This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This sucks. Sorry for my English, but it boiled over. The question is that it is possible to create a new universe, any one, and introduce any modern agenda into it. But why try to do it with a classic, especially when it's contrary to lore. As a big fan of Tolkien, I can only say: Tolkien forgive us.… Expand

OK, it is not as it is portrayed here but it is still an abomination in terms of money spent, potential wasted and non-canonical approach. I will probably watch the rest but would not recommend it to anyone. I will watch it becouse I love cringe.

The haters gonna hate I guess. I was somewhat apprehensive myself at first. But the racist vitriol in some of the reviews! This is Tolkien in our firm for all humanity to enjoy. As Tolkien''s Saga goes: it is timeless, but adapted to be more inclusive. It does not bother me. We live in the present, not in 1950's Oxford. I only wish they would throw all that cash at an anthology series of The Silmarillion. That would be my dream show! Keep going Amazon!… Expand

That is not what people who respect the original author's work want!

They messed with the lore, that's a big no no. Tolkien's legacy must not be corrupted by an evil organization

I have enjoyed every minute of the show. Must see for all fantasy lovers ! I love the way races, main characters and places of middle earth are presented.

Only to use the diversity hiring as a false flag to distract from the actual issue, they want to put their own personal politics into Tolkien's work, one billion dollars and not a single household name, what a mess. Lastly, they've also already pushed away from established "facts" from the Simularían casually and often, and once again, making light of us as fans for caring so much. #NotMyMiddleEarth… Expand

Sacrificing Tolkiens beloved works on the altar of wokeness/diversity and inclusivity. Rings of power is literally the definition of appropriation.

Elves do not look like elves, Hobbits, oops ... Harfoots, run with weeds in their hair, dwarven women have no beards, and the protagonist cannot be liked, apart from the fact that she has nothing to do with Galadriel created by Tolkien. The timeline is as disturbed as the showrunners' vision, nothing is at play here. Plus, it's just boring ... CGI? Yes, they are incredibly polished, but this is not a world built to please the eye, but the mind, and this series is a punishment for it.… Expand

Tolkien did form the way we imagine all fantasy worlds. As for the show, it has a really great picture, sound and music. It may be inaccurate to the original lore but please remember that the show is based on original writings, not a word-by-word interpretation. With all that said, just enjoy the story and characters and skip these negative thoughts. It's a perfect reason to celebrate the Middle-earth and appreciate the work of Tolkien and all talented and hardworking people behind the show.

After all, it was possible to correctly insert black elves. You have already moved away from the canon, so just make dark elves or night elves, but these are light elves and their appearance is very accurately described. Among other things, the dialogues are terribly stupid, the graphics are not convincing.

20 years ago, Peter Jackson managed to make a masterpiece in terms of convincing graphics, dialogues, stories and characters that are interesting to watch.

As a result, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is just an attempt to make money on the screen adaptation of an excellent book work, and along the way to cram in all the current agendas. Unfortunately, this was done clumsily, and that's why such a result.… Expand
