Il Signore degli Anelli - Gli Anelli del Potere

What a pointless exercise in burning money.

If you'd like to see how this show could've successfully adapted the material they had the rights to visit Tolkien Untangled on Youtube.

I can't fathom how terrible this show is. I just don't understand how and why it was allowed to be this bad.

There is not one redeeming feature. You could argue that some of the shots are pretty, and that sometimes the music is quite good. Even that's a stretch.

But how you transform such an epic narrative into a small, mundane, boring story with unlikeable characters, dialogue that sounds written by machine, and narrative lacking any coherence or logic is truly beyond me.

I could list everything wrong with this show, but if I did that I'd be typing for days, and I'd end up with a novel. Not one that any sane person would want to read but an actual doorstop of material eviscerating this utterly forgettable show.

I've had more fun being punched in the face than I experienced during eight hours of this horror show.

If you like it, I don't understand how.

One thing is certain, this show will not last. It will not make it to a fifth season. I doubt it will stretch to a fourth season, and even a third would be such a waste of time, and money that I don't see it happening.

Nobody wanted this show to work more than I did. It doesn't work, and it shouldn't exist.
