Can't wait to hear a million fanboys hate on this before ever watching it

You should check out /r/movies on Reddit, they're seething over the very existence of this film.

They even hated when eowyn killed the king of the nazgul and that's in the books. I think they just hate women

I mean it's going to be full of things which aren't in the books so the only reason to put the LOTR name to it is a cash grab. There may be a few pages on this throughout Tolkien's works so it is rather little to go off in terms of being "canon". That said this is a war of men v men so the presence of orcs, goblins, Ents, wizards, elves, or dwarves would be unexpected and hobbits and the rings are uninvolved. But all of that has probably been shoved in...
