Based on material in the appendicies and in the Simarillion, supposedly.What is this based on? I don’t recall any of his books titled “Rings of Power.” Is this a quick money grab?
Thank youBased on material in the appendicies and in the Simarillion, supposedly.
That's the biggest complaint so far. It is VERY loosely based on these works.Based on material in the appendicies and in the Simarillion, supposedly.
That movie would be called @TroutBumChrist i thought this was about my morning dump.
Based on what I have seen and heard the series gets cancelled within 2 seasons.Apparently, they’ve already committed to four seasons I believe, but that could always change.
All the money is going to CGI instead of actors at least.
You crap rings? That is a talented sphincter. Obviously well-practiced.Christ i thought this was about my morning dump.
Can't expect too much from an adaptation. It's not like Jackson was fanatically devoted to the text.That's the biggest complaint so far. It is VERY loosely based on these works.
So it is basically expensive fan-fic? Yay....? Look how that kind of crap worked for the Gunslinger. Ugh.That's the biggest complaint so far. It is VERY loosely based on these works.
The second season will begin filming before this one releases so we'll at least get two.Based on what I have seen and heard the series gets cancelled within 2 seasons.
The CGI was the least of the problems for the Hobbit. The over-bloated "story" to fill 8+ freaking hours of total run time with no substance and tons of useless and meaningless filler as a blatant cash grab was the problem with the Hobbit. It should have been 1 movie. Better still a 4 or 6-part (max and that is probably too much) mini-series would have been better to flesh it out a bit. But the movies were ridiculous in the extreme.The second season will begin filming before this one releases so we'll at least get two.
I'm afraid they're going to be over reliant on CGI which was a strong point for the Fellowship of the Rings (and less so for Two Towers/ROTK though I'd also argue those were superior movies). It left a bitter taste in my mouth that The Hobbit was too CGI'ish.
Jackson did a pretty good job with LOTR. There were no made up characters. He did expand some character's roles but overall I feel like he did a good job of staying with the story.Can't expect too much from an adaptation. It's not like Jackson was fanatically devoted to the text.
So what did Amazon buy? “We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit,” Payne says. “And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books.” That takes a huge chunk of lore off the table and has left Tolkien fans wondering how this duo plans to tell a Second Age story without access to those materials. “There’s a version of everything we need for the Second Age in the books we have the rights to,” McKay says. “As long as we’re painting within those lines and not egregiously contradicting something we don’t have the rights to, there’s a lot of leeway and room to dramatize and tell some of the best stories that [Tolkien] ever came up with.”
