The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series was released before the weekend started after so many trailers featuring sweeping vistas and talks about what it would be. You can read our review of the show here, but it's no secret that this show has been the talk of the town for weeks, with several critics and audiences alike having found themselves pretty impressed by the television debut of Middle-earth. Amazon is going to break out the fine china and sing the show's milestone.
Rings of Power has attracted over 25 million viewers around the world, making it the biggest premiere in the history of Prime Video. The success of the show has led us to this proud moment, and it was fitting that it washelmed byPatrick McKay andJD Payne.
Good news must be followed by bad news. As Amazon basks in Rings of Power's success, it's also suspending reviews for the show on Rotten Tomatoes. An Amazon rep told The Hollywood Reporter that this was a practice that the company began back in the summer. The reason is to make sure that reviews are legit and not part of a scheme by racist or sexist troll, as was the case with She-Hulk and Ms. There are a lot of half or one star stars with very short blurbs on why the show didn't work for them.
It will take time for the user reviews to be sorted out, but if you want to see the show yourself, you should bite the bullet. Either you like it or you want to watch House of the Dragon again. You get the idea. Let us know what you think of Rings of Power if you've seen it.
