Visually stunning - no one can deny that. But since we are spoiled so much by amazing cgi these days, I invite you to focus instead on the wardrobe of the characters, especially their armor. The Elven soldier from the watchtower(?) - who is without a doubt a serious badass just by how smoothly he swings his bow around his shoulder as if he's done it for 79 years - has such an awesome breastplate! The palma merenti crown that elves wear looks sooo fancy, too.
When the elves talk, it feels like we are watching a play; Elrond and Galadriel's dialogue sounds Shakespearean with flowery prose that matches the gorgeous garden setting. Words fall out of their elven mouths like ethe golden leaves that grace their capes.
I enjoy that this is a series, and not a movie. I feel like with the series we can take our time developing more of the story, the characters, and dive deeper into the land of Middle Earth. It is very exciting to share this with my nephews who have recently read The Hobbit.
This is our intro to LOTR: Ring of Power and I'm all for it!
