It must be said that the show is at the rendezvous in this new creation, available this Friday, and which still cost the trifle of a billion dollars.
Impressive visual effects and breathtaking backdrops that make it feel like looking at paintings.
Aesthetically, it is flawless in the image of the palaces of the elves, finely carved, nestled in a sparkling forest, but also scenes of war where evil creatures swarm.
A gripping story
This quality was needed to serve the legendary and rich world of Tolkien.
We remember the films of Peter Jackson, with their extremely sophisticated production, which had won 17 Oscars.
As for the story, it is particularly gripping.
We are 4,000 years before the story told in
The Lord of the Rings
, but the mythical villain, the wizard Sauron, already exists and threatens the whole gallery of characters, from elves to hobbits.
On the other hand, on the distribution side, no well-known actor took part in the filming.
The opportunity to discover new faces which also make it possible to make some savings on this billion euros injected in the following four seasons.
