Pretty boring movie, I wouldn't waste your time coming to theatres to see it. The king was the only likeable part of the entire movie

Being an animation this unfortunately won't get the love it deserves. Reminds me heavily of watching something like Nausicaa. I felt for the characters, it was beautiful and epic. A nice ride out into Tolkien's middle earth.

Surprisingly, I liked this. It is over-long, contains some spotty animation, and is filled to the brim with fantasy cliches. But it is also epic, contains beautiful backgrounds, and takes place in a lived-in world. I really enjoyed the art direction. Kamiyama provides good direction, and I like the casts’ performances. The worst thing? The suits clearly mandated some LOTR tie-ins, because they are so unneeded and ham-fisted — it took me out of the story that is actually being told.

Unfortunately not a great experience. - Clash of visual styles in animation - Many of the characters move like puppets on strings + Soundtrack was great - Wouldn't have watched if it wasn't labeled LoTR, I guess
