Amazon’s original pitch for the television rights to JRR
Synopsis
Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.. "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" cast and more actors who totally transformed for their roles.. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and 'The Lord of the Rings' novels was to make the series a new adaptation of the latter (effectively a retelling of Gospodar prstenova: Prstenova družina (2001), Gospodar prstenova: Dvije kule (2002) and Gospodar prstenova: Povratak kralja (2003)), but the Tolkien estate rejected this proposal.
The dubbing credits for several languages mistakenly list King Durin III as "Durin II"
Amazon finally obtained the rights under the conditions that the series be distinct from Peter Jackson’s earlier adaptations, and that they couldn’t contradict anything that Tolkien had previously written. Early ideas that were proposed included prequel stories featuring characters such as Aragorn, Gimli and Gandalf, but the showrunners preferred to focus on important untold events from the novels' lore rather than simple side stories, so they settled with the studio that the series would take place during the books' Second Age. Since they didn’t have the rights to Tolkien’s 'The Silmarillion', 'Unfinished Tales' and 'The History of Middle-earth' (which explore the First and Second Ages), they checked the Lord of the Rings novels and appendices for passages about and references to the Second Age that they could set their story in. They consulted with the estate and several Tolkien lore experts (including grandson and novelist Simon Tolkien) about the inclusion of new characters and plot elements..
Tolkien’s "The Silmarillion"
The opening titles is a musical sequence of matter forming various shapes, based on the "Music of the Ainur" creation myth from J.R.R. Featured in The Critical Drinker: The Rings of Power – War For A Fandom (2022). The characters all feel completely one-dimensional and deliver some shamefully cheesy/corny dialogue. There are some really great moments here and there but it’s a slog to sit through the other 50 minutes per episode to get to them.
It feels simultaneously too slow and too fast
There is practically zero character development so far (I’m up to episode 7), and the characters very rarely have any memorable moments or interactions where their personality shines. The show completely lacks any discernible main forward momentum, the presence of which was the very foundation of the movies. It could all be forgiven if the action scenes were satisfying and the show had some good pacing, but they aren’t and it doesn’t. It’s pretty remarkable how much they got wrong.Also annoying is how every set feels so SMALL and strangely immaculate.
Everything looks plastic and shiny and un-lived-in
Like all of their cosplay armor was just taken out of its box. I can’t believe this costs $90 million dollars per episode… just insane.I really hope they change writers for the second season, otherwise I don’t think this will survive to see a season 3.. See the cast of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" in all their most iconic roles from Morfydd Clark in Saint Maud to Benjamin Walker in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and more.
