Sagan om ringen: Striden vid Rohan - Avis

...är du nyfiken på filmen och hungrig på mer av Sagan om Ringen tycker jag definitivt att du kan gå och se Striden vid Rohan.

...med ett relativt rustikt manus, och ett överraskande blodigt utfall är den absolut sevärd.

Att gestalta historien som anime känns heller inte som ett orimligt val om man vill närma sig en rik fantasivärld.

Som plåster på såren för den skeva könsfördelningen inom muntligt traderade hyllningskväden tillägnas således prinsessan en episk animerad popcornrulle.

There are morsels of Middle-earth magic here. And when Stephen Gallagher’s score liberally borrows from Howard Shore’s ‘Riders Of Rohan’ theme, few spines will go un-tingled.

This anime-style journey to Middle Earth dials back on risk and charm to robustly tell a simple tale of good versus evil.

...the best attempt we've seen of expanding the LOTR universe in recent years...

Blazing its own trail that parallels its flesh and blood siblings, while also respectfully doing its own thing, this is the sort of expansion that properly revitalizes a well-known franchise.

...combining cutting-edge Japanese animation with the audiovisual language established by Jackson’s original trilogy of films.

It’s certainly interesting, and at times even exciting. Héra – an invention for the movie, as Tolkien’s legendarium is not overflowing with Strong Female Characters...

...worth checking out, especially for the devoted.

...is told with great fervent conviction, and no true ‘LOTR’ fan will complain about that.

...dives into Rohan's history with an entertaining, Hobbit-sized adventure.

Striking and dynamic animation...

...Bakshi’s succeeded in his most basic of tasks: a vivid imagining of Tolkien’s timeless tale of Good and Evil.
