Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/07/2024
2/5
Overflowing with noisy CGI battle sequences but lacking a deeper understanding of Tolkien’s Middle-earth, the finale of series two of this $1 billion Amazon folly is an affront to Tolkien fans and a dreary hour of television. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps New York Magazine/Vulture 10/03/2024
3/5
The season dispersed action all across Middle-earth and it quickly became clear that some parts of the continent are more compelling than others. Go to Full Review Matt Schimkowitz AV Club 10/03/2024
B
Where the show excels is in its characters and performances, which have proven more complicated and fascinating as the series continues. Go to Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs 10/05/2024
3.3/5
Until the series manages to do that, despite providing one hell of an arc for one section of its story this season, Rings of Power is never going to be able to reach the heights it could. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 10/04/2024
Its faithfulness to the legendarium is less important than its ability to tell a story. We found improvement in both areas and we’re looking forward to season three, whenever it may come. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 10/04/2024
3.5/5
An end to the season that, although terrific, is somewhat sloppier in its execution than in its development. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
