Critic Reviews

Short review 4 min read English The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Rings of Power (2022) Review: Grand Vistas, Thin Story

The Rings of Power is Prime Video's Second Age Tolkien prequel, a visually lavish fantasy epic whose sprawling cast and stately pacing keep it from true greatness.

Mostly yes, for Middle-earth fans who want to spend time in Tolkien's world at a luxurious scale. Viewers who need tight plotting and brisk pacing may drift away.
