The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Official Trailer | Prime Video

Watch the Official Trailer for #TheRingsOfPower now. Join us in Middle-earth on September 2.

Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

Nothing screams Tolkien like modern music. 10/10

[maxifink]

Many people don't know that when Galadriel spins her sword at 2:26 it's actually a reference to J.R.R. Tolkien spinning in his grave. That's what I call a masterclass in Cinematography.

[jamaicafox]

This comment section has single-handedly restored my faith in humanity.

[nonamenvy]

There are two things time can't heal: A stab from a Morgul blade and the mental damage from watching Rings of Power

[King_JappyJoe]

The scene were Gimli looked into Gandalfs eyes and lovingly said "Luke, I am your father" made me cry my eyes out.

It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights were granted to Jackson, great miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop. And into this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.

EDIT:
This comment really blew up! Now wish I had listened to the original audio before writing, as there are a few bits missing.

Hence, I went back and improved (in my view) upon the original. Matching it closer to the text (number or total syllables etc).

* * * *

I amar prestar aen.
The world is changed.

Han mathon ne nen.
I feel it in the writing.

Han mathon ne chae.
I feel it in the dearth.

A han noston ned wilith.
I smell it in despair.

Much that once was, is lost. Though most still live and remember it.

It began with the forging of the great films. Threads were given by the Tolkiens. Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Rights passed to Jackson, great miner, and craftsman of the mountain of lore. And nine, nine hours were gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire value. For within these films was bound the style and worth to guide the fanbase.

But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a master flop, to destroy all culture. And into this show he poured his cupidity, his money, and his will to dominate all film. One show to ruin them all.

[natashachipangulakangwa]

Everything is different, the music, the conversations, the accents, even the vocabulary, the loudness of the show there is this level of calmness and peace in the lord of the rings that isn't found here.

[gyhcpih]

At the moment when Galadriel says "You're a wizard, Gandalf" I almost cried. Such a beauty

[Daviddanielstoday]

You know the writers weren't paying attention when they made the sailors say the sea is always right and then the top sailor said his wife drowned

[el_chico]

this series did a great job at uniting the fandom of lotr against it

[PJF]

This is the best explanation of why YT no longer shows how many dislikes there are.

[Samaru]

"Without it [sword], what am I to be?" Did they seriously write Galadriel, one of the oldest beings in Middle Earth who witnessed the light of the two trees, as having her identity tied to her weapon and life as a warrior?

[Blueboy]

For anyone wondering: this video now has 78k likes and 4.2 million dislikes.

[naders]

The lord of the rings gave me goose bumps in so many scenes in each movie. The emotions were really high. But the rings of power didn't give me that feeling once

[mvh]

"I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold
And leaves of gold there grew
Of wind I sang, a wind there came
And in the branches blew
But if of ships I now should sing,
What ship would come to me?
What ship would bear me ever back
Across so wide a sea?"
-Galadriel in LotR

"My brother gave his life hunting the enemy. His task is now mine" *Picks up dagger*
-Galadriel in RoP

It's as if these were two entirely different characters

[idiotrepubliken]

After watching RoP I'm starting to understand Saurons desire to destroy middle earth.

[UndeadBard]

Me: “I wish this series never came out.” *crying*

Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide, all they can do is decide what to do with the time that is given to them.”

Me: *Re-watches Peter Jackson’s movies and re-reads books*

[wbihqvf]

One trilogy to win them all
One trilogy to cash them
One show to lose them all
And into the nostalgia bind them

[saymyname]

I love Lord of the Rings, and it never entered my mind to watch a minute of this show.

[ruedigerkeinekapriolen]

I'd say we've solved the problem of renewable energy, as fast as Tolkien is spinning in his grave right now we can certainly use him as an electricity generator for the whole world...
