    ... or at least the first half hour of episode 1. Poor dialog, poor acting, poor effects, poor characters, even poor ears on the elves - it doesn't seem to have much going for it at all. Too tedious to watch the rest of the first episode, I don't think I'll watch any more. Any one watched and liked it?

      Yeah we watched the first episode and pretty much came to the same conclusion. Not going to watch any more of them.

        Wow - it was advertise as the most expensive tv series ever... Can't they make some decent ears for that money? It is sad as I'm a fun of Tolkien's work and planed to watch it...

          Well, tastes differ I suppose. I enjoyed it. It's not the greatest show I have ever watched but it was entertaining enough for me.

            We watched the first two episodes last night and quite enjoyed it. Visually appealing, filling in a bit of the lore in LOTR, it was alright.

              I have watched the first two episode and my assessment so far is that "it's ok". What I wasn't too keen on was that the elves dialogue appeared to be in, what I would describe as, something attempting to mimick Shakespearean English - although that seemed to reduce in the second episode, or I became familiar with it. I am not too keen on the 3 or more storyline threads running at the same time, I would rather they stick with one thread without too many cuts - maybe even dedicating each episode to a thread. The cinematography is at least fairly good. #OpinionatedGuy

                  I’m going to watch a few episodes and decide. What bugged me most was that episode one had no resemblance to anything from LOTR or the Silmarillion except for a few of the names.
