My wife and I just finished watching The Rings of Power and both though it was a major dud.
We love the LoTR trilogy and had high hopes for the Rings of Power, but felt the storyline and acting was totally flat.
Great visuals and special effects, but at the end, a big waste of time.
Both Galadriel and Elrond were poorly cast and were difficult to like.
On other note... F Amazon for moving the filming location and production from New Zealand to the UK.
