Please don’t suck
After 20 years of nostalgia, no one could beat Cate Blanchett’s already great voice over of the opening lines of the Fellowship of the Ring.
But man, that voice over they picked sure was weak to begin with for this.
I am going to ignore this completely unless and until it becomes clear that on consensus this is as good as the LOTR movies. I can deal with half-assed Wheel of Time, but if I learned anything from the Hobbit movies it’s that LOTR content that isn’t truly top tier would just hurt too much and isn’t worth it.
I’m going to assume it’s crap until I see evidence otherwise
Visually this is like a perfume commercial without people. Musically it’s like spiderman. And the voice is like from a Blizzard game. The entire aesthetic doesn’t feel very LOTR to me. A teaser doesn’t need much if it’s good, but whatever this is feels shallow and over-edited. I hope I’m wrong.
I don’t understand what part of Tolkien’s subject matter they are drawing from for this- is it about Celebrimbor and the forging of the rings? Because it doesn’t feel like a story can start there, seeing as it relies on Sauron’s downfall in Numenor(edit: I’m wrong about this, someone let me know that the rings came long before Numenor fell) Is it about the ringwraiths and other ringbearers specifically? Because Tolkien’s didn’t really write about them, and it would be more of a fanfic. I thought Amazon was going to announce their LOTR companion was about the first age and the Silmarils.

…it’s a title announcement.
Good write up about it in Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/01/lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-amazon
This is not going to be just a retelling of the Lord of the Rings 3 book series that Peter Jackson already did. The source material is from appendices to those books that delve into the time before the One Ring story, and the destruction of Sauron. It’s set during the time the rings were forged and distributed.
Hold your disappointment until you see Sauron in his form that is appealing and deceptively friendly to the people and elves of Middle Earth. Anything short of Tom Hiddleston is probably gonna break hearts.
Rather it was produced by hbo
Prime Video logo at the beginning, Prime Video logo at the end, Prime Video logo in the bottom left corner. Guys, I think this will be released on Prime Video.
​
Edit: PRIME VIDEO PRIME VIDEO PRIME VIDEO.
Turns out this is [actual](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC_yTMST7mw) molten steel, water and woodwork in the video. I thought it was CGI
Fun fact: This entire teaser is a practical effect.
[They posted some behind the scenes.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZEpWvQFXqQ)
Lotr has no nudity. Lotr don’t need nudity.
In seriousness, I want to believe Amazon spared no expense.
As God is my witness,, I will not be Cowboy Bebop’ed again.
That’s not a trailer
Lord of the Rings: Ring of the Lords.
I picture lots of angsty teens like the SyFy Shannara Series.
and a bunch of actors who never read the books but thought Dumbledore was pretty badass in the movies.
Should’ve finished The Expanse first
The Second Age would have been a better title
I wasn’t much of a fan of the WoT series they released recently. I hope this one isn’t as disappointing. Granted part of that was what comes with direct book to tv adaptations. Really the LotR was the only one that I loved.
I’m not sure what happened with Wheel of Time and at this point I’m too afraid to ask
After wheel of time I am very concerned
Lord of the Power of the Apes.
Is this starring Jeff Bezos as gollum?
