    There was a showing of the first two episodes at a theater in California yesterday for critics and other well-known film buffs. Some of them posted reviews online slaughtering this.

    I just revisited. I think they overlaid the actors with CGI to match the CGI surrounds. The whole thing looks like a glorified video game

    When mom becomes childless, it sounds like suicide.

    Watched the first episode last night. Plot was actually ok. I cut help but chuckle at the casting and makeup though. All the male elves look gay. The director seems to want all the actors and actresses to speak through closed mouths.
    Is this whole thing CGI? Something is off on the facial closeups.

    I think they went the other way... no CGI, or as little as possible. A lot of people complained that the Orcs looked terrible in the Hobbit trilogy, which was all CGI, so Amazon decided to do the prosthetic/makeup thing.

    I watched both available episodes and I guess my expectations were really low because so far I think it's ok.

     
    Because I'm completely aware of the books' timeline of events in it's entirety, as told in the Silmarillion and others, I'm kind of having a problem with Meteor Man. I know who he is, and he's not supposed to show up in Middle Earth until the Third Age. This show takes place in the Second Age, which ends with the War of the Rings, which is what we're supposed to be working towards. The Meteor Man character, if I'm right about his identity, shouldn't be there at all.
