With more nuanced emotion, twistier plot turns, and goopy fantasy violence, Rings Of Power has a heart as big as its budget, pushing against the grain of the more popular and dour fantasy serials. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps New York Magazine/Vulture 08/29/2024
3/5
Rings hasn't yet cracked how to create episodes that work as self-contained installments but it's still a pretty compelling season premiere. Go to Full Review Samantha Nelson IGN Movies 10/03/2024
6/10
The plot of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is pulled in too many directions in the three-episode season 2 premiere, leaving the story and many of the characters feeling thin. Go to Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn No Es En Serie 09/10/2024
4/5
I particularly enjoyed Galadriel's scenes with Elrond, watching their friendship crumble, without her being able to fully admit that she was wrong about Halbrand. Full review in Spanish. Go to Full Review Chris Gallardo Tell-Tale TV 09/03/2024
3.5/5
The Season 2 premiere is turning things in the right direction. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 09/03/2024
We’re afraid these first three episodes don’t have the kind of forward movement and energy we were hoping to see, but we won’t be tapping out on the show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
