Wow, that was that the prologue? It's the one thing I said I would would watch, but that was it? A reminder of the Lord of the Rings epic prologue and one of the most memorable beginnings to a movie ever: YouTube

But I guess a baby Galadriel having her paper boat sunk in Valinor is something to address and of primary importance, something that never happened as far as I'm aware in the books. That's the first thing they show us? It was cool seeing the Two Trees, but that was all they showed?

And they don't even show Feanor in the Oath of Feanor, and it's anticlimatic as all frick. I mean, when reading the Silmarillion, it's difficult to image Feanor and his sons not being surrounded by fire. Feanor and his sons were supposed to be completely erratic during this to point the point of slaying their own kin. But that's what we got.

Oh we just headed over to Middle Earth and that's it? And then it's like "yeah we had a few battles." That's really it? I honestly thought they'd at least make the prologue say 20 minutes since I think they needed to cover a lot of ground with the Trees and the Silmarils.

This is below my wildest expectations. They spend three minutes in the prologue focusing on Galadriel's paper ship, with Findrod talking about it I guess. My God, won't watch another second on Amazon's dime, but they fricked up the Prologue. It's all downhill from here.
