The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Episode 3 - Review

Same here, he looks regal and strong in heart. Isuldur ? Not sure yet. Sauron - I dig him, I see lots of foreshadowing in his scenes. It's him, I'm sure (guy who was with Galadriel on boat)

[@TerencePetersenAjbro]

Judging by their handling of The Wheel of Time, none of this surprises me. Currently rewatching The Expanse, the only reason I have Prime.

The Expanse is so good! The writing and acting are excellent, and the diversity is organic, not ham-handed like in this shite.

To clarify, it's not Gandalf, its a blue wizard. So either Alatar or Palando. As someone who played the MECCG a lot, it's exciting to see them.

[@martin8363]

How is he not Gandalf man he looks exactly the same and is creating a bond with the hobbits. Also the guy Galadriel was captured with is probably Saruman, so the parties are slowly beginning to show

[@lockekappa500]

@@martin8363 You do realize this is almost 5000 years before the lord of the rings trilogy, Gandalf has not walked the lands of Middle Earth yet, he wont for another 2000+ years. Which is also why Galadriel is one of the main characters, because she's one of only a few individuals who could live throughout the entirety of this story.

To be honest, this is miles above GOT and House of the Dragon in terms of effects and CGI. And the Hobbit too, since they are using a lot more practical effects

If they had good writers that could do a great adaptation the visuals would be secondary but visuals is pretty much all they have.

I've carried great shame having not completed the original LOTR trilogy. Started watching them this week and having a blast. Halfway through Return of the King now. Everyone's great but I'm in complete awe of Sir Ian McKellen's fantastic performance. He makes perfection seem so effortless.

[@kidpeligro7878]

It often gets thrown around that the series is "beautiful to watch" because of the CGI esp. locations. But I honestly can't put premium at that alone considering I saw renderings in Unreal Engine 5 and think its not that very exceptional. I wholly agree with the writing, the incompetence is showing. I can't remember a movie or a series where the writers are able to (unintentionally) portray the MAIN CHARACTER as the most unlikeable, obnoxious and irritating part of the show (you all know whose the character I am referring) LOL

This is a great nuanced review. I would give this a 5 if it were a generic fantasy work, but has a tolkien adaptation is a 2. They have really put little to no effort in matching the lore and some of the things they change make no sense nor do they contribute to improve the series.

[@leostarrs-cunningham8576]

The best I can say about this episode is that I thought it was better than the first episode.

[@lockekappa500]

Agreed. Numenorian people's are actually impressive, and their city is believable and well realized. And they LOOK the way you think a Numenor would look, not a hodge podge of races to check boxes, but actual darker skinned people who look like they made a living sailing.

[@syffaratta494]

yes but lotr1 its one unique main travel for all people here not, take it or not

[@Smhallways]

I disagree with the dialogue rant, that of being bland and written by a toddler. It is fine. What is the difference in this compared to Sam's and Frodo's boring cringefest everytime they talk to each other. It is that it doesn't have "written by Tolkien" moniker and that's it. If you didn't know who was the author and you watched Peter Jacksons movies, you would laugh and puke everytime Sam nad Frodo were on the screen. With that prolonged constipated eye contact scenes of -you are my friend, -no you are my friend, -no you that would make you roll your eyes if it was done anywhere else. But since it is Tolkine then it is ok because we grew up with it.

[@lockekappa500]

I dont necessarily share your disdain for the hobbits dialogue in LotR, as there was much more to those movies than their dialogue, but I DO agree with the fact that the dialogue in this show is not nearly as bad as he's making it out to be. I think it does a good job of skirting the line of old english mannerisms and keeping it a bit more modernized. I wish maybe he would state specific incidents so I could go back and listen to them to see if I agree. But written by a toddler? I dunno, something seems a bit too harsh and excessive for what I watched. I think he has to realize this is a lighter tv show, and won't have the grit of the dialogue that something like GoT had. Plus I know James enjoys depravity and harsh language in his shows, so I can imagine the family friendly nature of this show isn't doing much for him.

[@sheriffdraws8789]

Exactly 💯 If those movies came out today, people would have taken a huge dump on them smh

[@bz6046]

You think the sea is always right is great writing? Galadriel's dialogue is bad especially telling Numenor basically do you know who I am bow to me.

[@AndréVilaFranca]

[@CATAZTR0PHE]

Not now, not in cultural war/woke era. It would be as bad as RoP.

[@drawnhere]

The scripts are simply not right enough. Very worrisome. Also, that warg looked very fake for the amount of money they're spending on each episode. Meanwhile, the island of Numenor was realized beautifully.

[@sexydirrtymoney]

[@malestorm234]

God, you all just slay me. This was an amazing episode it laid out more of the overall plot and added to the characterizations. I fear group think is playing out negatively regarding this show. This episode went dark and increased the stacks in this series. It is amazing seeing these glorious kingdoms in the high of their power instead of dying off. And we see Numenor as an Island kingdom. I wasn't expecting that. If your bored, go to sleep and watch this show while rested. This episode was filled with action and story.

[@hugofernandes2930]

Yeah I mean I get it why some found it boring but about the quality of the show it’s a worst case of scenarios an average show with good production quality . I think it’s cool to hate this in the internet , most people don’t even agree on what’s bad about this show . So far I like it episode 2 and 3 were nice , my only gripe in this episode was the slow motion scene with Galadriel riding that horse

[@malestorm234]

@@hugofernandes2930 That first shot with her smiling was badly done. I actually don’t think it’s an average show. It’s episode three of a story designed to go five years. And I’m over these excitement junkies crying slow or boring when not every other scene doesn’t involve a fight, chase, or explosion. This episode had as much character development as Dance of Dragons, with huge story advancements. All of the negative complaining about ethnicity and not following the Tolkien lore has set a bad tone that it’s unfair that a new show has to deal with.

[@ahmorgan]

@@malestorm234 That's objectively false, if you take our main two characters for example. Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon and Galadriel, nothing has happened with Galadriel in 3 episodes. Rhaenyra is shown to be a dragon rider, intelligent, independent, but disregarded..she's aware of her station as a woman but when she's chosen as heir she is willing to take on the responsibility. Her mother dies, her little brother dies, her father remarries her close friend, she stops a squabble with her uncle, kills a boar, has multiple marriage proposals. Galadriel is chasing evil...she met a guy on a ship...pissed some people off in Numenor. That is all. You can not compare to the two unless you aren't paying attention

[@lockekappa500]

@@ahmorgan I haven't seen HoD yet, but you're being a bit disingenuous about what Galadriel has gone through. (I preface this with her probably being my least favorite character, so I'm not simping for her, trust me.) With that said, she did lose her brother and had to watch all her people die in front of her, hence why she takes up his sword, her brother being the main driving force behind just about everything she's doing. Then effectively she becomes a war ridden soldier, who has PTSD and can't put her sword down even when the war has ended. (There's definitely a metaphor behind her sword and a soldiers rifle somewhere in there) She's then "sent home" without any real acknowledgement of how she feels, or how she will acclimate to normal life while still feeling the unrest of battle in herself. So to clarify, I love the SETUP for Galadriel. I just think they execute it terribly. I think the actress doesnt exude any of the war hardened power that she should. She should be regal and powerful, not rich and whiney, and there's a softness to her actress (both physically and in presence) that just doesnt fit the commander of an army, and one of the most feared and imposing females in all of fantasy writing.

[@ahmorgan]

@@lockekappa500 you're projecting something far more powerful onto the screen. What we see is her brother in some battle, he dies off camera, we had literally one scene of them together when she was a child. We get a little info about the elves going to middle earth. Then we see her leading her troupe they basically mutiny against her, and every person she comes across doesn't like her. Hell why should the audience like her when it seems no one does. The relationship with her brother is so superficial it's hard to see why she cares so much. Compare that to Durin and Elrond's relationship you and you can see the hurt in Durin when he's telling his friend how he's missed his entire life. Then Elrond realizes his mistake, and apologizes and wants to apologize to the family. That had more heart than anything with Galadriel so far.

[@nsob8897]

I'm constantly hacking away at the Peter Jackson lotr films because of the wrong wording of lines in some parts or the giving of lines from one character to another character. And I really like those films! What kills me about the lord of the rings films is the line "..smote his ruin on the mountainside". That's not a thing. The line is "he broke the mountainside where he smote it in his ruin". That makes sense and I don't get why Ian McKellan didn't catch that...he had to stop and say "wait...what?! I'm not reading that!" Anyway back to the current show. I will not be suckered into something like this new tripe that clearly has no good writing. Will you people just stop playing this dumbass game with "fixing" everything that people who lived before you did?! Nobody is going to change for you, nor should they. Grow up children we've all been where you are..we didn't stop behaving like that because we weren't brave enough to take it to its logical conclusion. We realized how naive and short sighted that view of the world truly is and grew up.

[@Del_Scorcho]

James, you're losing me a bit. Others really seem to be resonating with you here but like you, I'm a Tolkien fan and feel like we're experiencing different shows. While I will agree that the writing could be better and it's not up to par with LOTR movies, I ended the episode really loving the overall experience. Bummer you're not liking it.

Amazon does not, and in a real sense, should not, care about whether TRoP is good or bad or creatively successful. The creators might care about such matters, but all Amazon management wants to know is, will this get a lot of viewings, will it sustain the audience, and-most critically-will it result in new or reactivated Prime subscriptions, which as near as I can fathom, is the only form of revenue (besides product licenses) it can bring in. They will not re-evaluate the series until it has completed its run, of course, and it would take a major commercial failure for them to change course.

Man, I went into this series with an open mind. Hoping it would be good. But it is just so boring... like a great review wrote, it's too unclear what is at stake, who to root for etc. Also, there's so much shameless copying from Peter Jackson moments, but without the depth of story development or context. The Harfoots leader's speech make a Bilbo kind of joke. Or the elf that escaped the pit that gets shot down by arrows has a Boromir call-back... but without the gravitas of a well written character. (maybe an AI algorithm wrote the dialogue?) The Harfoots are just a joke and take way too much screen time so far, it's almost Tolkien being Disneyfied. Speaking of which: my bet is that Disney's upcoming Willow series will be more enjoyable than this.

Other than money, which I'm not saying as a bad thing since it's a fact, they need to make money out of it of course. But all of it just feels going through the motion of a story without a real driving force or intent behind it. Even the music, which is fine and not terrible by any means, just doesn't elicit any emotion out of me so far. For sure I'm going to continue watching this season, and I really hope that when it's all said and done, we will have a much more focused and understanding of what this show is all about. I will say that I really enjoyed the Khazad-dûm scenes in the second episode, so there's hope in my opinion.

You know it's ok for people not to like something right? Not everyone is going to think like you. You can disagree with someone and still have an engaging conversation. You can't tell me you agree with everything your family and friends agree with correct? If you agree with everyone all the time you are really not being real with yourself.
