The Rings Of Power. Wait, come back! It has the Tolkien seal of approval!

[Scott Taylor]

So far, the series is getting very, very, VERY good reviews.

In fact, I'm hearing words like "masterpiece" being used to describe it.

Since it cost a billion dollars or something, it should be a masterpiece.

Very encouraging news! I'd already decided to watch the whole thing no matter what. They could have shown orcs running around in bikinis and elves sitting in trees making Keebler cookies and I still would have watched it, though.

It uses no real material from the Silmarillion, it's based on the appendix from the Return of the King

From what I understand is that they only have the rights from what is in the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings so they went with the appendix and try and create an completely new story in the Tolkien world.

[Tofali]

Even if it’s crap I’m still going to watch it because I have already re-watched both trilogies.

[Madam-Shogun-Assassin]

It looks really good. The money looks well spent at least.

Access shill media. Make up your own mind.

I watched the premiere yesterday in Leicester Square. I have to say I liked it more than I thought I would!

That is good to know. I plan on watching the series with an open mind ignoring all the hatred and backlash that people are trying to bring on the series.

Access media shill seem to be working over time for another show called Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Ring of Power, I expect a more neutral and honest reception.

I had big expectations for GoT HotD and low expectations for LOTS RoP but up to this point - and it's still early, of course - I've enjoyed LotR more than GoT.

I enjoy LOTR more than GOT also. GOT quality faded and the world building pales to LOTR.

Edit: nevermind, the problem fixed itself.

This is what I want to see as well. Other than a few "facts" about the Witch King of Angmar and Khamûl the Easterling, the Nazgul are a complete mystery.

Except that they all got their butts kicked, or rather ran in terror from Glorfindel, who did the Gandalf thing with a Balrog long before and seems to have been at the council of the Ring.

You....you...willingly watched The Hobbit trilogy more than once? That must have been painful.

[Anthony W]

This isn't a bad show but I am really struggling to make it through this.

O we are still doing that thing were we say The Hobbit trilogy is bad just because it's not LOTR? I thought that died out with the starwars PT bashing.

Anyway this show is great at least the first 2 episode s.

I found Galadriel a little annoying at first but she grew on me. First 2 eps were pretty good. Good acting, well paced, well crafted liked this more than GOT dragons.
