On one hand, I can sympathize with my fellow Tolkienites in griping about canonical issues afoot in The Rings of Power, but let's be hones, people… this series was spectacular. Believable characters, great acting, excellent production, inspiring cinematography. I'm a hardcore Tolkien fan. I've been to Oxford for almost every Tolkien conference, and I was not in the least put off by the "modifications" to the story. Tolkien didn't even take his work as serious as fans do. The reality is, as a series, in terms of production quality, the first season has been a success — plain and simple — and a special shoutout to Bear McCreary for an amazing soundtrack. Worth adding to your library.

The problem with this show is that the only good it has is scenes that last a few seconds (flashbacks) and a character that doesn't exist in the source material (Arondir). The rest is a big "meh" that wants to be real hard to be epic, but fails completely. If that ship doesn't correct its course with a second season it will sink and would have been a spectacular waste of money (which, of course, will try to be saved by increasing prices or introducing ads)
-
You can tell right from the intro to each episode that Amazon wanted to tell the audience ‘look at how much money we put into this' - alas, despite that, I would describe this entire series as cringy. The plot is inconsistent with LotR lore, the casting choices feel strange, and scene after scene is hard to even watch and will make you uncomfortable with how cringy the show is. I watched the season out of the loyalty I have to the franchise in general but honestly, this is a terrible TV show which isn't worth your time.
-
Being one of the most anticipated television series of the past decade, The Rings of Power was practically set up to fail in the eyes Tolkien and Peter Jackson superfans. While flawed, the story of Galadriel and Elrond alone make this series a worthy addition to the mythos. Hopefully it can improve upon its foundation in its follow-up season, but it is nowhere near as bad as most people claim it to be.

Fake. This is categorically NOT Lord of the Rings. Never forget that Amazon PAID actors to pretend to be fans of LoTR, and rave about it for their fake "super-fan" promo, then hid the promo on YouTube when people found the actors - who admitted they didn't read or watch LoTR - as well as outtakes of the actors saying their "super-fan" lines. The ENTIRE thing is FAKE, from beginning to end. Yet another deliberate vandalization of a formerly beloved franchise. Created entirely to fulfill intersectional, woke optics with no regard for the story or the lore. It violates all LoTR canon but the creators just don't care. They literally don't care. They'd rather scream at the fans who do care about LoTR far more than the writers do, and call them bigots for not subjecting themselves to their trash. Contains all the worst intersectional girlboss, race-swapping, man-hating, character-subverting tropes, while being incoherent and nonsensical. It's an open secret that this is a complete bomb, and an audience and money-loser for Amazon. They have to make/finish season 2 because it was already in production when season 1 was released, but it won't go beyond that, even though they're contracted for five seasons. They'll find a way to bury it and make it go away. The only way to salvage it is to cancel the show and start a new one with a whole new team. One that DOESN'T actively HATE the fans and the entire franchise.

I quit watching it on episode 6, what a failure...
-
If Tolkiens work was great at anything, it was building a plausible World. This show destroys it within the first minutes of the first Episode.

It was horrible. The main character is incredibly unlikable and antagonistic, the discount Hobbits are mindnumbingly dumb, the plot is full of contradictions, nothing makes sense within the context of Tolkien established canon. It tries to be Peter Jackson's LOTR, but it's obviously, painfully not. The entire thing represents no love or respect for the source material or the fans. Literally the only character worth rooting for is (a very obvious) Sauron. And there's only about 1 actor with real range and talent in the entire show, and that's the guy who plays Durin. Literally the only time I didn't feel complete apathy while watching this movie, was when he was on screen. His relationship with Elrond is genuinely nice and watchable. But - again - it's literally the only part of the entire first season. Shame on this.
-
First I thought it would be boring because Lord of the rings movie series and Hobbit movie series were better than this series before watching. But after watching , I changed my perception. Actually it's an amazing and worth watching series. And it's my personal favorite series. In this series, I came to know who created Elvis Rings of Power, how the Mordor was made, how Mithril was created and who was the true Dark Lord before Sauron. And I also gotta know about the mother of Hobbit or Harfoot Bilbo Baggins i.e. Noir. It's an amazing and mind blowing series. And I can't wait for season 2. We want season 2.
-
Other than great visual effects I have nothing else good to say. Stinky rotten mess. I can't believe how badly they tore the beloved Tolkien legacy and puked all over it with the sort of politics and crap that are not in his works. What messed up mind decided that this script was worth the name of Lord of The Rings, the Bard must be rolling in his grave at this insult.
