Part 7/9:
Where War of the Rerum initially appeared to closely follow Tolkien’s work, the latter half regrettably descended into juvenile storytelling. The animation quality suffered from chaotic production values due to the involvement of numerous studios, trivializing the visuals of the animation. Although the character design and settings vaguely resembled the cherished visuals of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, the animation and dialogue failed to resonate with Tolkien's poetic writing style.
Overall, the film's execution revealed a lack of engagement with the source material, relegating significant characters to the background while new, nonsensical protagonists took center stage.
