What’s It About
” Clash of the Empires ” (also known as Lord of the Elves) is a 2012 fantasy adventure film directed by Joseph J. Christ. Because of the Warner Bros. lawsuit, the original name, Age of the Hobbits, was changed to Clash of the Empires. The plot centers around a group of hobbit-like creatures known as the “Hobbits,” who live in a world filled with danger and conflict. The story follows these small, peaceful beings as they face the threat of an evil tribe known as the “Ogres.” The narrative begins with the Hobbits living in their idyllic village, where they enjoy a simple life. However, their tranquility is shattered when the Ogres invade their land, seeking to capture them for food and enslave them. In response to this threat, a brave Hobbit named “Frodo” (not to be confused with Tolkien’s character) embarks on a quest to unite his people against the Ogres and seek help from other races in their world. Throughout the film, Frodo and his companions encounter various challenges and adventures as they attempt to rally allies and devise a plan to defeat the Ogres. The film features elements typical of fantasy narratives, including battles, alliances, and personal growth among its characters. Ultimately, it culminates in an epic confrontation between the Hobbits and the Ogres. The film capitalizes on the popularity of Tolkien’s works by using similar terminology and concepts while presenting a distinctly different storyline. This strategy aims to attract viewers who might be interested in fantasy films but are looking for something that resembles mainstream hits without being directly affiliated with them. The film has received mixed reviews but has found an audience among those who appreciate its campy nature and connection to larger fantasy themes.
