How would you rate LotR movies and shows?

[imkluu]

Small changes? They have condensed at least half of a 3000+ year age into one extended High Man generation.

I only recently realized the show apparently never got the rights to use the content from the Silmarillion (with some small specific exceptions).

That doesn't give me confidence for how they will change things to fit their weird mishmash of a timeline.

“It´s getting better with each episode” Yeah sure Screen Rant.

You missed the part when the Millennium Falcon swoops in.

[zoebaggins]

J.R.R. Tolkien did not write his books as a metaphor for the industrial industry nor did he write his books based on the atrocities of the wars he lived through. Though those comparisons have been drawn by many people, J.R.R. Tolkien himself very adamantly denied such comparisons. Though, I doubt this information matters much to anyone, considering that this new show doesn't actually follow any of J.R.R. Tolkien's actual

I need you to do a pitch meeting on Weird: The Al Yankovic story

[ramvander]

[lateo]

[jraelien]

I missed all of episode 3.
And 2.
And 1.
I was busy watching Peter Jackson's trilogy.

Okay, guys, it was ultimately NOT about the Americans' complicated view of "diversity" or lack thereof (lots of people outside the USA intensely dislike the new show also), people on both sides are using this as some kind of weird deflection from the MAIN POINT -- the entire prequel seems like a failed fan fiction effort, not something in the highly complex and immersive universe of Tolkien and Jackson, quite honestly. Those two gave us a timeless and glorious masterpiece, but this new failure of a show has tainted and ruined the entire franchise...

Elrond and Galadriel's actors were at best average, and that is being VERY generous to both of them, and failed to seem very likable or engaging from the beginning to the end. The elves seemed so plastic, superficial and one-dimensional, lacking in both genuine gravitas and otherworldly mysticism and poise, and I was not impressed by Galadriel's failed Arctic mission or that weird half-naked giant crash-landing in front of two bickering female Hobbits. Is this what was supposed to grip millions of people from around the world? Besides, if nine elves were nearly killed by a single troll, what the heck was Galadriel planning to do to Sauron even if she did "find" him? And how did that Elven king grant them access to Valinor at whim, I thought only the Valar had that authority?? ***Almost NOTHING about this show was okay, guys.*** o_O

[SAOrules]

I loved the part where Galadriel morbed and sucked theodens duck. Truly one of the scenes of all time.

[FatNorthernBigot]

...a decent plot? Good characters? A script? Where all the money went?
