GeneticBlueprint Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Indeed the production value actually looks pretty great. The acting seems pretty solid too at a minimum. But that generic Marvel soundtrack in the background makes me want to puke considering the LOTR films have some of the greatest film scores ever penned and performed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 This is assumedly the story of the forging of the rings of power? God I can’t wait to fully reimmerse myself in Tolkien’s world and lore again. Been away from it too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I adore the LotR movies, The Hobbit trilogy remains a pit of disappoint I cannot crawl out of. This trailer, while very well produced, does absolutely nothing for me. It’s not like I think it’s bad, I just cannot bring myself to be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 No matter how good this is, I’ll never be able to fully appreciate it because the whole time I’ll be thinking “was this really worth half a billion dollars” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think it's at least plausible this will be good. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new trailer was pretty good. Most of the people who trash talk the series online are closeted racists who are complaining that having people of color rUiNs thE LoRe. The set designs all look great, the music sounds great, the effects look great... there isn't really much else to go on right now. I do think there is some concern that they're just going to turn it into a generic milquetoast fantasy series. But I'm not going to assume that yet. The fact that they haven't even hinted at Celeborn even being in the show at all as of yet leaves me a little worried that they're going to have some pulpy romance subplot with Galadriel and Celeborn in a later season, which is dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I remember being pretty underwhelmed for the first few trailers I saw and was purposefully not paying much attention to this... but this new trailer looks pretty great and hey, this comes out in like 2 weeks. I'll be there for sure. I'm guessing this will be week-to-week and not a total episode dump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 lmao, with all the impressions starting to come out I thought it was already available so last night I went to watch it and didn't realize until like a minute in that I was just watching the latest trailer and not an opening sequence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I've been listening to the soundtrack and I love it. I actually prefer McCreary's motifs in this more than Shore's main theme. The standout track to me is In The Beginning, which showcases a bunch of the different stuff from the album (elves, dwarves, sauron, etc).

I've heard that potential criticism before. My hesitation is based on nothing in particular with this series, just the general tendency of movies/series to rarely be as good as the books upon which they're based. I just saw an article that said Amazon has spent $465 million on the first season alone though, so it seems like they should at least have the resources they need. I'm OK with them taking some creative liberties, of course. The Silmarillion, which is the book that most closely deals with the events of the Second Age, is just over 360 pages, and it largely provides storytelling in only broad strokes. I just hope we don't get too much of the "let's appeal to kids with a shit-covered wizard" nonsense from the Hobbit movies... I know Jackson isn't involved, but.... that was heartbreaking for a nerd like me. Also, I wonder if we may finally get a film version of Tom Bombadil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
