Narrative
The epic drama thousands of years after J.R.R. takes place before its events. Tolkien 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' follows an ensemble of familiar and new characters as they confront the re-emergence of a long-dreaded evil in Middle-earth. "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" cast and several actors who completely transformed for their roles. Amazon’s original pitch to J.R.R. Tolkien 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' novels from the series as new adaptations of the latter (actually retellings of Gospodar prstenova: Prstenova družina (2001), Gospodar prstenova: Dvije kule (2002) and Gospodar prstenova: Povratak kralja (2003), but the Tolkien legacy rejected this proposal. Amazon eventually acquired the rights on the condition that the series be separate from Peter Jackson’s previous adaptations.
they could write their story
Early ideas that Tolkien had written included prequels featuring characters such as Aragorn, Gimli, and Gandalf. , but the showrunners focused on the important, untold events from the novels, rather than simple side stories, so they agreed with the studio that the series would take place during the Second Age of Tolkien. , “Unfinished Tales” and 'The Story of Middle-earth’ (which explore the first and second ages), checked the Lord of the Rings novels and appendices for parts and references to the second age. The estate and several Tolkien scholars (including his grandson) were consulted. and novelist Simon Tolkien) regarding the inclusion of new characters and plot elements. The synchronicities of several languages are mistakenly referred to as III. King Durin is listed as “Durin II”.
Tolkien “The Silmarillion”
The opening titles are a musical sequence of materials forming various shapes, which is the "Music of Ainur" creation myth J.R.R. Starring in The Critical Drinker: The Rings of Power – War For A Fandom (2022). Overall, a very meh series that doesn’t convince me at all. No character has developed enough to care about him. Now I lied a bit, honestly Adar is the most interesting character in S01 (the same actor who plays Benjen Stark in Got). The fact that the show hangs on the main character with a single facial expression doesn’t help matters. They spent absolutely zero time making the audience care and feel about the story and its characters.
It’s a strange and wrong sight
Everything feels stiff and dialogic and very wooden. In PJ’s LotR, Gandalf, Frodo, Aragon, Samwise, etc. much more interesting, authentic and human than this party. Fortunately, you have to see the Got Prequel series, which is much more lively than this mess. beautiful, but at the same time too beautiful. It seems a bit fake because everything is beautiful everywhere. It’s so unreal when nothing looks used, damaged, or gritty.
Which was also a huge disappointment
It’s as bad as Amazon’s fantasy series The Wheel of Time. RoP S01 1/10. Too bad this is called Lord of the Rings. Instead of ruining Lord of the Rings, they should have made their own fantasy series. See "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" in all their most iconic roles from Morfydd Clark in Saint Maud to Benjamin Walker in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and more.
