"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" actors and other actors who completely transformed themselves for their roles. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”; and 'The Lord of the Rings' novels was to make the series a new final adaptation (actually a retelling of Gospodara prstenova: Prstenova družina (2001), Gospodara prstenova: Dvije kule (2002) and Gospodar prstenova: Povratak kralja (2003), but the Tolkien estate rejected this proposal.
and novelist Simon Tolkien) for the inclusion of new characters and plot elements
Amazon eventually acquired rights on the condition that the series differ from Peter Jackson’s previous adaptations and that they could not conflict with what Tolkien had previously written.Original ideas proposed included backstory with characters such as Aragorn, Gimli and Gandalf, but the showrunners chose to focus on important, untold events from the novels, rather than mere side stories, so they agreed with the studio that the series would take place during the Second Age. , they examined the Lord of the Rings novels and appendices to find passages and references to the second age that they could incorporate into their story.

Tolkien’s The Silmarillion
The original titles are a musical sequence of various form-forming substances based on the "Ainur music" creation myth from J.R.R. featured in The Critical Drinker: The Rings of Power – War For A Fandom (2022). We all know that liberties were taken with this series, so my review is not based on faithfulness to the source material. A lot of the marketing for this show made people afraid of a revival.
I didn’t see anything like that
I didn’t hurt my eyes or cry for virtue signaling. The pacing is a little uneven in places, but being early in the series, I almost expected it to be a little hectic. There’s a lot going on, things that need to be set up and implemented, etc…However, the characters and story are compelling, the cinematography was well done, and the score felt right…so I’m really excited to see where this series goes. Be sure to try this one and decide for yourself.
