Following up on my convo with Philippa on the term "General" in Tolkien. It is used TWICE in LOTR to refer to a military rank: 1) Faramir when talking about his brother: "Boromir son of Denethor was High Warden of the White Tower, and our Captain-General: sorely do we miss him." 2) In the Appendices, we are told about "victorious general Eärnil" of Gondor.
Half of the people hating haven't seen the movie, don't know Tolkien, and are just parroting views from the Internet. I'm a Tolkien purist and I refuse to watch ROP, but the difference between this and ROP is night and day. Looking forward to the movie.
Nerd of the Rings is my favorite Lord of the Rings channels on RUclips. Thank you for taking the time to curate such wonderful videos and for ever shining light on the world of Tolkien. I just got back from seeing the film and I absolutely loved it. Thank you for all that you do!
Took my son to this movie the other day and it was thoroughly enjoyed by both of us, and the crowd of school kids who came to see it too. Hopefully the word of mouth will bring more people to the cinema to see this!
Thank you Matt for doing this interview! I really don’t like anime at all, but I am so excited to watch this movie and enjoy my favorite world in a new way. Especially given that some the original writers and minds that were a part of giving us the LOTR trilogy are behind this.
To all of you grown ups that are dissapointed in the movie, i can highly recommend go watch it with your young kids or nephews. I went with my two nephews (age 8 and 12) and holy moly, that gave me a smile. They loved it soooo much
Just watched to movie and loved it! The animation seemed a little jumpy at the start and I think the first narration should probably be removed but otherwise great stuff.
My fiancé and I enjoyed it very much, the warhammer is so awesome! Can’t wait for the more in-depth video that’s exact reason we came on here to look for it but we can wait
Yesterday I saw the video of a person doing an analysis of the film that he didn't like and I saw some comments from people saying that Peter Jackson is an anti-Tolkien 🤦 and he was since the trilogy with changes he made such as Faramir threatening with his sword Frodo, The Witch King breaking Gamdalf's staff and throwing it on the ground, some of the other changes that were made and the trilogy was a success thanks to the music and the actors, just like that. Peter is. was that he had done it, I responded that calling Peter Jackson anti-Tolkien is stupid, why did he try so hard to make the trilogy as Tolkien as possible, models to be realistic, weapons and armor made the way they were made. In the old days, he used Tolkien's two most famous illustrators for the films, a lot of practical effects, he was constantly rewriting the scripts and giving them to the actors to review in their cabins, because Peter could tell they were moving. away from the books and they were constantly rewriting it to be as close to the books as possible, tell me a person who is Anti Tolkien, do you think they would do the thing of constantly rewriting the scripts? If it weren't for Peter the films would never have been made, so we owe him a lot. During the filming of the trilogies he clearly explained that it is very difficult to bring a book to the cinema page by page. That is impossible, especially if there is more than one and long books, there are things that must be left as they are, others that must be changed and others that must be eliminated.
I hate all the woke stuff these days. But it also makes me sad that when people see a female lead they immediately start crying. Idk if the film is good. I will see it for myself soon and i hope its good and we get more. But female lead doesn’t equal bad movie. Its so annoying
as someone who love anime and like this movie. if there's more lord of the rings anime. especially the one that focus on Túrin Turambar. I hope it's A-1 or ufotabla who made it. I mean.... they're used to made fantasy anime that has a protagonist using black sword before(aka demon slayer and sword art online) it would be like a destiny for them to do it again. plus the sword fight would be crazy.
I watched War of the Rohirrim and loved it❤after 30 mins in, you forget it’s Anime” I been an Anime fan since the Street Fighter games and read the comic books, I was hooked😊
Can’t wait to see it and kidnap the hubs for a date ❤ Also, I’m hopeful for some storytelling skill like you mentioned in your review video. May not be confident in ROP, but hoping at least here there is some originality that doesn’t overtly rewrite lore. Some creative license is not bad, which many seem to believe.
Yet another disappointment. I had high hopes for this but like ROP, the Witcher, etc. they want to write fan faction and an entire movie focused on a character that was barely mentioned while taking away from the original work. You have an absolutely massive fanbase that is craving to see something new and yet we get this time and time again. They’ll be the next panel blaming “toxic” fans in a few weeks/months
@ i did actually. How much time did you get to watch helm do his night raids? Hera killing wulf?? I can keep going if you want me to put all the spoilers here in the comments
@ new content. There are a ton of stories they can pull from the appendices. Show us the story of the characters we love from the books! You don’t need to exaggerate or inflate them and take away the things they actually did and give those accomplishments to someone that never existed. There are strong amazing women already. You cheapen that by going in this direction
Dude - this isn’t Amazon, where your criticism would be legit. Philippa Boyens is one of the very best people to be making a Middle Earth film, and Phoebe being her daughter means she’s had the best teacher, along with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh

Thanks Matt for all your work❤
You always have great interviews. 😊
I'm a complete Anime noob but really excited about a Middle Earth setting to be my introduction. Can't wait to see the movie!!!!
To all of you grown ups that are dissapointed in the movie, i can highly recommend go watch it with your young kids or nephews.
I went with my two nephews (age 8 and 12) and holy moly, that gave me a smile. They loved it soooo much
What ? 😂
Watching it tonight and I cannot wait
I have waited eight months for this fantastic film. Can't wait to see it.
Lol same here, exactly the same amount of time.
Just watched to movie and loved it! The animation seemed a little jumpy at the start and I think the first narration should probably be removed but otherwise great stuff.
Philippa Boyens' involvement certainly lends talent, experience and legitimacy to this project.
My fiancé and I enjoyed it very much, the warhammer is so awesome! Can’t wait for the more in-depth video that’s exact reason we came on here to look for it but we can wait
I keep hearing these people say "authenticity" but I am yet to see where they used it

I’m probably gonna go see the movie next week! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 ARISE!!! ARISE RIDERS OF ROHAN!!! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
It’s awesome that you were able to interview them! I hope it’s good!
Loved the music ❤
as someone who love anime and like this movie.
if there's more lord of the rings anime. especially the one that focus on Túrin Turambar. I hope it's A-1 or ufotabla who made it.

The “Elf Lord” Philippa mentioned having lunch with. It just has to be Lee Pace right?! They can’t do this story without him
Saw it yesterday and it was EPIC!!!
Do we'll get Hugo Weaving? 🤔
Awesome Interview ❤
Elf Lord? Glad to see Hugo Weaving decide to make one last return.
I watched War of the Rohirrim and loved it❤after 30 mins in, you forget it’s Anime”
I been an Anime fan since the Street Fighter games and read the comic books, I was hooked😊
Great vid, thanks Matt

The previews didnt impress me so far but im going in with an open mind and low expectations.

Yup, 100%
Just like Star Wars, and Indiana Jones, Willow, … another franchise bites the dust
Wouldn't 'fan fiction' be something new?
At this point, I'm convinced y'all just copy-paste the same comments whenever something new comes out. lol. You clearly haven't seen this film.

"paid promotion"
Nope.
@@NerdoftheRings sure, keep telling yourself that
@@ShotgunWizardyou can't not disclose a paid promotion on RUclips.
😍😍😍😍😍✅✅✅✅✅
Hey tell them it is lame and gay.
The movie sucked
Woke garbage.
How so?
🤮🤮🤮
3 people who have NO clue about anything in the books or how to write a story... Superb..🤡
L...M...A...O. Imagine saying Oscar-winner Philippa Boyens doesn't know about the books or how to write a story.
She literally wrote the prologue to the greatest trilogy of all time.....
And she'd supposedly read the books every year since she was 15 by the time she wrote LOTR
Dude - this isn’t Amazon, where your criticism would be legit. Philippa Boyens is one of the very best people to be making a Middle Earth film, and Phoebe being her daughter means she’s had the best teacher, along with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh
Philippa definitely gives big "I can do it better" vibes in every interview I see. Imagine having a licence to print money and then making this film
First
