The first impression that the series gives, where the viewer buys without a doubt, is because of the visual spectacle that presents and justifies, in part, the over $100 million that Amazon will invest in each season (of which five are planned). The epic portrait of fantastic world that Tolkien described so vividly in his words this created at a level that very few series reach, perhaps only Game Of Thrones.
One feeling is inescapable and it is thatMost of those who marveled at Peter Jackson’s films will not be able to escape the allure of returning to Middle-earth.to know its corners, cultures, characters and stories. Reintroduce the world and replicate that hook in such a difficult adaptation from the papers it is not a small thing. But, I say that it justifies “in part” because not all the plots of the series benefit equally in the initial episodes. Each has its rights and wrongs and disappointments could distance the fan and not attract the casual viewer.

Within the stories of the elves, those that are starring characters we already knew like Galadriel or Elrond (played in the movies by Hugo Weaving and now by Robert Amayo) they feel the most worked. Still, in the case of the former, his impulsive and ambitious nature can result in a disconnection between character and viewer. The bond that was formed with the humanity of the Hobbits in “The Lord of the Rings” will be more difficult to achieve with these immortal and almost divine beings. Although, for his part, Elrond’s relationship with the dwarves does show a more human placethe momentum of the series by stand out from the movies with “younger” versions might turn off some hard Tolkien fans.
That relationship with the dwarves also allows for another exploration of a much-loved race. of the previous entries that remains faithful in its characteristics. In addition, the series takes the opportunity to give us another visual treat and unfold the beauty of the mines of Moria at their peak. Perhaps, the best balanced moment of the series so far.
What is not so balanced are the two remaining plots. Both the hairy ones and the romance between the elf and the human are promises of things that may lead to the great story but surrounded by flaws. Especially note some simple dialogues that are very out of tune with the universe in which they live and whose performances nor attempt to lift.
As the famous poem of the literary saga says: “Not everything that is gold glitters. Not all wandering people are lost.” this principle It is not a false step, it is the timid entrance to something that still promises. “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” has six more chapters to iron out rough edgesexpand the world a little more and, above all, work on their characters in greater depth.
