    Adaptations

    Good evening all, Just saw this article on Google News. https://www.cbr.com/christopher-tolkien-disliked-peter-jackson-lord-of-the-rings-movies/ Apparently Christopher Tolkien was not a fan of the Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy. I was not aware of this but perhaps I'm just out of the loop. Rings...

    How do we explain the disconnect in rotten tomatoes scores for RoP?

    So, 462 Rotten Tomatoes critics rate RoP at 85%, while 34742 members of the wider audience averaged 39%. What explains this disconnect? What criteria have critics used (or not used) that lead to such a disparate result? I did quickly scan the first 1000 audience comments and there were none...

    What 📔book(s) is the Rings of Power based on?

    The Guardian review of RoP, Season 1

    Ouch The world’s most expensive show – which looked like an episode of Hollyoaks, only with woeful acting – was so inept that every episode left you sniggering https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/oct/17/now-its-over-lets-come-out-and-say-it-the-rings-of-power-was-a-

    Why Watch 'Rings of Power'?

    You know, reading through the RoP threads, I made a list of the things people like about this show: - CGI - No, that's it, everyone hates it So, like, why are you guys even continuing to watch it? My reason is that discussing with people online and in real life, making theories and criticizing...

    Spoilers How would you conceptualize Rings of Power as a writer?

    Hello my friends :) Curios too see how would you conceptualize this series if you were hired as a main writer? Just like a rough sketch. I'd of course try to respect the lore, and here is my quick attempt: Season 1: Quick introduction to Valinor, First Age, and the battle when Morgoth is...

    My view and opinion on Rings of Power

    Pros: The armors is good looking and visually stunning landscape Cons: The actors and narrative feels like a MARVEL movie.

    Why Hollywood Butchers Tolkien

    Hoping to repeat Peter Jackson’s stunning success with Lord of the Rings, Amazon Prime will soon air the “Rings of Power” also derived from J.R.R. Tolkien. Whether Prime subscribers enjoy the series is yet to be seen, but Tolkien fans worldwide already greet it with cynical derision. And they...

    Rings of Power Stuff

    Since the debut came and went, no need for all the dates and stuff. I wrote this review up on another site (Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza) and thought I'd also present it here. Credit to Boromir88 for starting the review thread there with the catagories: Visuals/Special effects...

    The Rings of Power Has Five Seasons

    THOUGHTS? I don't like that they took it upon themselves to meddle in the actual storytelling... saying, "...every invention of ours was true to his essence," will only have bearing if they were true fans of the book who have more or less understood the mythology correctly. SOURCE...
