Fantina 3,270 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 For those that have seen it: Spoiler -I loved the way they built up the orcs (showing their face right at the end of the 2nd episode). Gave me old slasher vibes. I just hope they feature more orcs. I love the campiness and the gore -The whole bit in Khazad-Dum was my favorite. Funny interactions and great visuals. -Galadriel queen swimming in the ocean. OTHER ELVES WISH THEY WERE HER!!! Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams.

I just didn't like that the first orc we see is not a typical orc but more of a mole-orc. It was almost comical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

En_Sabah_Nur 9,356 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It was Great! Been a HUGE fan of LOTR since I was a little boy watching the animated LOTR films!!! 😇 It does seem like a lot of the fans HATE this show though. For completely deviating from the books, and for being too "woke"! 🤷🏾♂️ They are eviscerating it on Twitter & apparently it’s audience ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes is low because of it - Smh Egypt.

Fantina 3,270 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Anyone still watching it?? I am really enjoying it thus far. I didn't expect to! The scenery in the last (4th) episode was spectacular and I love how the story is slowly picking up! Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams.

LastNight 5,678 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I’m still watching! I think it’s awesome, love all the different stories and I’m enjoying speculating how and when (and if) they’ll tie together. I love diving in more to the history of this world, it’s so fun to see it being explored on screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eido 3,633 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 People, do not get attached to some of the not-elf cast. Just sayin The show will be spread out through several centuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife 6,606 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'm enjoying the show, but the pacing seems kind of slow. The people that take issue with this show having a diverse cast can kick rocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Puppies 35,578 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I'm on ep 3 and... it's really well made visually but the story is a bit dull until now... like I want something to happen I feel like they focused too much on the visuals and less so on the story and characters. BUT before I fully judge I will watch the whole thing and then have an opinion. THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer 12,044 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Episode 6 is FIRE! It was tight, fast-paced, and focused. The visuals especially in the last scenes are AMAZING. Love how all the build up is now starting to pay off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantina 3,270 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 After watching the whole season: I give it a 6/10. It's good but there are some things that I do not particularly like. I expected a bit more than 8 episodes where half of them feel very slow. I felt like the momentum that was built in episode 6 kind of lost its way cause the season was so short. If the season had 10 episodes, it would have made a great mid-season finale with episode 7 showing the aftermath. Knowing that we have to wait several years for a 2nd season also feels kind of ridiculous knowing the budget the show had. The actors, scenery and writing (in some places) are what saves this show. Galadriel scenes are always breath-taking, and I love how her actress portrays her. Durin and Disa (along with the whole scenery of Khazad-Dum) are scene stealers whenever they appear. Hopefully, they give us more of them next season. Overall, it's a good show but I definitely feel like they could have done more knowing the big budget and great cast. Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantina 3,270 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 EPISODE 8 SPOILERS: Spoiler This episode felt like they tried to wrap up the plot as quickly as possible. They could have split this episode in 2 or maybe even 3 parts. I didn't like how all of a sudden, after 7 episodes, Galadriel started to suspect Halbrand. I understand that she had to step away from the dark path she was on when the show started, but this reveal kind of feels anticlimactic knowing that the build-up lasted 30 minutes lol. Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
