As a big Tolkien and Lotr fan i absolutely hate how im not even excited about this.....
I grew up with Tolkien's work, I loved the Lord of the rings trilogy and the hobbit was still very enjoyable. And to add, I am from the middle east. I don't really care about diversity, i just want likable characters.
This show..... I despise, the first half of the episode made me feel uncomfortable (Because it is not even close to the source materials.) and disappointed, I would have loved a series talking about the first and second age of middle earth but they aren't even close to telling the proper story.
I stopped watching because I was just THAT uninterested in it. That is a very hard feet to do as i generally watch through episodes before I make my opinion. In this case? It just made me unable to finish the episode and I doubt ill even finish the series.
I highly recommend anyone to actually read the books or just watch the 2 trilogies, as they are far better than the show both in story telling and visuals.
evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and destroy what is good
This show is a pleasure for the eyes and a pain for the mind.
Elves act, talk and behave as if they are high, drunk and extremely stupid at the same time.
With their budget it is beyond me why they didn't hire a great writer and storyteller, and a person who can create characters that viewers care about after 1 dialogue. Hollywood has several people like that.
Instead of taking Tolkien material, leave it as is and think how to improve on top of that, AMZN decided to just take the character names, world map and create some random BS script to show off CGI. Well... It's a trend. Wheel of Time did the same thing. Now I pray to all gods that if Hollywood finally will make a TV Show based on Raymond Feist novels - they will ask someone who knows what they're doing...
Yeah this kinda sucks. I found myself pretty bored most of the time. Shame really as I was really looking forward to it
Literally the only good thing about this show was the Creatures. One good fighting scene with the the big boy that was task with capturing Jade. Then right after that scene he dies lol other than those two things its boring and slow especially the teenage timeline jesus that was hard to get through, all the slamming doors, the talking back to parents, the siblings bs fights the flip flop flip flop on what each one wants to do at any given time. And the biggest gripe is the inconsistency with the infected and stupid discussions made by the writers.
Binged it in a day and i wish i had used that time on something else but once i start something i have to finish it. Its a blessing and in this case a curse
How terrible can a show and script get?
This show: Yes.
the ultimate nail in the coffin
