    Serial jest przede wszystkim nudny oraz pozbawiony jakiegokolwiek klimatu. Dialogi są napisane okropnie szczegolnie widać to podczas rozmowy elronda z galadriel. Jedyne co można dać na plus to oprawe audiowizualną chociaz za takie pieniądze można było oczekiwać więcej.

    Overall it strikes the same visual key as one of Johnny Depp's promos for his sausage-perfume. 'Essence of wetness', etc. Also share similar modes of storytelling.

    Have only watched the first episode. Just a casual Tolkien fan. Read the LOTRings once. Really enjoyed the Jackson trilogy. Hated his Hobbit trilogy. This is better than that, but not by much. It's dull. Really dull. So dull, that I'm not bothering to continue with the show.

I wanted to go in blind with just my love of the movies and books. And boy... was I disappointed. The CGI is worse than the original movies. The acting was rigid and unpolished. The story is lacking. The armor looks cheap and often LOOK like they are plastic. I also noticed armor being printed onto shirts. The characters were destroyed, putting existing ones in positions and doing things they never did. And making new ones to do things existing characters already did for no reason. They messed up several of the best characters in the series. They took people who didnt exist in the 2nd age, call them Harfoots (which is a hobbit, one of the 3 kinds) and pretends they are not hobbits. I dont understand the need to make Galadriel so unlikeable. Why do they need to destroy established lore? Why is there a weird push to have child nudity? I understand that changes need to be made when adapting a book to a movie, and given the size of this series I would expect less changes as they have the budget and time to include more; but this show purposely, and drastically change so much. I'll wrap this up by saying it was bad. On every level. For every 1 thing I thought look good, they instantly ruin it with bad dialog, cheap costumes, power ranger like wire work, poor writing and more.
    Save your time. Even the mess PJ had to take over and finish for Del Toro, The Hobbit, is better than this. By far. Watch that and the original trilogy. Hell, go do some chores you have been putting off. It's more fulfilling picking up dog poop or pulling weeds from the garden than watching this.    … Expand

    I feel like this is a shameless attempt to tick diversity boxes. Sure the CGI looks good but not sure it’s worth the money they must have shelled out. Any thing with dwarves in looks good but that’s about it… honestly struggling to find positives. Just watch house of the dragon or the last kingdom instead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well dad, you really f’d this up. Firstly I am not a bot. Nor am I a troll. Nor am I some alt-right guy who has a problem with diversity. Isn’t it sad that we have to start putting disclaimers in front of our opinions and reactions? Ok, off we go. Rings of Power. It looked amazing. It would seem that every one of those billion dollars was sunk into making it visually outstanding. They get a 9/10 for the art direction and special effects. I really enjoyed Arondir. He has an otherworldly quality making him brilliant casting as an elf. Sorry racists but he killed it. He gets an 8/10.

    If only the rest of the show came even close.

    I don’t use this word lightly, but I honestly hated it. Really, truly hated it. Rings of Power is probably the most disappointing and awful thing I have seen in recent memory.

    The writing is not just amateurish, it’s incompetent. The acting is reminiscent of what you see on daytime soap operas. The direction is lifeless. The casting is a dumpster fire, and how any of this was allowed to go beyond a pitch meeting boggles the mind. I understand that the pedigree of the showrunners includes a bad Star Trek film and turning a ride from Disneyland into a movie. It shows. These are the guys who shoehorned in the Not-Hobbits because they said it just didn’t feel right without Hobbits. Who cares that Tolkien said Hobbits were not a part of Middle-Earth at this point. What did he know anyway. He probably didn’t even use focus groups. (thats sarcasm by the way, the bit about focus groups)

    To me this indicates that they actually give zero f’s about the substance of Tolkien and more about creating a clever forgery to make a buck. Not-Frodo and Not-Sam are supposed to engender happy feelings I assume for anyone shallow enough to only need surface similarities to feel they’re watching LOTR. The poor actors cast as the Harfoots are really trying. But even the best actors can’t do much if all they’re given are grotesque parodies of other characters. Sadly, Not-Frodo and Not-Sam come across as insulting imitations. But 4/10 for the effort. And then there’s the elves. Oh Elves. Like I said above, at least Arondir was half-decent.

    Galadriel is brutal. Stinking brutal. The way the character is written, her lines, the actress’s one-dimensional performance. All of it. The character and the actress are absolutely awful. And this seems to be our main character. The bit where she swims across AN ENTIRE OCEAN. I laughed out loud when that happened. Then I cringed. Then laughed and cringed at once. But not in a good way. Whatever might have been salvaged from this show is lost due to the perfect storm of bad ideas, bad writing and bad acting that is the abortion of Galadriel. She is easily the worst of all the many, many mistakes this show has made. 0/10 and that’s being generous. Gil-Galad comes across as a bumbling idiot and poor Elrond is hapless, ineffectual, weak and pretty much everything opposite to how the character was written. 0/10

    Rings of Power is an insult to Tolkien and anyone who loves Tolkien. Sadly, Season 2 has already been greenlit so unfortunately this pile will continue. In a just world, every copy of this project would be destroyed. Burn the sets, the costumes, and pretend it just never happened. But, we live in a world where a mega-corporation can disfigure and ruin something as beloved as Tolkien either as a result of arrogance or a complete lack of understanding of the audience and source material. Again, I didn’t just dislike it. I really, truly hated it. It is heartbreaking to see something you love debased this badly. It’s also worth mentioning that the showrunners and Amazon accusing everyone who disliked this show of racism is vile. The actors of colour and the visuals were about the only things that didn’t suck. It says something about Prime, Amazon and the showrunners when their only response to people pointing out how bad the show is to call them racists. Apparently Bezos’ son said to him “dad, don’t f this up.” Well. Sorry dad. You really, really, really f’d this up.    … Expand

    While the visual (environment) is great, the characters and dialogue are incredibly boring. The story is all over the place and to be honest, boring, uninspired.

In the end, she comes across as not being comfortable in the role of being a warrior and this just breaks the connection to the character. The "mysteries" are totally see through. The socio-cultural "current times" insertion of progressive messages are totally artificial and ruin the story and characters. The Hobbit wannabes are packed with cringe and are just clones of Sam and Frodo with a chromosome swap. I'm giving 2 stars, but that's just for the interesting picturesque landscapes, which must have taken a lot of crunch effort from the design teams. Kudos to them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Full spoiler review

    I will only criticize and mention what is in the series. Warning, I'm spoiling everything. Cheerfully.

    The series opens with Galadriel as a child making a small boat, but his skiff is heckled by other child elves who sink it with stones. Big Brother Galadriel (whom I will call Brother Galad from now on) comes to comfort her. In effect :
    The stone sinks because it looks at the bottom. What is the secret of a small boat? He is looking up!
    Well, let's move on to this passage of philosophical depth worthy of several books all at once, and the strange message between the evil stone and the boat bringing hope, then the fact that Galadriel announces that sometimes the light is at bottom of the water and we no longer know who to follow… What shivers and questioning of deep thoughts, when we are not even five minutes away from the episode. Ah, and the children are naughty, we can't say it enough, school bullying, it follows you even among the elves #wearenotthesameracebutwedealwiththesameproblems.
    But this banal scene of the daily life of elves does not wait, since we are offered a splendid view (full of CGI. It's beautiful, huh, but it shows. And it's not because it's beautiful I just see a very, very beautiful video game. The performance is probably remarkable, but the interest?) on a gigantic tree. This one is burning. Why ? THE GREAT ENEMY MORGOTH. Why ? I just told you. Why ? Ah, yes, he is WICKED. So he burns the trees and leaves the whole land of the elves on fire! Where does he come from? We just told you, he's the big bad guy! Everything was perfect in the best of worlds, it's just stupid that we forgot our great enemy. And the great enemy broke the light!
    Suddenly, the alliance of the elves with the elves is organized and goes to defend itself! Yes yes, you read that right. The army of the elves leaves, on another continent where they have never been, to defend themselves against the one who destroyed their light. I call it revenge, but to each his own.
    CGI, pyrotechnic explosion all over the place, ridiculous fights, I'm not even going to dwell on the battle scene that follows. It's ugly, it's badly choreographed, the orcs hug, it's boring.
    Ha, but there are elven cities that burn though, after it's been going on for years. So, if I put it in context:
    - A guy burned the light in Valinor then broke in Middle-earth
    - The elves are chasing him to break his head
    - battle battle
    - The elves take the opportunity to settle
    - The elves are crying because their colonization is going badly
    Ah, and then the elves make mountains of helmet molds. Nice tribute.

    Then Morgoth is defeated, the orcs multiply under the command of the big bad Sauron (who is really big). Big Brother Galad promises to find him, but Sauron finds him first. And as we know that the first to find has won, bah, bye-bye Brother Galad. You were a well of philosophy in which to drown, too bad. Ah, and Sauron makes a trident on his skin, a mysterious sign that the wisest of elves, therefore the wisest creatures, have failed to decipher. And then Sauron has claws. I prefer not to know in what circumstances you died, brother Galad, but I hope that everything was agreed.

    Either way, Galadriel is revered. She swears to avenge her brother and so she goes on the hunt! Remember the orcs that proliferated under Sauron's command?
    Ha, well, there's more. Forgot. Sauron he went solo, presumably because the orcs went mushroom hunting. Suddenly, Sauron, he flees. Why ? I will have to refrain from asking this question, otherwise, we will not move forward.

    So Galadriel and her team hunt Sauron, across seas and mountains, where she makes it clear to us that everyone has forgotten Sauron, because their hunt has been going on for decades. Moreover, arrived at the top, the companions of Galad say to themselves that in fact they are at the end of the world and that they are fed up, because no one has ever found Sauron's fortress and it has been years that no one has seen an orca. (They are decidedly well-informed for guys who have been tracking Sauron around the world for decades, but let's move on.) They ask themselves such a fundamental question, how can beings survive in a place without light? So they must have perished!
    Good. I'm doing this spoiler while watching the show (it's a little choppy, but I don't think I'm losing much) and I promised not to anticipate anything. But ? RIP the dwarves. RIP the trolls. RIP the Balrog. And others, but like I said, let's pretend all the rest doesn't exist and move on.

    Adar’s début drips with signifiers. ... When Adar informs Arondir in Episode 4 that he has been told many lies, some that “run so deep even the rocks and roads now believe them,” it is still a thrill. Tolkien succeeded in creating a mythic world, one that has now grown vast enough through acts of typological repetition and imitation to conquer television, too.

    With war brewing and the forging of the rings seemingly still far off, the first half of The Rings of Power’s first season constitutes little more than stage-setting for the struggle to come. Given the lack of quests and central commanding figures, it often makes for less-than-gripping drama. However, given that there are four more seasons already planned, and potentially dozens of new characters to be introduced, the slow and throat-clearing build is possibly a good sign.
