Finished the movie about an hour ago. I'm not a lore fag but it is really bad. I don't like the characters but the VAs aren't too bad.
The animation switches from kinda serviceable to wtf. In the first big action scene with
Helm and Freca the frame rate seems to drop between smooth and janky af. I can't find a video but it's super jarring. I'd expect this from a Netflix original but like Castlevania did better than this.
Story is pretty dumb.
3/10. Makes me think I was too cruel on Rings of Power.
>>445014Ideally for me the way forward is shop out an anthology series to various studios based on the Silmarillion and the Appendixes. Cartoon Saloon, Mappa, Studio Mir, Fortiche etc. Give them 45 min episodes, get a show runner to step in and keep them in line and I think it would be great. They'd probably do it for cheap to have a LotR show prestige.
