Lord Of The Ring's: Rings of Power - TV Series on Prim

Now a show with those 2 would be fun.

Better than the hobbit surely..

The 3rd was far from a critical success and is actually rated Rotten.
 
Record breaking revenue all 3 brought it.
Keep trying though.

Quickly moved the goal posts....

The highest revenue earned is the first film which is ranked 47th.

It's a book shorter than any of the LotR books and 2 films would have been perfect.

Was Lord of the Rings profitable?
The Lord of the Rings is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential film series ever made. It was a major financial success and is among the highest-grossing film series of all time with $2.991 billion in worldwide receipts.

The Lord of the Rings (film series)

Googling s*** to shut down bs is to easy
 
Moving away from The hobbit now. End Game nearly did that by itself...
 
Despite the conversation clearly being about The Hobbit trilogy(which you knew).... sure.
 
I've never said they weren't. But the book isn't long enough to warrant 3 films. The original 2 film plan would have been better and avoided all the filler.

The 3rd film failed to justify its existence.

Flip side anything less than 3 would have hurt LotRs story.

$$$ is why.
I will agree they started getting long in the tooth.
 
Caught up on this last night. I enjoyed it, was great being back in Middle Earth and the cast has grown on me. Crazy how great this series looks and the money behind it.

When you realize where they’ve been this whole time in the Southlands holy s***!
 
Just to add, my hope for a hobbit trilogy was to actually see the battle of five armies. If anything, I feel like the second film runs a bit too long, but I was pretty satisfied with the third film and how they wrapped all the side plots. For me, the thing that keeps me coming back are the actual performances, more whimsical nature, and dialogue. Each film has moments and dialogue that just hit me emotionally similar to how LOTR did, and that's part of what makes both trilogies so rewatchable to me.

I do hear that there was a rumor that the main reason Jackson decided on a trilogy was due to the fact that WETA studios couldn't afford to stay open with just two films, and the third extra payment allowed them to come out the whole thing with a profit. Of course, that's more indicative of WB's greed than anything else, if that rumor is true, a third film is more than justified to keep the studio who in my opinion are the real reason for Middle Earth's movie success.

As for this series, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Obviously the production is on another level. I'm not sure we'll ever see something so expensive made ever again. While it hasn't quite reached the emotional highs of either LOTR or Hobbit for me quite yet, I was really happy with the battle episode. Apparently the season finale is already around the corner. I feel like we could have gotten some more episodes for a first season like this, but I'm excited to see how the first season ends.

Enjoyed Rings of power. I only thought a couple episodes were really standout, but overall I liked it.
There is one YouTube channel, Nerdrotic I think, and dude he is so bitter lol. I don’t get how people can hate a movie/series so much. It doesn't make sense to me.

There is a million of those channels and they all make videos about the same 3 or 4 shows/movies. Easy way to grift.

Great season 1 finale, went how I think most of us expected it to but it was done well. It has been renewed all the way through its 5th season so it'll be back but apparently, it'll be about 2 years before season to starts airing. They'll need to speed that up for future seasons, two-year gaps during the pandemic when everyone had them is one thing, two-year gaps now can run the risk of people losing interest.
