THE RINGS OF POWER First Reactions Praise Its Stunning Visuals and Brilliant Cast

The return to Middle-earth is almost here. Fans cannot wait to see The Rings of Power when its first two episodes hit Prime Video on September 1 (or September 2, if you are outside the US and Brazil). The Second Age will come to life in a brilliant new way, giving us awesome new characters like the elf Arondir and letting us see others like Galadriel in a different time. The first reactions to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are in, and the series is getting praise for its powerful cast and epic visuals expected of this universe.

Of course, there’s love for the women characters, especially Galadriel, played by Morfydd Clark. Women are truly set to lead the way in The Rings of Power, and we love to see it!

#TheRingsofPower is definitely a promising return to Middle-earth based on the first episodes. Stunning visuals, compelling characters, and a magnetic lead in Morfydd Clark's Galadriel, who refuses to surrender the widely-held belief that Sauron is defeated. Can't wait for more. pic.twitter.com/XNf9Xie0Qm

Watched the first 2 episodes of #TheRingsOfPower and it's a powerhouse of storytelling that reaffirms why I love LOTR and the kind of world building that empowers and inspires. Also, badass women. Can't forget about them! @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideo pic.twitter.com/8ss0ixNb3n

But it is truly the visuals and cinematography that have everyone completely stunned. The Lord of the Rings is well-known for its beautiful locations, and it seems The Rings of Power takes that to a new level. It is still up in the air where the show can go because, well, no one really knows much after two episodes of anything. However, what fans see plays a part in their overall investment. And the look of The Rings of Power definitely made an impact, judging by these first reactions.

I've seen the first 2 episodes of #LordOfTheRings #TheRingsOfPower. It is stunningly gorgeous to look at, and the score is beautiful. It also takes a while to get going, and there's a LOT going on. But for fans of the movies, it'll take you right back at points once it's rolling.

I watched the first two episodes of #TheRingsOfPower and I was blown away. I was always more of a casual fan, with no great attachment to the source material, so I expected this to be too much for me. At times it is, but it's still engaging enough all I wanted was to know more.

I can now say that the first 2 episodes of #TheRingsOfPower are as cinematic as fantasy can be on TV. Feels made especially for Tolkien fans and is as *epic* as LOTR should be.

#TheRingsofPower is CINEMATIC EXCELLENCE. The scale of this story has never been done before, making each moment EPIC & BREATHTAKING. The marriage between practical and computer generated effects will set the standard for everything that follows. @LOTRonPrime @PrimeVideoCA pic.twitter.com/Grt3wsUUtC

And, who can forget yet another important part of The Rings of Power—the score! The soundtrack is already out for the fans to enjoy with some new epic tunes. Sounds like we should update our Tolkien playlist pretty soon!

Finally, there are some romance rumblings for The Rings of Power. We know that Bronwyn and Arondir will be an item, but what else can we expect?! Elrond and Durin, perhaps?

#TheRingsOfPower immediate thoughts after NYC screening :

No spoilers.

I'm definitely glad I waited to hear the soundtrack until today.

– ROMANCE IS ALIVE IN MIDDLE EARTH.

– Elrond and Durin. Durin and Disa. Elrond and Disa. They are everything.

So, it seems that The Rings of Power sets up a story that’s worth looking forward to, whether it is for the visuals and fantasy adventures or for a little romance. We cannot wait to dive back into Middle-earth and see where the Second Age takes us.
