Part 2/8:
One of the most remarkable features of the film is its setting. With the likes of Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens involved, the film wields an authentic score reminiscent of the first and second trilogies. Iconic locations such as Edoras and the Helm's Deep are represented well, allowing long-time fans to feel deeply connected to the Middle-earth we know. For instance, Meduseld’s depiction is visually stunning, as are the interiors of Rohan.
2. Realm, the Man of the Hammer
Another positive highlight is the portrayal of Realm. While he came across a bit overbearing at times, his representation remains strong. The character’s kingly presence is palpable, and his fight scenes, especially the duel with Freca, are well-executed.
