If you're a Middle-earth fan starving for more lore and don't mind anime-style animation, this prequel about Rohan's legendary last stand is worth a shot tonight. It's a solid addition to the LOTR universe with sword-clashing action and political intrigue, though it won't hit quite like the Peter Jackson originals. Watch it if you want to disappear into fantasy world-building; skip if you need that theatrical spectacle magic.

Plot

A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and traitorous lord of Rohan seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm Hammerhand, the King of Rohan, and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg.
