Let me start from the very beginning the narrator’s voice in the trailer….And of course you are going to compare it with the voice of Kate Blanchett who did the narration in the Peter Jackson movies…. The depth and the magic the voice required is so missing and does nothing for you.
The characters have American accent, I wish the creator had done research and worked more on right casting creating the persona rather than just picking people from the herd. If you compare the amount of work Peter Jackson and his crew put in creating the master pieces like LOTR & hobbit, the ring of power seems very low grade adaptation. For story like Tolkiens the creator needs to be a visionary like Peter Jackson. The lord Elrond & Galadriel characters are written as the one who has great dignity and have majestic personalities and it was come through superbly in the movies but the in tv series they r most let down casting. They do not carry themselves as wise nor who have great dignity and most of the time Galadriel comes across as a very childish version of the real thing…… the other thing is the story line, the dialogues and the music very disappointed with the whole thing. Looks like any other American epic tv show rather then the legendary story by a legendary visionary.
The creator of tv series should have kept in mind that the tv series will be compared with the movies, which is the best of the best. Have really lost interest and super disappointed so not gonna watch anymore. Hopefully if Peter Jackson ever decides to make the movie or series, I’ll be first to watch. But for this series a complete no no .
