Specials Review
Premiering on Prime Video beginning September 1st is the highly anticipated new series ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.’The new show is based on the work of author J. R. R. Tolkien, and is set thousands of years before the events of 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings.' Specifically based on Tolkien's history of Middle-earth, the series begins during a time of peace after the great war, and is set to cover all the major events of Middle-earth's Second Age, including the forging of the Rings of Power.
Created by J.D. Payne, Patrick McKay, and J.A. Bayona, the new series includes Elves Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo), who were played by Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving, respectively, in the Peter Jackson movies. The show also introduces never before seen Tolkien characters like High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur), and Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards).
The result is a breathtakingly beautiful looking series with some wonderful
