attention metrics hollywood does (on a smaller scale but all is relative) to make money. So these youtubers cater to nostalgia and whatever opinion is already dominating the public sphere. Everybody has so much access to information but with no discernment, everybody has a LOUD voice online but nobody has good ears to listen. Regardless I'm happy the movie is smashing the box office. Also though the music during the action scenes was impeccable

@swagsurfer6094 couldn't agree more! Thanks so much for sharing 💪

Sorry to hear it wasn't for you!

@@WhatsPoppingBruce It had terrible CGI monkeys and sharks. There was no backstory as to how both those insane brothers became emperors. It was a rehash of the original gladiator storyline basically. It was laughable and lazy storytelling.

@@russturk4132 like I said... I'm really sorry to hear you didn't like it...

Huzzah!

@spicenico8331 good point! As long as there is enough hp left to be able to use psychic embrace and not self K.O 😁

That would have been insane 🙊

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it 🙊

So much shine! 🙊

Wicked is awesome! No blame there 🤪

I'm sorry to hear it left you wanting... I genuinely enjoyed it 🙊 I hope your next outing to the cinema is a more fruitful one 😁😁

I'm sorry to hear that this one fell flat for you 🙊

You sound delightful 👍 Sorry to hear this one didn't live up to your standards.

I'm really sorry that it fell flat for you... I think sometimes when film's have such high expectations/legacy it can go one of two ways when you watch it 🙈 Thanks so much for sharinh your thoughts and giving your critique! I really appreciate it 😁

I'm glad you love it 😁

@@WhatsPoppingBruce It is the best musical movie since Evita(1996),La La Land(2012),The Greatest Showman(2019) and Barbie(2023).

Hard to argue with that! Such a great time in the cinema 😁

Can't wait! Have you seen the Broadway play? 🙊

Very true! That's why editing is such an art 😁 I just think some sequences in the second act dragged on a little and there's probably around 15 mins that could be left out. That being said... i don't know what is to come in part 2, so things i felt could be glossed over may be critical to the future plot... thats also why its so hard to judge a part 1 in isolation 🙊 Either way... im excited for what comes next 😁

I think if part two is done as well as we all hope... then it will probably make them a 10/10 when you combine the two 😁! Fingers crossed 🙊

What makes you say that?

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and laying out your perspective so eloquently. I really appreciate you sharing your opinion on the film 😁 it is always great to see stimulated conversation and dialogue flowing in good spirit!

You nailed bro. It tries too hard to recapture the magic of the first one. Dissaponting.

This is true :') It is just sooo good and the fanbase is so intense that the following can sometimes feel "cultish"! In the best possible way :P

@@WhatsPoppingBruce and so were the fans of Phantom of the Opera; Les Miserables; Hamilton; Rent; Moulin Rouge; and on and on

True! The fanbases are strong 😁

I agree! Lots of payoff to come from part two. I think the second act suffered a little bit from some extra character and world building that didn't feel entirely necessary for this part of the story. If part two shows how necessary those aspects were to the overall narrative, then that critique of mine will fall away 😁

Literally cried during the same scene had me questioning my gangster 😅

I don't understand what portions of the film you are referring to when you say "Act 2". I don't think the film is too long. I find it exuberant rather than self indulgent. It is celebrating the fan base's appreciation, certainly. I love musicals. But I am not a particular fan of Wicked until THIS film version. (For a self indulgent film, I'd refer to the Judy Garland version of A Star Is Born.)

I just feel like the film drags it's feet a little in the middle and could have done with a few cuts in terms of the length of some of the less iconic music numbers to make way for a slightly faster paced plot. The third act is such a breath of fresh air though.. and is arguably one of the best of any film i have seen this year. I just felt it took us a little too long to get there, as we lingered a touch too long in one place or another for the sake of showing something that didn't feel wholly necessary. I do think that John M Chu is such a good director though that it will probably all prove to be important for setting up part 2... so it's a double edged sword when trying to judge a two-part film. Ultimately, I am nitpicking here to be honest 🤣. The movie as a whole is awesome and I can't wait for part 2!

No shame there... mad respect 😛😎

Eloquently said 👍

Me too. 😏 😜 😊 🥰 💛💛💛❤❤❤ Did you see Wicked? I have seen Wicked 3 times already. I'm going back next weekend.

@@stevencook7156 i did indeed! Thoroughly enjoyed it 😁 I did a review for it on my channel as well if you want to check it out 👻

Sorry to hear it wasn't for you 👀

I had myself a good time... guess not everyone feels the same way 👀
