I didn't watch it so I have no opinion so far. But, I also hear people say "Netflix is a wasteland of unfinished shows" but I still like a lot of shows and movies on Netflix.
In a way, these people portray it as so shitty that when I do watch these shows I enjoy them. To these naysayers high expectation was met with disappointment. For their readers who watch it anyways, low expectations are met with enjoyable mediocrity.
I don't care how much money is spent on it, does it entertain me? Can I turn off my brain for a few hours and watch this? That's my low bar.
This is based on tolkein's work, these stories are obviously not written by him. The audience is also basically every prime subscriber not a nice audience of fantasy book readers tokein wrote for. The culture and social dynamics have also changed a lot since the early 2000s movies.
I mean, I was shocked when people were hating the hobbit, it was in some ways better than at least "the two towers".

- flumpcakes 4y agoI'm glad Amazon has set aside a vast quantity of money to see this show through and not cancel if after one season.
- danjoredd 4y ago>it was in some ways better than at least "the two towers" Im gonna have to disagree. Overall it was decent, but the pacing was horrible. As well, adapting a childrens book to be gritty leads to a lot of tonal problems that I had problems with. The Two Towers, at least in my opinion, is the best movie in the Jackson series. Especially when you factor in the emotions of Theoden King when he lost his son, and the fact that it was all his fault he died. He was the one who listened to Wormtongue, and banished him. Pair that with the highs and lows of the Battle of Helms Deep, and you got an emotional masterpiece! I didn't get any of that from any of the Hobbit movies.
