In the Lord of the Rings movies, only a short process is told in the story of Middle-earth, which has a long history. The Second Age, which is thousands of years before those films, is a legend that finds a small place in the narration of only one moment in the production. Amazon Prime Video will now take us into the Second Age.
From the money spent to the casting, the date of its release to its importance for the platform, and even Jeff Bezos’ personal participation in the premiere, the first critical comments came for the production, which is preparing to hit the screens with great pomp and remarkable glamor.
Initial reviews are quite positive.
Although no critique has been published yet, the Rings of Power series has earned up to 93% likes on Rotten Tomatoes. But of course, there are people who don’t like it as much as there are people who like it. In the voting at Rotten Tomatoes, the ratings started to decline and reached 83%.
In other words, most of the platform users stated that they liked the series. Let’s take a look at the comments from Metacritic:
“An exhilaratingly great fantasy writing, although it’s just the beginning, what’s most impressive about the production effort of series producers JD Payne and Patrick McKay (September 2) is the balance between the glorious and the vile, the romantic and the brutal, the exuberant and the hopeless. it feels fresh—but also poised to be the one production that will ultimately dominate them all.”
“It’s true, The Rings of Power’s pace is slow and planned in the first two episodes, and the show needs to work on balancing screen time with seemingly unrelated plot points. But the show will tell its audiences about its characters, their various goals and objectives before they take risks in the future that could potentially be the end of the world. It’s clear that he has enough confidence in his story to give them the time they need to get to know their passions.”
“This isn’t Westeros. No one’s helmets are going to explode here. Instead, it’s a flamboyant return to a lovingly wrought Middle-earth that promises to offer immense adventure.”
“The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are visually stunning, intensely lifelike, and at times awe-inspiring… There’s a big problem here, though. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is strong It may have had a start, but the theme is so full of moving parts and far-flung heroes that it’s easy to see the story’s collapse… We can only be cautiously optimistic—and skeptical afterward—before watching past the first two episodes submitted for review.”
