“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and “The Hobbit” have had huge success as they have brought the stories of J.R.R. Tolkien to life. But there were still bits of the story missing, so that’s why Amazon put a whopping $1 billion into a series known as “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”
Tolkien’s stories all take place in a fantasy world known as Middle Earth. In timeline order, “The Hobbit” takes place first. This introduces many of the creatures and characters that are throughout the movies. Then the three Lord of the Rings movies come after.
Throughout these movies, the characters are constantly referring to old battles, cities, and tales. They never go into detail about the events, which leads to a lot of questions. And that’s where the Rings of Power series comes in.
The story takes place centuries before the other movies. But a few of the main characters are actually in the rest of the movies. Such as Galadriel, an ageless wise elf.
Galadriel, due to past losses, is determined to hunt down the evil that has been growing and snuff it out. Little does she know that she may cause the very destruction she hopes to stop. Through a series of events, she gains both friends and enemies.
Meanwhile, a Hobbit, named Nori, is determined that she has a greater purpose than to cower and fear in her small village like the rest of her people. With the help of her friend Poppy, they aid a strange magical man that they encounter in the woods.
Several other such stories play into the main plot which is based around the growing threat of Sauron. More and more orc attacks keep occurring and a plan to create a dark kingdom is uncovered.
The Elves came to the aid of Middle Earth when the darkness first aroused and have been fighting a long war. It’s been a dark and dreadful war in which they’ve suffered many losses. The first episode gives this background and then starts later in the war.
The structure and build of this episode series are well put together and definitely worth watching. New episodes come out each week with five of them already out. Each one so far ends with a cliffhanger that keeps you wanting to watch the next episode, then the next.
This is one of Amazon’s biggest series. They spent a lot of money putting it together, and they did a pretty great job. The CGI makes it look so real and the fact that they went and filmed it in New Zealand helps add to the quality of the show. They are scheduled to release new episodes every Friday and have an eight-season series.
I think this episode series was amazing. It’s well put together and it fits in with the rest of the Lord of the Rings world. Amazon should have huge success with this show, and I look forward to the new episodes every Friday.
With all the work that was put into the making of “Rings of Power,” it’s no wonder how popular it is. For Lord of the Rings lovers, it’s a chance to step back into this wonderful world. It shows exactly what happened in the beginning, how a lot of creatures and power came to be, and, as the name implies, where the rings came from.
