Didn't like the music, the scenery. It does not look like the movie series,. unfortunately.
It's also too slow and kind of boring.
Galandriel and Elrond are nice and all, but the series as a whole is just not captivating

Just invent new ones if you want a more modern take. Also, if you are going to spend almost a billion dollars, why not get a couple of big stars to do more of the heavy lifting? I wish they’d just been honest and hadn’t included any of Tolkien’s characters or places but had instead just called it a new world “inspired by Middle Earth”.

This show is $89.4 million per episode. The Fellowship of the Ring was $93 million which is 3 hours long. The acting is not great, the costumes are from rep theatre, character choices are nuts (swim from New York to Liverpool), characters themselves aren't engaging or appealing. The music is distracting (sorry Bear McCreary), and a forgettable theme tune.

I'm really missing elves with long hair. A personal thing, but that's how (after Jackson's movie) I see elves in Tolkien. I guess a thousand years ago fashions are different in real world, but it is soooo distracting in this. The dialogue is worse than prequel Lucas.

Compare two characters – Galadriel vs Rhaenyra Targaryen (House of the Dragon, RoP main competitor). Rhaenyrais so much more engaging and kick ass, without even raising a weapon.

This show, after two episodes, is really bad for what has been spent on it. Watch The Fellowship of the Ring instead.

I'm getting goosebumps of remembering sat in a cinema, staring at a black screen, hearing Blanchett's voice, watching it for the first time. 26 seconds to the title reveal and I have more of an emotional connection than two episodes of this series.

In my personal opinion the beginning of the series is quite weak. The interpretation of some canonical characters are far removed from their literary counterpart. Lady Galadriel shows an unseemly and annoying rebelliousness, adding that she shows no wisdom. Especially the fact that she lived in the kingdom of Doriath in Beleriand years ago and it seems that all teachings of Melian were left aside in this version. In reference to Lord Elrond and Celebrimbor, there is not much to say, except the physical appearance that is not very successful. The story of the elf Arondir and the woman is completely unnecessary; the argument that tries to bring the couple closer is bad and relapses into cliché. In the case of hobbits, I quite liked it. It brings freshness to the slow central argument, despite the fact that no character is canonical. Likewise, the contribution of the meteorite character generates additional intrigue. Finally, the most redeemable so far are the scenes of Kahzad dum. The characterization of the male dwarfs is very well done, even the challenge invented in the series, winks at Vala Aulë himself, the one who created the Naugrim; more resilient in all deadly physical sorrow than other races. In the end, the series does not promise what it announced, however, there may be further development as it progresses.… Expand

It's no doubt that a lot of people were prepared to hate it no matter what. Firstly, there has been a lot of care and attention to the scenery, the music, and the CGI. Shooting in New Zealand was a great choice (although I'm biased, as that's my home). I don't think the costumes have had the same attention to weathering and general wearing in as they had in the Lord of the Rings movies or Game of Thrones. After the first episode I was pretty angry, as it was far worse than I thought it would be, however I definitely softened after the second episode. The dwarves are done well, and there is some proper characterisation and interaction that was entertaining. As far as the diversity goes, that's just a factor of today's world. If it wasn't multi racial, then it would have been cancelled for not being progressive enough. This doesn't mean though that it destroys the show though. Look at something like The Great as an example. It's also colour blind, but a very funny and engaging show. Unfortunately here, there is not a strong story or good dialog. I realise we are only two episodes in, however, the comments on this not being Tolkien's world are accurate. This is a generic fantasy story set in a somewhat Tolkienesque world. I think it's a valid criticism that the writers have not respected the source material, at all. I think the real mistake was in the way the show has been marketed from the outset. If you are old enough to remember back to when Lord of the Rings was released, Peter Jackson did regular youtube updates talking about progress and the way that he was interpreting and adapting the source material. Before the movies were released we knew that he loved the book, understood it, and was really trying to deliver something that fans would enjoy. Unfortunately Rings of Power have had cast interviews where they talked more about the progressive elements of the script - the first female black dwarf etc. It has given the view that being progressive and at times political is more important than the underlying story. It's the same issue that fans had with Star Wars ("The force is female"). Going to war against your own fandom or trying to preach to them is unfortunately only going to result in what we are seeing now. We now have fans who believe that the stories they love are being weaponised to push an agenda - even if it's not really the case. In summary, the show looks very pretty. It's obviously had a lot of love and attention, but would have benefited for the same amount of love and attention to a lot of other areas as well. I really don't think this is going to be the Game of Thrones replacement that Amazon was hoping for, and I would be very surprised it makes it to season 5 as they are hopiong.… Expand

Cependant, ce beau plumage montre quand même ses limites, car il faut bien des acteurs et des actrices pour l’incarner -tout n’est pas qu’effets numériques !- or, quelle bizarrerie, quelle infamie woke que de constater l’africanisaton au forceps de toute la distribution ! on a même des elfes (de la forêt) noirs… mais également des naines noires et ainsi de suite… ils sont partout !

Les wokistes ont donc encore frappé et nous imposent leur diversité qui n’a pas lieu d’être dans ce monde de fantasy hérité et inspiré des cultures européennes séculaires et caucasiennes. D’ailleurs, les wokistes oublient systématiquement d’inclure des Asiatiques et pourquoi me direz-vous ?… parce qu’ils sont -encore- trop clairs !

Alors évidemment, les Hauts Elfes sont quand même blancs mais c’est franchement tout juste… Mais ce n’est pas le seul souci de cette série de merde, car l’histoire se traîne lamentablement, les comédiens et comédiennes jouent mal -mal dirigés sans doute- et les bavardages incessants sont vraiment assommants tandis que l’action -rare- se laisse aller au cut & move.

Les épisodes sont trop longs et malgré leur nombre restreint (8 en tout), il ne se passe rien et/ou lorsqu’il arrive éventuellement quelque chose, on n’y croit pas une seconde ! l’incrédulité demeure en effet constante et se mêle de temps à autre à un ridicule involontaire mais bien réel.

If this is your first foray into Middle Earth I cannot stress enough, start with the books (or audiobooks) and then the films, and skip this. This is just bad television. The show moves as slow as molasses, the script is incoherent and the characters of all poor reflections of themselves from Tolkien’s original works.

The show took names and locations from the Tolkien masterpiece and just rewrote lame and woke fan fiction instead of sticking to the spirit of Tolkien's work. That is not what people who respect the original author's work want!

Don't waste your time and watch House of the Dragon instead!… Expand

A true bastardization of the greatest fantasy ever written. It's pretty bad when most people's only praise are the scenery and visuals. Everything else is atrocious - acting, plot, dialogue - it's all flaming garbage. I wish I could unsee it,A true bastardization of the greatest fantasy ever written.

Woke movie, but not LotR... Why do these people have to destroy existing settings (Tolkien's universe), instead of making the own world

The show lacks creativity, depth and proper execution. The plot is filled with cliches and predictable twists, making it difficult to stay invested in the story. The characters are underdeveloped, with flat personalities and uninteresting motivations. The world-building is also unsatisfying, with poorly imagined settings and magic systems that lack logic.

Additionally, the special effects are subpar, detracting from the overall experience. The dialogue is often cheesy and stilted, making it difficult to take the characters or their struggles seriously. The pacing is slow, with extended scenes of filler content that do nothing to advance the plot. The show also fails to do justice to the source material, making it a poor adaptation.

In conclusion, "Rings of Power" is a subpar fantasy show that fails to live up to its potential. It fails to engage the audience, and leaves them feeling unsatisfied. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a well-crafted fantasy series.
It truly is a disgusting abomination that should be purged from existence. Tolkien would sue the writers of this show for this unfathomable disgrace.
Cancel it now!… Expand

If you’re looking for a Tolkien adaptation, this isn’t it. If you’re wanting to watch a subpar fantasy show that has terrible acting, a confusing plot but spectacular scenery. This is for you.

It should come as no surprise that the Galadriel in Amazon's Rings of Power has much more in common with Michael Burnham from Star Trek Discovery than with the original character in the books by JRR Tolkien. Amazon, in its wisdom, decidedIt should come as no surprise that the Galadriel in Amazon's Rings of Power has much more in common with Michael Burnham from Star Trek Discovery than with the original character in the books by JRR Tolkien. Amazon, in its wisdom, decided that it was only necessary to secure the rights to the appendices of The Lord of The Rings and hire a bunch of talentless woke hacks from Bad Robot/Secret Hideout in order to create a new work based on Tolkien's characters. The result, as one might expect, is the typical unwatchable garbage that these kinds of people consistently produce. Who is Rings of Power supposed to be for? It's too slow and boring for children, too inauthentic for Tolkien fans, and too stupid even for normies. There are no famous or highly-regarded actors, so how is it possible that they spent a billion dollars making this? The dialog is trite, the acting is terrible, the characters dull as dishwater, the plot and pacing are yawn inducing. The woke feminism and forced diversity sit uneasily in a setting in which they don't belong. The direction is uninspired and cheap, with dialog often delivered in close-up and fight scenes choppily edited to mask the lack of choreography and ability of the actors. The Rings of Power is just another defilement of popular culture by today's woke Hollywood. It deserves to fail, and fail hard.… Expand
