„Das Böse kann nichts Neues erschaffen, es kann nur korrumpieren und ruinieren, was gute Mächte erfunden oder gemacht haben.“ — J.R.R. Tolkien

this quote is so true and yet it makes me a bit sad that they ruin every good franchise

I have read these books since I was a child (I'm 48 now!!). Must have done it dozens of times and still get something new out of them. I can be critical in parts of I wanted to be - his femail characters lack any depth apart from Galadrial,, and there is some parts which go beyond the normal love for your fellow man (or hobbit) but as a package it's a masterpiece. Deep lore, timeless quest, honour and valour throughout. To take this and 'modernise it' is like taking little woman and saying there aren't enough men in it. Or maybe remaking Jane Eyre as 'John Eyre' with a gay lead. It's just bastardising the original. Make your own lore, story, characters and let them stand on their own merits rather than on the shoulders of giants.

You gotta love the comments

Meh. Looks as boring and pointless as all the others.

“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made”J.R.R Tolkien : )

Thanks, that was a great watch 👍

And they will still watch it just like they keep watching NFL and basketball.

Anything with that much CG just in normal scenes has to be awful. It's like they know it's bad so they're throwing money at it to try and distract the prols with all the shiny effects. Only time will tell if it works.

The spanish version also got that phrase flood. Fuck Amazon!
