>Where’s a wizard to fight trolls when you need one?
>The mega-budget fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is under fire from some of its viewers. A day after the first two episodes of Amazon’s billion-dollar baby debuted on Prime Video, the show’s average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is a “rotten” 37 percent, and reviews on Amazon have been outright suspended.
>Compare that score to TV critics giving the show a very fresh 83 percent average, and many of the reviews were highly enthusiastic (“It’s great: a gorgeously immersive and grandly ambitious spectacle, packed with stunning imagery and compelling plot threads,” wrote TV Line). The Hollywood Reporter dubbed the first two episodes a rather successful, promising start.
>“Review bombing” is when a group of online users post numerous negative reviews for a product or service due to its perceived cultural or political issues rather than its actual quality. Perusing Rotten Tomatoes’ audience reviews for Rings of Power, there are some one-star entries that meet the definition. “They wanted to involve such an important work with current politics and they have succeeded,” reads an example. “Nobody has a problem with seeing people of color in movies, series or stories … but this story was already written and should not have been sullied.” Opined another: “Reflecting world diversity in Middle Earth is an odd goal, albeit good for marketing maybe, but it was clearly more important then [sic] making a functional TV series.”
Do you like the show or not, are they building up a good foundation in the first two episodes? I don't really have much interest in watching this myself but i guess i should to make up my own mind.

visually it's what you'd expect from the most expensive show ever made, but it seems money can't buy compelling performances on screen it's closer to marvel than game of thrones, or even the lord of the rings films
Juan Davis
Last I checked there was just as many 10 star spams as there was 1 stars. Those are obviously good faith reviews though because the product is perfect.
Wyatt Moore
Sadly no. >are they building up a good foundation in the first two episodes? No they're not, they've created a lot of lore and timeline conflicts. We're in almost pure fanfic territory already. My favorite is Elrond must later marry and impregnate his best friend's daughter after watching her grow up. Nice one Elrond, when you can't get first place settle right in for second.

good job chuds for doing free marketing for bezos, now even more normies will be curious about what makes incel nerds seethe so much and watch it
Isaac Green
Problem for Amazon is majority of Helpful reviews on IMBD were the 5/10 and 6/10 ones written by normies. And those got deleted too.
Jace Morales
you're a weird guy, really fucking weird
Elijah Flores

Colton Powell

Austin Allen

Austin Taylor
advertising campaigns on obscure imageboards
Grayson Thomas
Normies do not care at all about the cultural battle between terminally online chuds and trannies. Hard to believe, I know.
Angel Scott
you mean your post? are you having a break down or is your script malfunctioning?
Gabriel Gonzalez
>due to its perceived cultural or political issues rather than its actual quality Thats part of a media products actual quality though?
Chase Martinez
It has niggers in prehistoric Europe, user. It has NIGGER ELVES IN VALINOR and NIGGER DWARVES. Thats not how any of this works. People hating the show will not get it more viewers.
Jaxon Perry
you really are weird, nopne cares about you or your personal experience with this board, no-one know s or cares what you think about it or think you have experienced, you weirdo
Colton Cruz
Yeah it would be better if there was no criticism at all right faggot bro.
Logan Kelly
You are coping. Normal White people have nigger fatigue and even without that, are naturally repulsed by the sight of negroids and wish to live among their own race only.
Sebastian Evans
>It has niggers in prehistoric Europe, user. That is the reason i'm not really interested in watching, although that might make me a racist. Everytime shows do that i always feel they turn out shit.
Levi Gray
IDMB turning off ratings by order of Amazon is clear proof that the capitalists have gone too far, they control the very opinions of people now.
Caleb Johnson
Honestly dystopian as fuck. If you go on IMDB you literally cannot find a written review under 6/10 despite the average score for it being a 6.2. It’s very obvious they removed all written reviews under 6. It’s easier to label these reviews as “bombing” when you can’t read a single well written review pointing out the numerous problems with the show. IMO the biggest one being it’s painfully boring.
Kayden Jackson
Normal people don't see a nigger in a movie and start screeching like an autistic Any Forumslack. Touch grass.
Jacob Kelly
>People hating the show will not get it more viewers. seems you dont understand marketing. Hate=emotional engagement=piqued curiosity in those who would be indifferent otherwise
Ryan Mitchell
writing is garbage and reminds me of The Witcher Season 2
>to its perceived cultural or political issues rather than its actual quality. Stupid out of place diversity ruins it quality
Jeremiah Cook
Canary in the coal mine. If they’re willing to fuck the credibility of their movie review website over this vanity project what else won’t they do? Remember Jeff Bezos owns a newspaper.
