The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
With the Hype, I wanted so much more.
I loved the original trilogy. I wanted to love this show as well. However, if we take out the amazing visuals or diverse cast of new and old characters, this movie is a major misfire. The dialogue is some of the worst I have seen in recent TV shows. The show is honestly boring and I have no clue why given the deep source material to work with. Also, the "re-imaging" of characters does no justice to the author who spent such effort molding them into who they are. JRR shaped his fantasy world to tell his stories. They do not always match up to reality because this is a fantasy show for a reason. It is truly sad that one of the greatest fantasy stories is reduced to such divisive and uninspiring argumentation. Gave it a chance. Sadly, not all fantasy should match the real world.
