Looks like they changed a lot of things but oh my goodness, Avatar Kyoshi was amazing!
Suki was perfect btw, I loved the way she looked and carried herself in costume and make-up.
Bending looks so fucking cool!
Gotta admit, the attack on the Southern Air Temple was heart-wrenching to watch.
"I came here because I love seeing wasteful souls struggle to accomplish something meaningful and fail spectacularly."
This was a good ending for the main trio but not for the others, particularly Isaac and Lenore, which was disappointing.
Looks like Isaac's still the most interesting character in this show, followed by Alucard. The rest is just meh.
A great litmus test regardless of its quality as a TV show. Nobody would bat an eye if the lead was a man who wanted to find himself and divorced his wife but switch the gender and watch people freak out lol. Fuck your hypocrisy.
Decent enough parody of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.
The first two seasons were great. And that's how this show should have ended.
Pointless subplots, overused clichés, drawn-out scenes, soppy dialogues, irrational decisions, stupid motivations... How did it come to this? How did it come to such awful, lazy, uninspired writing? This season was so bad it's a fucking insult to the audience.
Drawn-out scenes, soppy dialogues, power of love bullshit, and a fucking cliffhanger as cherry on top. A garbage finale for a garbage season.
This was so much fun!
A well made film that accurately portrays the cold reality of being an artist.
No idea what this film was trying to convey, it just felt so hollow and drawn-out.
Finally got around to watching this and yes, it's better than Murder on the Orient Express, lol.
This is one of my favourite stories by Christie so I was understandably wary of this film but they did good imo. First and foremost, such beautiful cinematography! Composition, framing, lighting - it's just chef's kiss. Script and dialogue were fine too, though acting could have been better. And I don't think Gal Gadot was a good choice for that role.
The story itself hit me differently this time, which was unexpected to say the least. I'd rather not go into detail here for spoilery reasons but that's probably because my perspective on life and death has changed a lot since I read the book years ago.
This is hilarious lol, I'm hooked already!
The visual beauty of this show is breathtaking. I really liked "The Song of the Roots of Hithaeglir" btw, it perfectly illustrates how myths and legends work on a meta level. Can't wait for the next episode, looks like shit will hit the fan in the Southlands.
Oh god, they are still acting stupid lol. This wasn't as good as the previous episode but we got some more action at least. I love watching Eleven blowing shit up.
Dustin spoke my mind lol, they were really that stupid.
A huge step up from the previous episodes. Pacing was much better, we learned some new stuff (that twist was great), and got lots of action. Hope the last two episodes will be up to par with this one.
And man, I love Jamie Campbell Bower's voice, the way he speaks is mesmerising.
Things are moving along nicely. Editing was a bit weird in a few places, though. And what's up with this director and his love of slow-mo sequences lol.
Wtf is this writing, terrible and straight up lazy.
Why does it have to be the lake? Just go to another murder scene. And why the do they want to find the gate in the first place? What are they going to do without Eleven? These kids have done this before, they know what they're against but they act like clueless idiots.
Eleven's memory. We've seen it in the first episode. And now we're going through it again. Why? No idea. I thought maybe it's not what it seems, maybe it was someone else or some strange shit happened. But no, looks like they're playing it straight and telling us what we already knew.
Oh and we got another cheap comedy gag at Suzie's.
This show is running out of goodwill fast. What a shame.
My goodness, writing is awful. Russian plotline, Eleven's memory stuff - oh look, papa is back now, comedy hour at Suzie's... And how the fuck do the cops let Jason speak at all?
Still going strong. Númenor was absolutely stunning and Elendil totally stole this episode for me. Slow-mo horse riding sequence could have been done a bit more tastefully, though.
From directing and cinematography to script and acting, it's a masterfully crafted film. And it hit too close to home.
An underwhelming start to the season.
This series has lost its charm and novelty that made it a success and should have ended after Season 2. There's not much else to do now which I suspect is why they amped up the horror factor this season.
The first half was great. The second half... I don't even know what that was.
This is classic Moffat though, with his shocking revelations, seemingly profound yet cringy one liners, underdeveloped characters with nonsensical motivations... the list goes on. He ruined Doctor Who with his massive ego and is the only reason why I'll never watch Sherlock. Someone's gotta tell him it's time to retire now.
Everything I said for the first episode goes for this one as well. Directing and cinematography remain excellent. Pacing is better. I'm curious to see how the different storylines will unfold.
I'm a huge fan of anyting and everything related to Middle Earth. I also work in media and understand that text and screen are different mediums so I judge The Rings of Power as it is: a television series.
They clearly put a lot of time, effort, and thought into this, especially in the pre-production phase. That's particularly evident in directing and cinematography. There are many creative and well-crafted scenes and sequences throughout. Use of colour and lighting is also top notch. Pacing/editing may seem fast but that's understandable since they have to establish many different characters and storylines within limited time. Dialogues and humour worked for me. Speech patterns are distinctive enough and I found them fitting for their respective races.
On a more personal note, it does feel amazing to go back to Middle Earth after all this time.
Fun to watch. And I love Margot Robbie.
Too cloying with all that "one true love" and "soul mate" bullshit but an entertaining watch nonetheless.
