Is it wrong that I'm expecting more from this than the Amazon series?

But considering how Kamiyama fallen with recent works - I still be cautiously pessimistic. |

More Tolkien is fine by me. If Amazon's Rings of Power is a success, perhaps we will get Morgoth's story and see half a continent sink below the waves.

All the fan-fiction that is Rings of Power was made just because they got materials from a few drafts and supplemental books to the LOTR itself - and even that took a eight-digit number to purchase the rights. |

Re the question of whether the film will be CG, the answer is reportedly no - it'll be 2D. That's what the producer Jason Demarco, an Adult Swim executive, said on his Twitter feed (Spiral Curse Demarco) when the film was announced last year, and he gave the same answer just today to an inquiry on the subject -
https://twitter.com/Cwagz1892/status/1493388832657522691 The film is being animated by Sola Entertainment, which is indeed the parent company of Sola Digital Arts, which animated the CG series of Ultraman, SAC_2045 and Black Lotus. But LOTR may be being made by a different division of Sola Entertainment, or by a studio outsourced from it. Notably, LOTR’s production studio is listed on Sola’s own website as “Sola Entertainment/TBC.” http://sola-ent.com/works/lotr-the-war-of-the-rohirrim/ |

This could prove to be worthwhile they better bring their A game in the casting department.

It's a pretty good story and it comes from one of the Appendixes to LotR. It *could* be a good movie, and maybe they'll explain some of why the Dunlendings hate the Rohirrim.

It’s way too early to make a judgment call either way, but I am more optimistic knowing it’s 2D.

Amazon series is WOKE! So it will suck and they will GO BROKE! But this film will be NO JOKE! 
Nah seriously who knows how either will turn out. Blade Runner Black Lotus was nothing to wrote home about. Dark Crystal Age of Resistance was dope though. |

If I had to put money on it, I would bet The Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power will be a dumpster fire. - Someone arriving by meteorite to mix with Hobbits (when there is no record of Hobbits until approximately 1,000 T.A. in the Vales of Anduin, and no meteorites other than the one Ëol made swords from). 
- Galadriel being an action figure heroine, and being stuck in a boat with a man.
- Compressing the timeline.
- Creating a sister for Isildur and having him join the "navy".
- Elves with Super Mario abilities (e.g., snatching an arrow out of the air).
It will not surprise me in the least if they have a love triangle between a Hobbit, an Ent, and a Great Eagle.

-That's how Wizards came to Middle Earth and that was a Harfoot a predecessor to Hobbits. - Galadriel's original home is next to the ocean when she first comes to Middle Earth. Also the fact that she goes toe to toe with the spirit of Sauron in the Hobbit movies implies she's spent time in her past fighting. - A story spanning thousands of years is hard to tell when half the cast only lives a small fraction of that time. - There's no detailed story of his entire life so nothing says he can't be on a ship. - Did you already completely ignore what Legolas has done in the movies? |

The Istari (Wizards) sailed from Valinor to Middle Earth and landed in the Grey Havens, which gave Nówë (Círdan) a chance to pass Narya (Ring of Fire) on to Olórin (Gandalf). Galadriel's original home is Valinor in Aman. Hobbit movies are not canon. A billion dollars should compensate for a story being hard to tell. Isildur was of course on a ship when fleeing the downfall of Númenor. Tolkien's books (which I read prior to Rankin-Bass The Hobbit existing) are canon, Peter Jackson's movies are not (nor are Khraniteli or Hobitit). Legolas as Super Mario is not canon. |
