To be fair it took some minutes to dry and perhaps in teh world of the show some hours passed, But nice that the river is not just spilling over the rocks. Good river, just read the script and stayed behind the impromptu dam
its doing laundry :D if u hadnt figured it out by now. these DEI and libbelibs only here to drain every industry for money. atleast with Harvey Weinstein we got good movies/shows. and by the lies these people been telling just about the shows. i dont think Harvey was that of a bad guy, dude had money. power position and these hoes wanted to shine so they did the gawk gawk. they all ashamed and regret and party up over time to take him down. now he is out of the way. his assistant is helping her friends and herself to bleed the industry for money.
I’m convinced at least $500 million of that is pure money laundering or something because this show does NOT look like the most expensive thing ever made.
A cavalry STOPS in mid charge!!! That is like jumping of a cliff. Most braindead thing you'll see in a movie. They gave up the ONLY advantage they had, just because. Hilarious shit.
That's like braking to a stop in the middle of a Nascar race. Unless everyone stops at once, the same exact millisecond, they all should've crashed into each other.
I mean they're elves, they do all kinds of shit that defies the laws of physics. Just like Legolas in the movies. Plus they are known to be highly disciplined so it's not completely far-fetched that they all stopped at once. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me how they all heard Elrond say stop over the horses stampeding lol
@@Scattman101 My god - yes it IS completely far-fetched! If they were, idk, elves just running on foot.. then sure. But they were on horses! It's COMPLETELY far-fetched, lol.
The people trying to defend this BS with "but he had to pass her the pin!@!" as if he couldn't have kissed her hand, her forehead, her cheek, etc. My goddd. The people trying to desperately defend this blow my mind. 😂
@@ApostleThe344 I feel you. The LoTR trilogy are my favourite movies of all time. The Hobbit trilogy was disappointing to me overall (too stretched out for no good reason and a bit too reliant on CGI) but still…when you know all the details (the financial blocking leading to Del Toro leaving to then Peter Jackson having to take the reign and be the captain last minute, etc) it’s a masterpiece compared to Rings of Boredom. It’s sad to say it makes me appreciate WAY MORE what Jackson did with the time he had compared to this atrocity.
@@ChopSueyyy shiny 💩 is still 💩 Some shots look good, but in general not so much and what does "looking good" matter, when everything else is unbearable about this? Some episodes maybe get a 2/10 at most imho
The guy that's been depressed since the day he first showed up on the channel? So funny... What makes me depressed is how sure I am that I could comfortably bet a 100 dollars that 95% of the people in these comments never even watched this show, and just let these fat fucking Muricans tell them what to think and just blindly as a bunch of brainless sheep jump on the next hate boner they can ride. Congrats, you are one of them.
Horses can instantly stop if they want to, right? Right? Also just imagine Elrond at the top tripped and every horse fell over him like a domino sequence, that would have been so awsome
I was so hoping that they would just fucking trample and kill them all, but no... Elrond decides to stop the whole easily won fight, dooming all elves there for death, just to save Galadriel... Like wtf
30 elves... *30 elves*?! This show is a money laundering scheme or some kind of tax/investor fraud. There's no other explanation for why it costs so much and looks this cheap.
@@MrTNT-Minecraftthe armor, the effects, the weapons, the greenscreens, i can go on. This show looks awful and is somehow written even worse, it spits on the source material. This is one of the franchises where you *cant* go changing big things when adapting, if you do it will be rightfully hated and fail, as this show is
@@KrazzeeKane there are stupid claims about the show, but by far the stupidest is that it looks bad. The cgi is better than Lotr and the hobbit. Have you been looking at the armour and weapons? They look great
Except for some of the cgi, which is of course no surprise given their age. I rematched them not too long ago and boy, the cg doubles in the moria segment are pretty noticable
@@MaMastoast Well, yeah. It's mostly the costumes that look better the closer you look. Unlike in RoP, where Miriel is wearing underarmour and stuff like that.
Shots like 4:00 look good and big, and they're even more realistic than some of Jackson's with stretched-out battle lines in the distance instead of the large clumps in the Siege Of Minas Tirith, for example. But the shockingly incompetent editing and cinematography ruin everything, like the zoomed-out shots showing the few actors on set (I roared with laughter when they showed 2.5 elves charging). In contrast, Jackson's were expertly shot and edited to convey scale.
Just finished watching it. The battle scene was slow as f*ck , characters dying who had zero build up for us to care , the pacing seemed off , the tactics seemed off. Compare this to Helms Deep and it’s actually laughable. Gutted because the Sacking of Eregion could of been so epic and they HAD THE BUDGET TO DO IT !
I literally laughed out loud when the Asian lady elf was lazily re-introduced, told that a single arrow can make all the difference, then OF COURSE later she is hit by 3-4 arrows, falls, then stands up again to deliver the coup-de-grace fuel barrel shot before she died - ALL IN SLOW MO.
Check the subreddit for this show. They LOVE everything about it. The smallest criticism? You'll get downvoted to the point of being unable to post there again.
Oof. I went into this show wanting & hoping to enjoy it, buts its all been empty spectacle, bad character writing, weak secondary characters, poorly compressed timeline... just incredibly high-budget cringey mid to me.
As if the orc "ma wife! ma kids!" bit wasn't bad enough. holy fuck this is a historic failure of a series. we thought the GoT collapse was bad... Amazon said hold my beer
Hmmm I think that is an exaggeration. The fall of got was much worse, partially due to the show actually having excellent writing for the first half and then The slow and steady decline into trash
I dunno, both of them were fanfictions from the start, book readers of Song of Ice and Fire know what I mean, however, Game of thrones first four seasons, had better dialogue and better pace as a show against whatever ROP has shown us so far. GoT was definitelly better as a show for sure.
You have to build something first for it to collapse…this series didn’t even lay a foundation nevermind being built up to something that would even be able to collapse 😂😂😂
The editing of his death scene is also bafflingly dogshit... can't even tell how he fucking died cause it just oscillates between close ups of his and elronds face, and I guess gil galad stabbed him offscreen
The biggest miss was Gil-galad. He’s like a super soldier in battle. If he was as powerful as in the book, he could have soloed all the orcs in this episode 😂
I didn't think it would happen but it's officially crossed into "so bad it's funny" territory for me. The wimpy orcs with the "daddy doesn't love me" angle is weird as fuck but it's funny watching them repeatedly try to humanize the orcs right before they get slaughtered lol. Crazy fkn writing
Yeah, I actually started watching the show AFTER I have heard how awful it is. It's basically theatrical comedy at this point, almost satire based into LOTR.
I actually don't mind the idea of humanizing the orcs. The problem is the lack of commitment. One moment they are real people with real problems, the next one of the is gleefully slitting the throat of a horse and drinking its blood
Ikr? I feel the same. SoM and SoW games did perfectly in regards to there being more to orcs. Your bodyguard saving you, the concept of Blood Brothers, Ratbag and "Ranger". Even in Two Towers you get a glimpse of them wanting something more... But that doesn't make them good people, or soft. This show had a ton of good ideas which would've hit hard if they were executed well. But they weren't. If they wanted us to relate to an orc, why didn't they have Glúg (Mr. Inconsistent Family Man) freeing Galadriel? "Shut your gob and go." Why didn't they show Galadriel in captivity longer, where she can observe the orcs? Sorry but seeing an orc funeral parallel to that guy slitting the horse's throat kinda defeats the chance for some semblance of sympathy. The writers bit off way more than they can chew, and it's a damn shame. I don't hate the show, but I can see what it could've been in the hands of more experienced writers.
I finished watching the review and realized throughout that I'm grasping a straws here lol. Like, I'm looking for logic in their writing where there's none. Just good ideas done very, very poorly
"For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race....But they were all of them deceived.....for another ring was made" ....no they weren't deceived the elves and dwarves realised the rings were evil within a few days they were made.....Good job rings of power...
I dont think the dwarves realized the rings were evil. The reason they didnt turn into wraiths is that the dwarves love for gold overcomes everything else, even Sauron's corruption. That's why only men got turned into wraiths : The elves took their rings off the moment they sensed Sauron created the One Ring, and the Dwarves simply couldnt be corrupted by it.
Actually the Elves didn't realize anything was wrong with the rings until Sauron completed the One Ring years later and was attempting to bind the other Great Rings to its power. They heard Sauron speaking in their minds and immediately took off the rings at that point. Two of the Three most powerful, that had been made without Sauron's involvement, were sent for safekeeping to Gil-galad in Lindon (he gave one to Cirdan, who would in the Third Age then give his to Gandalf,) and the other to Galadriel in Lothlorien. The dwarves (who had seven) were mostly immune to Sauron's mind control and the rings only made them more aggressive and greedier. They kept their rings on until four of them were literally eaten/melted by Dragons. Sauron retook two more and a third in the Third Age. The Nine that Sauron eventually gave to the Men who would become the Ring Wraiths seemingly weren't worn beforehand by others. AFAIK, Sauron gave seven rings to the Dwarf Kings of their respective clans, and while he couldn't directly control them, the chaos they created in the long run caused by the avarice they instilled benefited Sauron anyway. Eventually they would ruin the dwarves. He was never able to claim the three rings that the elves kept, and after Sauron was defeated at the end of the Second Age, they were free to wear and use the power of those rings.
Best quote "I don't know man, this is stupid." Appreciate the recaps and the fun content! Also, the damn elves take 5 or 6 episodes to travel to the elf forge, but the dwarves come and go several times... WTF!!! Terrible show runners/writers! They are as bad as the Witcher bozo's.
Omg I have been saying this. Dwarfs coming and going, Galadriel taling weeks to get there, and now saying she knows a secret dwarf tunnel???? Ahahaha wtf.
This is why people were pissed for their Fallout review. I’ll watch Fallout 10 more times happily before wasting a second of my life watching this garbage.
More towards 8 for me, the other few were a 7. Yes i agree, it is basically a hate-4-clicks channel. They exaggerate every criticism and snippet. They have a foregone conclusion beforehand and then evolve into it then at the end Joe screams some more, Alex puts on his sad low brows and short guy, well i don't think he knows where he is. All scripted nonsense.
@@Faktor13 that would be turnign a dark skined dude into a whtie dude so they ain't going that angle XDXD. the very diea is als ostupid cause it was centuries before smeagol found it.
The battle was "ok" but there were so many stupid moments that kinda ruined it, from archers just having quivers that never seem to empty, to a giant troll getting knocked over by something 1/20th his weight, to the king of the elves showing up for no particular reason with no reinforcements?
Finally, I found out my problem with the show, and I'll use the elves to prove it theure just so sauceless. Now, what do I mean? Look back at the older movies and look at how when they fight, they flow and are fast yet precise and elegant, even the normal soldier. Arondir is like the only elf that even matches that vibe, and now he's dead because of petty revenge writing.
They gave Sauron fucking FORCE POWERS. It totally ruins his evil cunning sorta deceit type of character cause now he can just straight up MIND CONTROL six elves at once. And this is without even having the one ring.
To be honest, Sauron should be and is capable of a lot more than that. This show nerfed him into the ground. There's no way the 2nd dark lord, by most accounts the most powerful Maiar, gets ganked by like 20 orcs. The show is very inconsistent with what he can do.
@@wolfsbane9985No I agree with that, that was totally ridiculous that some orcs killed his physical form. But he should NOT be able to straight up just take control of six elves like he’s “blood bending” from avatar. That is totally not the kind of magic that is in Tolkien’s world.
@@reddeadcharactercreations7884 that's true, I cant think of any time something like that ever happened. It'd be more acceptable if they were disintegrated like he later does to Gil Galad
Let's not forget the one big rock was laying against a tiny rock not even connected to the mountain it's just been laying against this tiny rock for decades makes no sense
The Elves and Orcs act like humans. They're trying to make us care about the orcs which is really stupid. Instead of chopping each others heads off and saying "Looks like meats back on the menu boys!" and eating each other, we get Orcs asking Adar if he still loves them and why do they have to fight. Instead of fearless badass Elves, we get a bunch of idiots running around scared of their own shadows.
Is no one going to mention the catapults literally launching the boulders like 20 miles towards the mountain? If you pause in the right second from the mountain veiw you'll realize how hillarious it looks
I did like Durans speech, except for the fact he seemed to be giving it to whoever happened to be around in the little town square area. Everything about this episode felt so disjointed. It felt like it was a highly chopped up version that some rando posts to RUclips.
@@pablopablo3834Yeah that was kinda out of left field considering he seemed pretty aware of how bad everything was the entire time. I guess someone needs to tell him that his score doesn’t necessarily match the review he gives.
You clearly haven't seen Owe Boll's battles or 90s oversaturated CGI overloads. Don't get me wrong, they're terrible in RoP, but you should keep things in proportion.
TOLKIEN: Galadriel married Celeborn. Elrond marries Celebrian and have Arwen together. AMAZON: Let’s have Elrond kiss his Mother-in-Law and have the music swell and them closing their eyes. Yes it was to pass the brooch but it was a romantic kiss and didn’t have its place at all in a Tolkien story. How about the good ol’ forehead kiss or a hug? Oh and BY THE WAY, Celeborn was supposed to be in the battle of Eregion!
The choreography, the plot, the characters, the motivations (or lack thereof)... it's incomprehensibly bad... it almost cannot be fathomed what is happening on screen 🤔
He'll change his review he said that over and over. He said hates the show and wants it to fail. He will never give the final verdict a good score he hates it. You hate it too. Everyone on his channel generally hates it and everything like it. No worry. He will say he hates it or people will unsubscribe. It's considered by many as the worst series in history. So many hate it. There is nothing worst than it according to reviews.
Show is ass. It just really bad fan fiction. Siege of eregion doesnt even happen for 97 years after the 1 ring is forged. Its just garbage. Galadriel isnt even supposed to be here. There are maybe 30 elves in the whole city. Is the elven army still marching to Mordor when the high king is there. If Elrond decides not to stop and run the orcs over.. yea main stupid chick dies but he saves the city and he captures sauron... So risked all middle earth to save a dumb teenage 3000 year old elf. Also lets still not forget that Galadriel is the second oldest elf in the second age...... hate this woman
mark my words back to the future is next on the remake butcher block. what's left? the goonies??? lol they killed star trek, star wars, lotr, scooby doo, indiana jones ... its the last millennial trilogy left to bastardize
Am I the only one who doesn't like the accent that they gave to Tom Bombadil? I would have preferred him to have more of an Irish accent, more high pitched, because he's constantly happy. Such a jolly guy.
I don’t think it’s the accent, it’s the delivery. They made him like the most serious character. Whereas in the books he is the MOST free-spirited, unbothered person. Gandalf even thinks if they give him the one ring he would end up just misplacing it like it were a business card or something, lol.
5/10??? What? Okey, it's +1 for there wasn't any harfoots in this episode. It's +1 for there wasn't numenorians and their totally useless storyline. And the last but not least, there wasn't Theo! It's +1. So it makes 3/10.
I thought it would have been 10x better if when Celebrimbor was escaping his workshop and fell, it had actually been Sauron. If it had actually been Sauron who gave that speech to Galadriel, and told her that he was escaping with the rings to protect them, and for her to go confront Sauron at the workshop (actually Celebrimbor), it would have been the first time in the show where he could have been a great deceiver and not just some reddit-tier gaslighter.
insanely stupid ratings courtesy of "Angry" Joe. He is pulling a Disney Star Wars reviews all over again. Rightfully rants the entire video over the idiotic show but gives it 7/10. change the name of the channel to Dumb Joe and be done with it, why don't you Joe?
14:20 That may be the dumbest, most "unrealistic" thing I've seen in this whole stupid series. A hundreds strong cavalry charge stopping on a dime. And the opposing force just standing there doing nothing because the script told them they wouldn't be touched. Just. Frigging. WOWWWWWW. Stupid, stupid,stupid, stupid.....
The whole battle was so dumb, the Orcs never charged once, all the shots the Orcs were just waddling about lol even as we first see Elrond in the battle it’s in a small looking skirmish in the woods then next he’s in the middle of the battlefield. The whole thing felt disjointed and amateur.
This is why making an adjustable scoring system is dumb. So AJ gave this a 7/10 and possibly an 8! To be on par with GoT episodes... is a laughable. They need to just keep the scoring system all the same throughout all movies/shows. Then he says it's actually a 5 but on this scale it's a 7 or 8... like why
The cavalry charge was utterly ridiculous. The stones smashing down a mountain was worse. Elrond frenching Galadriel was the cherry on the top. What a load of crap!
Weren't there a bunch of orca in the room that saw elrond take that lock pick piece off his shoulder.. Wtf not slick at all. Smh terrible screenplay and direction
@@TheBlueArmageddon kissing her was just awkward though. Especially knowing the lore, AND what they have already set up in the show. They are just dear friends. A Handshake would have made more sense especially for Elrond. Would have been more slick too.
I'm shocked by 7 out of 10. You spent the entire first portion slamming the show. I think you either need to reevaluate your opening 20 minutes or change your score Joe. The words out of your mouth don't equate to a 7 out of 10.
And what do you not understand about ranting for 20 minutes that the show sucked and that even the cool parts of the episode were ruined by how bad the everything else sucked. Why even give it a temporary 7 that we be lowered at another point when nobody will actually see it. Say it is a 6 and I am going to lower all of my other scores. I stick by what I said. He ranted for 20 minutes and mentioned almost no positives and gave it a 7/10. That was dumb.
That asian, nameless, elf, Boromir flashback, hero lady somehow in 3 sec becomes target of evry orc from every direction and its only her, evry other elf is ignored by orc archers that are for some reason in a mid melee combat battlgrounds. And they all hit their mark.
The entire was also stupid because we didn't know her at all. The reason why Boromir getting shot was so emotional because it was a character that we got to know pretty well but I couldn't have cared less about that nameless elf dying in slow motion.
this show is so bad, they are giving it points for just doing things at bare minimum, like just having shots of a battle somehow means points. And if it is a blue wizard like Joe keeps going on about, so what? doesn't make anything better.
Yeah.. how they've handled the whole "Gandalf" thing is so incredibly dumb that they've literally created a problem where no matter what, any reveal about who he is, is going to be stupid and underwhelming. If it's Gandalf, then duh, there's so many hints that it's not a mystery at all so making it out to be a mystery is just dumb. If it's not Gandalf, then they spent all this time purposely trying to convince the audience it IS Gandalf that it wouldn't even make sense and they're just trying to "surprise" the audience and it'd just be dumb. They've written themselves into an incredibly stupid corner, somehow. Just as dumb as trying to convince the audience Halbrand's identity in the first season was somehow a mystery.
If you want a laugh go back to the 10:05 mark and individually watch each of those small fights on the wall and just LOOK at the choreography, it's hilarious. My favourite is the missed sword attack and reactions on the far left and the guy being flung against the wall by a ghost on the right, 10/10 acting, what a great take team, pack it up for lunch xD
That's not entirely true. The movies built up towards the big battles, the rest were either small skirmishes or character building. Having not too many battles is totally fine. Hell, i'd argue that if you put too many in, it falls short. Look at the final seasons of GoT. It got more action and battles, yet people disliked them the most. More or less battles isn't what makes this incompetent.
@@bencarlson4300 hell, GOT season 1 was supposed to have the Battle of the Green Fork the showrunners couldn’t afford it, but they KNEW it wasn’t as important as the rest of the story, and so wisely left it out
The big battle in ROP is just a series of grandiose speeches and great armies charging, giving that sense of anticipation of "shit is about to go down" only to suddenly stop when something dumb happens, and then no battle takes place. There are at least two blueball moments: first elves charging on horseback, slo-mo and everything, only to suddenly stop 5 ft from the battle in order to parlay... and the dwarves having THE speech that makes them all cry battlecries in dwarvish... only to suddenly stop and they cancel the whole march off screen. There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery.
This has to end. It is all the bad words i can't write on youtube anymore to describe it. I quite literally hate it and i know that is a strong word for "some show", but it is nothing less.
Don't watch it. I don't. Couldn't give 2 sh*ts about and I'm a giant LOTR fan. I just enjoy watching the boys dying inside having to review it for content lol.
30:35 That little piece of rock conveniently holding for dear life against the giant piece of mountain made me scream at the screen so much I discovered octaves I didn't even know I had.
Calibrimbor gets out of the spell from the window breaking but the walls are literally on the ground from getting bombarded from the seige... makes no sense
Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers 😅 Thanks Joe i needed something to lighten up the mood a bit :) The longer i think about this show, the more i despise it. And i never liked it to begin with.
The giant troll falling over that easily, comparing to the mass of horses or the mass of an elf, is like if a grown man fell on the ground due to being charged by a hamster.
Gives me something interesting to do whilst watching the show: - solid opening scene Celebrimbor - Durin and Disa protecting the rock is a bit silly - Elrond teleported 500 miles to tell Durin exactly what's happening, then teleports home to grab the king, then teleports to the battle with an army. - After the Elf archers are shooting arrows at will the elf commander gives a command to "release arrows" - Why is the unarmed, unarmored elf girl up on the battlements informing the captain "they have a ravager" when there are 20 armored elves literally watching battlefield. - Celebrimbor realizes he is in the matrix when he sees the same mouse! the candle trick was better, more original. - Oh good scene! Sauron forces Celebrimbor to kill the elven girl. (Now I know why Celebrimbor's priority was to find her) - As Elrond exits his meeting with Adar, in the middle of the orc camp, he tells the other Elf soldier the entire plan about how the dwarves are coming. That is a stupid thing to talk about in the middle of an orc camp with 6 orcs within 2 meters. - Durin gives a speech to a room of 50 dwarves rather than a crowed of 2000 outside that room. - Elrond launched a catapult at Eregion because its a cool way to kill an orc - Fighting pauses so Elrond can have a scene with his dead horse - lol there is a scene at 37:00 where the orcs have just breached the wall. If you look closely you will notice an orc picks up a 1ft thick heavy stone block like its just Styrofoam... - How is it that everyone now knows for sure there is definitely a "beast" if we dig a little deeper. - "If you take that army to Eregion now, Kazadun might not be here when you return" Why? How could anyone possibly know that a Balrog might wipe out the entire Kazadun while Durin is gone? We know, the writers know. The characters should not know this.
- But wait, I thought Celebrimbor agreed to go back and make the rings because Sauron agreed he would save his city and spare its people... but now Celebrimbor is trying to escape as if it wasn't his choice to go back? - in the middle of an Orc invasion, rubble everywhere, dead bodies everywhere. 5 elves walk up to celebrimbor who has literally just been hit by an explosion and is passed out on the floor. The elves say "look what he has done to himself". That is such a bizzar thing to say given the circumstances. Again the audience knowns what Celebrimbor has just done to himself, the writers know. The characters should not know this. - Dumb, the elves who literally just betrayed Celebrimbor, they were about to lock him up, called him an "old fool" they said the new lord of Eregion is Lord Anatar... 2minutes 30 seconds Celebrimbor has his "Im going to stay in the city" rousing moment and the Elves suddenly side with him "He will not be alone" and all step forward. - cool Cave Troll :) - kinda weird you dont see the killing blow on the cave troll... - I guess I can forgive 2hours passing in about 15 seconds in order to show the sunrise - Elrond ignores an order from the king to form ranks and attack, instead he is kneeling on the floor looking at the sunrise talking to himself, thats not weird. - oh good Arondir is dead... or is he? Despite my complaints, probably the best episode yet. The VFX and production value was great, the battle was pretty good. Its just the script has so many silly moments, 5/10
The river instantly dried and We got the Temu verison of the Rohan Charge... So lame
Temu version of Boromir’s arrow death scene too,
This is what I mean, now all of a sudden real life physics comes into play.
To be fair it took some minutes to dry and perhaps in teh world of the show some hours passed, But nice that the river is not just spilling over the rocks. Good river, just read the script and stayed behind the impromptu dam
definitely says in the art of war when choosing your battle ground to choose the most wet and muddy ground possible during your siege.
Didn't you see the slurry bit with the horses sinking? It didn't dry up.

extended versions are often playing in the background of my house
Except it wasn't a big battle, it was just a small battle zoomed in a lot
Shots like 4:00 look good and big, and they're even more realistic than some of Jackson's with stretched-out battle lines in the distance instead of the large clumps in the Siege Of Minas Tirith, for example. But the shockingly incompetent editing and cinematography ruin everything, like the zoomed-out shots showing the few actors on set (I roared with laughter when they showed 2.5 elves charging). In contrast, Jackson's were expertly shot and edited to convey scale.
actually like 10 very tiny one on one battles
It flip flops between looking huge and looking like 2 villages fighting each other
Just finished watching it. The battle scene was slow as f*ck , characters dying who had zero build up for us to care , the pacing seemed off , the tactics seemed off. Compare this to Helms Deep and it’s actually laughable. Gutted because the Sacking of Eregion could of been so epic and they HAD THE BUDGET TO DO IT !
Could HAVE been
The sacking of Eregion was done better in Third Age Total War mods than in a Billion dollar show rofl.
Everything is so slow, but when they bring-up character development, it's like they get scared we're gonna fall asleep
And yea you mean "could've been" (you just spelled it phonetically)
I literally laughed out loud when the Asian lady elf was lazily re-introduced, told that a single arrow can make all the difference, then OF COURSE later she is hit by 3-4 arrows, falls, then stands up again to deliver the coup-de-grace fuel barrel shot before she died - ALL IN SLOW MO.
Check the subreddit for this show. They LOVE everything about it.
The smallest criticism? You'll get downvoted to the point of being unable to post there again.
I pity them more often than not, THIS was the hill they chose to die on? 💀 💀
thats the amazon subreddit. check out rings_of_power subreddit instead.
It is probably run by ring of power pr people.
I just went there after reading your comment. They are all brain-dead.
Oof. I went into this show wanting & hoping to enjoy it, buts its all been empty spectacle, bad character writing, weak secondary characters, poorly compressed timeline... just incredibly high-budget cringey mid to me.
As if the orc "ma wife! ma kids!" bit wasn't bad enough. holy fuck this is a historic failure of a series. we thought the GoT collapse was bad... Amazon said hold my beer
Thou this series was never good
Hmmm I think that is an exaggeration. The fall of got was much worse, partially due to the show actually having excellent writing for the first half and then The slow and steady decline into trash
I dunno, both of them were fanfictions from the start, book readers of Song of Ice and Fire know what I mean, however, Game of thrones first four seasons, had better dialogue and better pace as a show against whatever ROP has shown us so far. GoT was definitelly better as a show for sure.
hoenstly would still say the GOT is worse simply cause ti went from peak to trash. this has been trash since the first sentence spoken.
You have to build something first for it to collapse…this series didn’t even lay a foundation nevermind being built up to something that would even be able to collapse 😂😂😂
i love how payne and mckay were building up the troll dude and he literally appeared in two scenes in the whole season and went out like a bitch.
@@Adam-xg1ch Bear McCreary even made a special OST with a personalized cover just for the troll, and he just dies like that 😂 😂 LMAOAO
@@BehuraStudio lol he had to have had 2 minutes of screen time.
The editing of his death scene is also bafflingly dogshit... can't even tell how he fucking died cause it just oscillates between close ups of his and elronds face, and I guess gil galad stabbed him offscreen
Yeah but Damrod's heavy metal score was worth it, "crush, crush ..." MESHUGGAH done it good.
"oh no, dont release *him* he will kill our men too"
Literally kills like 3 orks and 4 elves. Thats it 😂
The biggest miss was Gil-galad. He’s like a super soldier in battle. If he was as powerful as in the book, he could have soloed all the orcs in this episode 😂
He wasn't even negotiating with Adar. They basically wrote him out of the show
I laughed my ass off at the few scenes of him just wondering around looking confused
I didn't think it would happen but it's officially crossed into "so bad it's funny" territory for me. The wimpy orcs with the "daddy doesn't love me" angle is weird as fuck but it's funny watching them repeatedly try to humanize the orcs right before they get slaughtered lol. Crazy fkn writing
Yeah, I actually started watching the show AFTER I have heard how awful it is. It's basically theatrical comedy at this point, almost satire based into LOTR.
I actually don't mind the idea of humanizing the orcs. The problem is the lack of commitment. One moment they are real people with real problems, the next one of the is gleefully slitting the throat of a horse and drinking its blood
Ikr? I feel the same. SoM and SoW games did perfectly in regards to there being more to orcs. Your bodyguard saving you, the concept of Blood Brothers, Ratbag and "Ranger". Even in Two Towers you get a glimpse of them wanting something more... But that doesn't make them good people, or soft.
This show had a ton of good ideas which would've hit hard if they were executed well. But they weren't. If they wanted us to relate to an orc, why didn't they have Glúg (Mr. Inconsistent Family Man) freeing Galadriel? "Shut your gob and go." Why didn't they show Galadriel in captivity longer, where she can observe the orcs? Sorry but seeing an orc funeral parallel to that guy slitting the horse's throat kinda defeats the chance for some semblance of sympathy. The writers bit off way more than they can chew, and it's a damn shame. I don't hate the show, but I can see what it could've been in the hands of more experienced writers.
I finished watching the review and realized throughout that I'm grasping a straws here lol. Like, I'm looking for logic in their writing where there's none. Just good ideas done very, very poorly
Also i have to mention the entire calvary was just decimated? Off screen?
Just Like the Calvary last season Dont think about or how many horses and how few ship there are lol
Cavalry* I used to think it was spelled like that too lol what makes us think that
lmao I just noticed that to look back at the episode, they literally had entire Calvary unite and they are nowhere to be found in the episode
They really sold the cavalry charging in trailer only to be called off 5s before the impact, man this show really subvert expactation in worse way 😂
Don't worry, they'll pull a Game of Thrones and they will magically regenerate somewhere else
"For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race....But they were all of them deceived.....for another ring was made"
....no they weren't deceived the elves and dwarves realised the rings were evil within a few days they were made.....Good job rings of power...
Perhaps Celbrimborium should have told someone, taht the 9 rings were made of Satan's blood...
I dont think the dwarves realized the rings were evil. The reason they didnt turn into wraiths is that the dwarves love for gold overcomes everything else, even Sauron's corruption. That's why only men got turned into wraiths : The elves took their rings off the moment they sensed Sauron created the One Ring, and the Dwarves simply couldnt be corrupted by it.
@@andresantos3487 You literally have Durin saying Sauron made the rings and calling them evil
Actually the Elves didn't realize anything was wrong with the rings until Sauron completed the One Ring years later and was attempting to bind the other Great Rings to its power. They heard Sauron speaking in their minds and immediately took off the rings at that point. Two of the Three most powerful, that had been made without Sauron's involvement, were sent for safekeeping to Gil-galad in Lindon (he gave one to Cirdan, who would in the Third Age then give his to Gandalf,) and the other to Galadriel in Lothlorien. The dwarves (who had seven) were mostly immune to Sauron's mind control and the rings only made them more aggressive and greedier. They kept their rings on until four of them were literally eaten/melted by Dragons. Sauron retook two more and a third in the Third Age. The Nine that Sauron eventually gave to the Men who would become the Ring Wraiths seemingly weren't worn beforehand by others.
AFAIK, Sauron gave seven rings to the Dwarf Kings of their respective clans, and while he couldn't directly control them, the chaos they created in the long run caused by the avarice they instilled benefited Sauron anyway. Eventually they would ruin the dwarves. He was never able to claim the three rings that the elves kept, and after Sauron was defeated at the end of the Second Age, they were free to wear and use the power of those rings.
Best quote "I don't know man, this is stupid." Appreciate the recaps and the fun content! Also, the damn elves take 5 or 6 episodes to travel to the elf forge, but the dwarves come and go several times... WTF!!! Terrible show runners/writers! They are as bad as the Witcher bozo's.
Omg I have been saying this. Dwarfs coming and going, Galadriel taling weeks to get there, and now saying she knows a secret dwarf tunnel???? Ahahaha wtf.
Good point about that... Also sauron got to them and back in the span of less of one episode, if I remember correctly?
... Just seriously dumb
7/10… 5/10…? Joe are you drunk? This shit is a 3/10 TOPS!

-3/10
More towards 8 for me, the other few were a 7. Yes i agree, it is basically a hate-4-clicks channel. They exaggerate every criticism and snippet. They have a foregone conclusion beforehand and then evolve into it then at the end Joe screams some more, Alex puts on his sad low brows and short guy, well i don't think he knows where he is. All scripted nonsense.
I've been increasingly frustrated with the scores. I'm wondering if I need to move on. I don't say it lightly cos I like them.
I can't wait for them to introduce smegal into this show for no other reason than HEY MEMBER
Actually I thought that Nobody will get a name from the fat halfing and the name was Smeagol. Although it could still happen!!
@@Faktor13 that would be turnign a dark skined dude into a whtie dude so they ain't going that angle XDXD.
the very diea is als ostupid cause it was centuries before smeagol found it.
The battle was "ok" but there were so many stupid moments that kinda ruined it, from archers just having quivers that never seem to empty, to a giant troll getting knocked over by something 1/20th his weight, to the king of the elves showing up for no particular reason with no reinforcements?
7/10??? Joe is turning into IGN 💀
His channel is shit these days lol guys lost 1000 subs
Finally, I found out my problem with the show, and I'll use the elves to prove it theure just so sauceless. Now, what do I mean? Look back at the older movies and look at how when they fight, they flow and are fast yet precise and elegant, even the normal soldier. Arondir is like the only elf that even matches that vibe, and now he's dead because of petty revenge writing.
Not sure if he is dead, not sure if the troll is dead either
They gave Sauron fucking FORCE POWERS. It totally ruins his evil cunning sorta deceit type of character cause now he can just straight up MIND CONTROL six elves at once. And this is without even having the one ring.
To be honest, Sauron should be and is capable of a lot more than that. This show nerfed him into the ground. There's no way the 2nd dark lord, by most accounts the most powerful Maiar, gets ganked by like 20 orcs. The show is very inconsistent with what he can do.
@@wolfsbane9985No I agree with that, that was totally ridiculous that some orcs killed his physical form. But he should NOT be able to straight up just take control of six elves like he’s “blood bending” from avatar. That is totally not the kind of magic that is in Tolkien’s world.
@@reddeadcharactercreations7884 that's true, I cant think of any time something like that ever happened. It'd be more acceptable if they were disintegrated like he later does to Gil Galad
The lack of your faith in my ring is disturbing. Yes a Balrog is powerful but it is nothing compared to my ring.
Crazy, he could literally take over middle earth, atleast 6 at a time .... why even make the rings?
That is the most fragile mountain ever! A couple of rocks and it comes tumbling down!
and it's also like a few miles away lol. so bad
Let's not forget the one big rock was laying against a tiny rock not even connected to the mountain it's just been laying against this tiny rock for decades makes no sense
and if you look at the real maps of middle earth, there shouldn't even be a mountain
The Elves and Orcs act like humans. They're trying to make us care about the orcs which is really stupid. Instead of chopping each others heads off and saying "Looks like meats back on the menu boys!" and eating each other, we get Orcs asking Adar if he still loves them and why do they have to fight. Instead of fearless badass Elves, we get a bunch of idiots running around scared of their own shadows.
If I want to reexperience the LOTR I'll just watch the extended versions of the trilogy. I'd even watch the Hobbit trilogy before this mess

You clearly haven't seen Owe Boll's battles or 90s oversaturated CGI overloads. Don't get me wrong, they're terrible in RoP, but you should keep things in proportion.
I love that Adar called Elrond a nerd
I don’t know who’s the bigger troll the writers of this show or the one we see on screen.
I imagine the writers eat fast food and look like those trolls in real life
Definitely the writers
TOLKIEN: Galadriel married Celeborn. Elrond marries Celebrian and have Arwen together.
AMAZON: Let’s have Elrond kiss his Mother-in-Law and have the music swell and them closing their eyes.
Yes it was to pass the brooch but it was a romantic kiss and didn’t have its place at all in a Tolkien story. How about the good ol’ forehead kiss or a hug? Oh and BY THE WAY, Celeborn was supposed to be in the battle of Eregion!
Ty for the insight and have a like. They definitely definitely could have done something else but they probably didn't want to.
she's his great aunt as well
Your talking as if you never kissed your mother before, on the lips...

So do I.
He'll change his review he said that over and over. He said hates the show and wants it to fail. He will never give the final verdict a good score he hates it. You hate it too. Everyone on his channel generally hates it and everything like it. No worry. He will say he hates it or people will unsubscribe. It's considered by many as the worst series in history. So many hate it. There is nothing worst than it according to reviews.
@@nichescenesThank you liking this show would have been an insult
Show is ass. It just really bad fan fiction. Siege of eregion doesnt even happen for 97 years after the 1 ring is forged. Its just garbage. Galadriel isnt even supposed to be here. There are maybe 30 elves in the whole city. Is the elven army still marching to Mordor when the high king is there. If Elrond decides not to stop and run the orcs over.. yea main stupid chick dies but he saves the city and he captures sauron... So risked all middle earth to save a dumb teenage 3000 year old elf. Also lets still not forget that Galadriel is the second oldest elf in the second age...... hate this woman
Hate-fiction. I cannot for the life of me believe that this is made by fans of LotR.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the accent that they gave to Tom Bombadil? I would have preferred him to have more of an Irish accent, more high pitched, because he's constantly happy. Such a jolly guy.
I don’t think it’s the accent, it’s the delivery. They made him like the most serious character. Whereas in the books he is the MOST free-spirited, unbothered person. Gandalf even thinks if they give him the one ring he would end up just misplacing it like it were a business card or something, lol.
Because Yorkshire doesn't exist?!
As a german I can assure you, the show looses much in translation
He looks like a bearded lady in a circus
5/10??? What?
Okey, it's +1 for there wasn't any harfoots in this episode.
It's +1 for there wasn't numenorians and their totally useless storyline.
And the last but not least, there wasn't Theo! It's +1.
So it makes 3/10.
The battle felt small. GOT battles were huge and characters felt like they were n danger. This felt empty
I thought it would have been 10x better if when Celebrimbor was escaping his workshop and fell, it had actually been Sauron. If it had actually been Sauron who gave that speech to Galadriel, and told her that he was escaping with the rings to protect them, and for her to go confront Sauron at the workshop (actually Celebrimbor), it would have been the first time in the show where he could have been a great deceiver and not just some reddit-tier gaslighter.

I'm shocked by 7 out of 10. You spent the entire first portion slamming the show. I think you either need to reevaluate your opening 20 minutes or change your score Joe. The words out of your mouth don't equate to a 7 out of 10.

And what do you not understand about ranting for 20 minutes that the show sucked and that even the cool parts of the episode were ruined by how bad the everything else sucked. Why even give it a temporary 7 that we be lowered at another point when nobody will actually see it. Say it is a 6 and I am going to lower all of my other scores. I stick by what I said.

If it's not Gandalf, then they spent all this time purposely trying to convince the audience it IS Gandalf that it wouldn't even make sense and they're just trying to "surprise" the audience and it'd just be dumb. They've written themselves into an incredibly stupid corner, somehow.
Just as dumb as trying to convince the audience Halbrand's identity in the first season was somehow a mystery.
If you want a laugh go back to the 10:05 mark and individually watch each of those small fights on the wall and just LOOK at the choreography, it's hilarious. My favourite is the missed sword attack and reactions on the far left and the guy being flung against the wall by a ghost on the right, 10/10 acting, what a great take team, pack it up for lunch xD
I noticed that immediately during the episode haha wtf
In no universe is anything this "show" has produced anywhere close to 7.
Each week I'm starting to question why I'm watching these reviews.
I'm sure ign would give it a 7 if not higher, if they could 😂😂😂
It depends which universe LOTR is in right now.... welcome to the mult-ringverse
Billion dollar franchise... ONE big battle per season is incompetence lol
That's not entirely true. The movies built up towards the big battles, the rest were either small skirmishes or character building. Having not too many battles is totally fine. Hell, i'd argue that if you put too many in, it falls short. Look at the final seasons of GoT. It got more action and battles, yet people disliked them the most.
More or less battles isn't what makes this incompetent.
GoT had one big battle episode a season and that was fine… IF the dialogue and lead up is good. RoP has horrifically bad setup
@@bencarlson4300 hell, GOT season 1 was supposed to have the Battle of the Green Fork the showrunners couldn’t afford it, but they KNEW it wasn’t as important as the rest of the story, and so wisely left it out
no, its fair, this was movie scale production and probably expensive as shit.
@@jayjay24155 But was it worth $700 million?
Haven't watched a single RoP episode. But have watched every single Angry Review
I'm so happy that I haven't watched a single episode :)
This show is made for the Gen Z crowd where everything has to include romances etc..
Lmao. I’m surprised every character doesn’t have a broccoli hair cut
The big battle in ROP is just a series of grandiose speeches and great armies charging, giving that sense of anticipation of "shit is about to go down" only to suddenly stop when something dumb happens, and then no battle takes place. There are at least two blueball moments: first elves charging on horseback, slo-mo and everything, only to suddenly stop 5 ft from the battle in order to parlay... and the dwarves having THE speech that makes them all cry battlecries in dwarvish... only to suddenly stop and they cancel the whole march off screen.
There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery.
This has to end. It is all the bad words i can't write on youtube anymore to describe it.
I quite literally hate it and i know that is a strong word for "some show", but it is nothing less.
Don't watch it. I don't. Couldn't give 2 sh*ts about and I'm a giant LOTR fan. I just enjoy watching the boys dying inside having to review it for content lol.
30:35 That little piece of rock conveniently holding for dear life against the giant piece of mountain made me scream at the screen so much I discovered octaves I didn't even know I had.
The biggest battle is here, epic fail. Well this will be interesting
Bet it will take 5 episodes for Numeonr to sink and everyone is standy akwardly in knee deep water for hours
Calibrimbor gets out of the spell from the window breaking but the walls are literally on the ground from getting bombarded from the seige... makes no sense
Shadows of War cutscenes are so much better 👌
Joe managed to mis pronounce a name, Tolkien, almost immediately. Shit cracks me up so much
Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers 😅
Thanks Joe i needed something to lighten up the mood a bit :)
The longer i think about this show, the more i despise it. And i never liked it to begin with.
Remember when the white wizard Bin Laden and his talibans stormed Helms Deep?
@@liveac3694 "i walked through blood and bones in the streets of Minas Tirith to find my brother... he was in the Shire.." -Norm Macdonald
The giant troll falling over that easily, comparing to the mass of horses or the mass of an elf, is like if a grown man fell on the ground due to being charged by a hamster.
Have a shot for each time there’s a memberberry in this show
'Y....you's a crool man ssssirrrr'
Gives me something interesting to do whilst watching the show:
- solid opening scene Celebrimbor
- Durin and Disa protecting the rock is a bit silly
- Elrond teleported 500 miles to tell Durin exactly what's happening, then teleports home to grab the king, then teleports to the battle with an army.
- After the Elf archers are shooting arrows at will the elf commander gives a command to "release arrows"
- Why is the unarmed, unarmored elf girl up on the battlements informing the captain "they have a ravager" when there are 20 armored elves literally watching battlefield.
- Celebrimbor realizes he is in the matrix when he sees the same mouse! the candle trick was better, more original.
- Oh good scene! Sauron forces Celebrimbor to kill the elven girl. (Now I know why Celebrimbor's priority was to find her)
- As Elrond exits his meeting with Adar, in the middle of the orc camp, he tells the other Elf soldier the entire plan about how the dwarves are coming. That is a stupid thing to talk about in the middle of an orc camp with 6 orcs within 2 meters.
- Durin gives a speech to a room of 50 dwarves rather than a crowed of 2000 outside that room.
- Elrond launched a catapult at Eregion because its a cool way to kill an orc
- Fighting pauses so Elrond can have a scene with his dead horse
- lol there is a scene at 37:00 where the orcs have just breached the wall. If you look closely you will notice an orc picks up a 1ft thick heavy stone block like its just Styrofoam...
- How is it that everyone now knows for sure there is definitely a "beast" if we dig a little deeper.
- "If you take that army to Eregion now, Kazadun might not be here when you return" Why? How could anyone possibly know that a Balrog might wipe out the entire Kazadun while Durin is gone? We know, the writers know. The characters should not know this.
- But wait, I thought Celebrimbor agreed to go back and make the rings because Sauron agreed he would save his city and spare its people... but now Celebrimbor is trying to escape as if it wasn't his choice to go back?
- in the middle of an Orc invasion, rubble everywhere, dead bodies everywhere. 5 elves walk up to celebrimbor who has literally just been hit by an explosion and is passed out on the floor. The elves say "look what he has done to himself". That is such a bizzar thing to say given the circumstances. Again the audience knowns what Celebrimbor has just done to himself, the writers know. The characters should not know this.
- Dumb, the elves who literally just betrayed Celebrimbor, they were about to lock him up, called him an "old fool" they said the new lord of Eregion is Lord Anatar... 2minutes 30 seconds Celebrimbor has his "Im going to stay in the city" rousing moment and the Elves suddenly side with him "He will not be alone" and all step forward.
- cool Cave Troll :)
- kinda weird you dont see the killing blow on the cave troll...
- I guess I can forgive 2hours passing in about 15 seconds in order to show the sunrise
- Elrond ignores an order from the king to form ranks and attack, instead he is kneeling on the floor looking at the sunrise talking to himself, thats not weird.
- oh good Arondir is dead... or is he?
Despite my complaints, probably the best episode yet. The VFX and production value was great, the battle was pretty good. Its just the script has so many silly moments, 5/10
You've got to much time on your hands to write a comment that long lol
A seven Joe!? Are you fucking high!?
I love that tropic thunder scene when that elf gets shot over and over again.
