I find it hilarious how many angry little people there are out there giving this a 1 star . You guys should grow up hahaha.
I am a big fan of everything Tolkien, read all the books as a kid, then re read them a few times over my life, watched all the movies and i like it all (although the hobbit series wasn't amazing).
I am well familiar with the whole history of its world, from the first song until the end of the rings, and im aware many things have been changed around on this series, yet that doesn't take any of the appeal from it. The series is beautifully done, has a good story, cool characters a beautiful and carefully created world.
If you are a true fan of the Tolkien world, you should be open to the idea of different interpretations.
I give it a solid 5.
Only loosers would rate this as 1 star
