The Lord Of The Rings The Rings Of Power Is Beautiful Banal Boredom

Comment Can you make your way to the next ‘Game of Thrones?’ Jeff Bezos—the second richest man in the world and, incidentally, the owner of The Washington Post—certainly seems to have tried. But you already know what I’m doing: If money was all it took to make the next fantastic monoculture phenomenon happen, it would have happened by now. ‘House of the Dragon’ is ‘Game of Thrones’ with more wigs, less pomp To be fair, the Lord of the Rings franchise was intended for all ages. But it’s not clear who “The Rings of Power” is for. Based largely on the appendices — the appendices! — in the novel The Lord of the Rings, set about 3,000 years before the events of this book. Already greenlit for five seasons (with a possible spinoff in the works), seasoned showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay, who don’t just have a “Star Trek Beyond” writing credit to their IMDb name, said their goal is to create “a 50-hour show” from material covered in just a few minutes in Jackson’s movies. In total, the budget of the series is expected to exceed 1 billion dollars. That should be easy enough to overcome: The first season alone cost $465 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and that’s without taking into account the initial money to secure the IP. Review: Our new fantasy show is definitely a prequel to something you love I’ve spent this review so far focusing more on “The Rings of Power’s” development than its content because there’s so little of note to the actual show. The characters – including the Elves Galadriel and Elrond, played by Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving in the films – are thin and the plots not much more substantial. Exiled from her childhood, Valinor, by a centuries-old war that lost her older brother, this younger Galadriel (Morphyd Clarke) won’t give up the fight despite a lack of orc sightings in years. (Outside of combat, elves tend to live forever.) There’s also a boisterous young adventure-seeking Harfoot named Nori (Markella Kavenagh) – an anomaly in her insular, nomadic community – so archetypal her refrain might as well be “I wanna be where the people are, there’s got to be more than this country life!’ She soon gets her wish when a sick stranger (Daniel Weyman) – tall and angular-faced – is nearby spent, amnesiac and heavily implied to be the story’s antagonist. Many miles away, a human healer, Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), and an elf guard, Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova), entertain a possibly doomed interspecies flirtation. Elrond (Robert Aramaio), a member of the Elven king’s court, has his own challenges maintaining a friendship with Dwarf Prince Durin (Wayne Arthur), who could prove to be a crucial ally in battle against the oaths. Despite Jackson’s claim that the “Rings of Power” creative team imagined him, they borrow and build upon the character designs, fairyland aesthetic and musical landscape he created for the films. (Expect to sing – a lot.) “The Rings of Power” looks to feed Tolkien’s dazzling fans with spectacular sights of exotic lands they may not have seen before: Middle-earth, of course, but also Valinor, a sacred land inhabited by the immortals, and the island kingdom of Númenor , whose fall is written in the books. (Like Jackson’s films, the series was shot in New Zealand.) But for audiences not already invested in the pointy-eared folk’s performances, the series doesn’t offer much reason to care. The performances are serviceable but unsurpassed, while the dialogue is particularly stiff and unsophisticated, with too many intense monologues about the search for “light” or the ever-unclear nature of evil. The fate of many worlds hangs in the balance, but the uninspired opulence on the screen sparks only visions in the imagination of bills going up in smoke. Rarely has danger felt so boring.
