There is very little left for the premiere of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ next september 2 on Amazon Prime Video, so the barrage of news in the series will not stop growing until then. The big news today is that the first opinions have finally appeared, and they are great.
Praise is universal to the series visuallyhighlighting that it looks wonderful and that it is unrivaled on television – has it forgotten ‘The house of the dragon’ or is it really a show that has never been seen before? – but, luckily, they are not the only virtues mentioned by the first lucky ones to see several complete episodes.
The cast also receives several mentions, especially the work of Morfydd Clark like the new Galadriel, but there are also comments that it seems made for Tolkien fans or that the second episode is going to drive ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fans crazy because of how good it is. Without further ado, I leave you with those first opinions:
Everything about this series is incredible. From the cinematography to the costumes to the movie quality sets. And, of course, the cast. Get ready for something special. I cannot wait to see more. Starts streaming September 2nd. 2/2 pic.twitter.com/A6gOOkSJEc

We’ve seen a few episodes of ‘The Rings of Power’. Epic and magnificent in scale, the series is sure to appeal to fans of the film trilogy, while also appealing to new fans who are eager to experience a dynamic fantasy world that is clearly a labor of love for all involved.
#TheRingsofPower is definitely a promising return to Middle-earth based on the first episodes. Stunning visuals, compelling characters, and a magnetic lead in Morfydd Clark’s Galadriel, who refuses to surrender the widely-held belief that Sauron is defeated. Can’t wait for more. pic.twitter.com/XNf9Xie0Qm

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ is undoubtedly a promising return to Middle-earth according to the first episodes. Stunning visuals, engaging characters, and a magnetic protagonist, Morfydd Clark’s Galadriel, who refuses to give in to the widely held belief that Sauron has been defeated. I can’t wait for more.
Social media embargo is up for #LordofTheRings #TheRingsofPower #LOTR, so: I’ve seen the first 2 episodes. I had been skeptical…but I was very pleasantly surprised. It is actually good! Very good! Visuals & tone are just right. IMO, a great addition to the Tolkien world

I have seen the first 2 episodes. She had been skeptical… but she has very pleasantly surprised me. The truth is that it is good! Very good. The visual effects and tone are just right. In my opinion a great addition to Tolkien’s world.
Okay so the first two episodes of #LordoftheRings #RingsofPower are a spectacular sight to behold. The scale, scope, ambition and grandiosity is unrivaled on TV. It also has the laborious task of introducing SO much necessary world building that it takes a bit to set flight.

Here’s something you probably didn’t expect to hear. I thought #TheRingsOfPower was pretty great. Interesting new characters. Unusual locations. The looming threat of Sauron and some spectacular visual imagery. I devoured the episodes, and am excited to watch more. pic.twitter.com/uCTsjnLZpZ

The pilot for #RingsOfPower is great but the 2nd episode is gonna make #LordOfTheRings fans flip the f out… it’s so good, and can’t wait to see the rest of Season 1!

The #RingsOfPower pilot is great, but the second episode is going to make ‘Lord of the Rings’ fans go crazy… it’s so good, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the first season!
I’ve seen the first 2 episodes of #LordOfTheRings #TheRingsOfPower. It is stunningly gorgeous to look at, and the score is beautiful. It also takes a while to get going, and there’s a LOT going on. But for fans of the movies, it’ll take you right back at points once it’s rolling.

I’ve seen the first two episodes. It’s breathtakingly beautiful to look at, and the soundtrack is beautiful. It also takes a while to boot up, and a LOT happens. But for fans of the movies, it’ll take you right back to the points once it’s up and running.
I can now say that the first 2 episodes of #TheRingsOfPower are as cinematic as fantasy can be on TV. Feels made especially for Tolkien fans and is as *epic* as LOTR should be.
