The whole series is no good. It is meant for children, which are generally the only people who do not mind the inconsistencies.
Now, for the good:
The cinematography is excellent, great costumes, quaint settings. The music is unobtrusive.
Now, for the bad:
The characters are flat, one dimensional. The obstacles are nonsensical, one doesn't lead to the next. They are events; not a story. As the protagonist(s) reaches the goal, he or she should be going through a series of situations that lead to the conclusion in a certain order. None of that here. All obstacles are independent of each other. They can readily be substituted for others. The protagonists are placed in an impossible situation. They cannot win. But they do not because of any qualities of their or things that could be referred back to. They win because of the help of armies of trees and the undead that we do not know existed until near the end. They harm the storyline just like an accident would. Also, the love scenes are pathetic. There is no development. One can't feel the growth of the romantic relationships. It is completely lacking. And last, the ring itself. How ridiculous. If one is going to give an inanimate object special power, you have to show how that came about. No such thing.
I only watched till the end because I told someone I would.
