Yeah I agree. People have already made up their minds about this show on both sides. I will say GOPtiger seemed like he gave a honest review. Not sure why they premiered this on the opening night of college football. Will try to watch tomorrow

and I appreciate that. But it was for 2 episodes.

I wait until after the season for stuff like this, so I can get a proper review.

I did the same thing with Titans, too.

I haven’t made up my mind. The visuals are pretty stunning so far, kinda a slow first episode but it is building.

John campea hated the first episode because he said it was so slow in review. He said he almost walked out of theater. I was surprised to hear that from him

Same. This is what I'm doing with MCU projects moving forward also.

I thought Episode 1 was slow too. I hope people watch Episode 2, instead of giving up after Episode 1. There's a lot more interesting stuff happening in Episode 2, in my opinion.

Not sure why, but it looks like The Hobbit more than the Lord of the Rings movies.

Just from a visual standpoint


Because they're both filled with CGI shite shows, and the original films were not. They made significant use of scaled models and practical effects.

But Elrond being straight is pretty fricking important to the plot.

That may be it. Like the hobbit, everything looks like it has a hint of a cartoon in it.

There are parts that look better than others, but none of it feels like LOTR or Tolkein.

If anything, it feels much more like The Dark Crystal Netflix show than anything else.

The Elves are the biggest frick up by the show. The hair alone is abominable.

What the fricking fuk is this:




The casting is also so bad. Elrond is beyond terrible and Galadriel is just simply a slap in tbe face to everything Tolkein dedicated his life to.

We enjoyed the first episode. Yeah, the elves look weird, but the acting, scenery, story, and music all seem pretty good so far.

Just watched the first episode and am very excited about this series. First episode was definitely a set-up episode, but I think this could end up being quality tv - Amazon did a great job producing this

I’m sold so far.

Top Gun 2 taught us not to accept mediocrity and I feel like majority will just accept it if it’s not bad.

Ok. It sucks as LOtR, which it’s not.

So far is just boring. All the usual stuff from Hollywood today. OP women fighting like men, etc.

Hobo Wizard and female Frodo is really boring.

Not impressed
