Well you can see where they’ve spent the money.

I absolutely hated it
Terribad, so bad in fact I am going to watch it again so that I can make sure I identify every single bad thing about it, there are just so many bad things about it!!!11!
And then I will watch every other episode that comes out twice as well.
That way I should be 100% on top of everything bad in preparation for internet arguments about how bad it was.

Enjoying this, although perhaps a little less than the GoT prequel. Some of the casting decisions are just down right bizzare, take Lenny Henry for example. The visuals are epic.

I'll give the first two episodes a 7/10.
Fairly decent so far, the production values are of course very impressive, there were some impressive and enjoyable scenes as well which grabbed my attention. Decent enough build up so far seeing as it's just been two episodes although there are some obvious issues:
- In the first fight scene they've kept the super unrealistic legolas style physics that ruined the hobbit trilogy. Why do they keep doing this, it looks so bad.
- What is up with those awful half Irish accents, it doesn't seem to fit in.
- The soundtrack pales in comparison to lotr. Do they not have the rights to adapt some of the original tracks more?
- Lenny Henry, I can't take him seriously, just why cast him?
- I'm a little confused on the character introductions so far but perhaps that just takes time.
Other than that it's quite watchable but it's clear this will never come close to the original films.

I think he must have a secret terminal illness only those in the biz know about, thus wanting to give him work.
He was good and funny as the small head (Shrunken Head) on the bus for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I think he's always been zany?

Even the people who liked it only mention one thing - the visual element. Because that's all there is to it, below the surface the is nothing to commend it.

He's done next to nothing for 40 years of any note, he's been on the gravy train because of who he is. And he's always on hand to do the copmic relief stuff, think of him as a kind of BBC ambassador, and of course he's a go to guy for black issues. But as a comic which is what he began as, he has been inrrelevant for decades. As a comic he has been COMPLETELY outshone and overshadowed by his wife.
He's in it because he's Lenny henry that's what is career has been for decades.
I wish to disassociate myself from anything the guy above has just said, whilst I am not that into Lenny Henry as an actor, its nothing like what that guy seems to think. Anyway, as always with me, I will very quickly get used to the idea and forget about it.

Audience score Rotten Tomatoes down to 37%...
That's right amazon "We have seen what you have seen" and it sucks...no hiding any more behind the shill media, bought influencers and calling the fan base 'ists and 'phobes.

Well the dialogue was that bad it was probably intentional and improved the experience.

This was always going to be tough to deliver.
Hopefully it picks upAnd is a success.

Do yourself a favour and stick him on ignore.
Any content that doesn't have a white, all male cast is considered woke so the less people that reply to him the better.

10 mins in, seems kinda boring
also getting woke vibes like someone's gonna change gender just to make a statement.

I know I could lose my nerd license by admitting this. but I'm not a big fan of the films. Not knowing the films inside out, should I watch this or give it a miss?
Soldato
Oh dear. 6.2 on imdb. I will make my own mind up this weekend.

called it, 35 mins in, a black elf.
