Partings

Cringing acting and a whole episode filled with predictable tropes and uninspired dialogues.

The episode only picks up at the very end. Everything else was lost in useless exposition. In a series of this scale, once you reach episode 5 and the epic tone gets lost like this is sad. And every single time I see the hobbits appear on screen it reminds me of how many good actors are out there looking for a job that would have made these characters more believable.

Plus, how have they spent 30 millions in making this episode that remains a total mystery.

And the soundtrack also (plus a song) is not that creative. They could have explored a bit more instead of coming up with themes that 'have to be LOTR' fitting.

Another episode like this and I will stop watching.

Ep5 of Rings of Power is pretty much the exact same as the previous episodes. Average. For the most expensive TV show in history, it really does severely lack in writing and acting. This is the most boring episode so far, even though it does have some good moments;

Elrond and Druin are the best characters, they have a great on screen friendship that reminds me a little of Legolas and Gimli, they have great banter and ever scene with them in it, is the highlight. Even though Galadriel is dull and boring, I enjoyed the little sparring scene where she actually showed a different emotion other than frown - joy and playfullness. It was a good scene. The scenes with the Harfoots was ok I guess, nothing special as with the scenes in the Tower.

I know many people have compared this show with House of the Dragon, I can't help but do so to. We are also 5 episodes into that show, and yet we have fallen in love with the charcaters, and care about the story. Here, everything is just dull. There are no stakes, no tension, and no care for anyone the TV show wants us to care about. EP5: Partings is just the same old slow story with little happening. I don't think the show is bad, by any means, some of the bad reviews are a bit extreme. But I am keepiing my hopes up, that the show will improve, since Middle-earth is one of the greatest fictional places ever created.

C'mon creators and writers, you can do better than this.

It've been 5 episodes till now and the show keeps on disappointing, now don't get me wrong it's not a terrible show, but it's not good as well, it's just watchable. There are some really good characters in terms of performance, dialogues and their part of the story is interesting such as lord Elrond the elve and Durin the dwarf, their relationship is worth watching, with Elrond being the best character in the show . Galadrial on the other hand has a really weird writing her purpose makes zero sense her dialogues are lame and the performance is... I won't say bad i don't know who can play a character with this bad writing in a way that will actually make it bearable. The Hobbits part is fine not great but not bad, we are still half the way through the season so i won't judge the story but things don't look promising.

I don't know why they didn't spent a bigger portion of that 1 billion dollars they have been talking about for years on writing, the visual effects can vary from really good to just fine, but nothing outstanding.

So yeah the lord of the rings is disappointing till this moment which is episode 5, maybe the next episodes will prove me wrong, but until then iam not happy with it.

This episode is the worst so far by a stretch, it's as if the producers believe that this series can't fail but it's been very hit and miss so far this first season. This episode is quite boring lots of talking and not much happening and the music is very dramatically overlayed over generic underwhelming scenes. PRODUCERS Game of Thrones was much betterthan this expensive bore. I can tell this series is building upto a big event but there isnt much impact from the intended scenes, some the actors are poorly picked in my opinionand let down the talented members of the cast, this show needs to grow up or its doomed im sorry to say.

When? And how long ?

When will this show ever become soo enticing that I will stop skipping 10seconds forward few times in each episode? No, I am not missing anything during these moments, rather I am saving my soul from crushing thought of how 700mln$ was wasted to film this?

My whole house lights so brightly every time they show Galadriel and Numenor, my neighbors might be thinking we are having a short circuit. Every episode gets brighter and brighter even if darkness encircles Middle Earth.

Oh God, Morfydd's expressions are killing me. Smiling, smirking, crying? Cant differentiate. Couldn't find a spot for Cate Blanchett in that 700mln$ budget?

Few episodes left, I have lost all my hope. Time to bow to Sauron.
