  1. Doesn’t matter what u delete. This show sucks ass.

  2. Everyone on Prime is technically "verified" so….

  3. When Guylandriel shouted: "I have a dream" and sat in front of the bus….omg I collapsed from sheer wokeness🤷‍♂️

  4. Since I can't leave a review on Amazon, because reasons:

    Suspending reviews isn't going to stop the show from being horribly written with unlikable smug main characters, unlikable cardboard secondary characters, and unlikable already established characters who were changed to fit what the "writers" THOUGHT they should be like instead of what they ARE.

    It isn't going to change that sometimes the CGI is absolutely breathtaking, and other times it looks like it's made from CG work from the 2000s.

    It's not going to stop the dialogue from sounding like it was written by some high school student who barely passed AP philosophy who thinks they can spin prose to mimic Tolkien's words, but in actuality, what they write is as deep as a puddle. It's not going to stop the allegory that's littered throughout its entirety that's as subtle as a flying brick.

    It isn't going to the get rid of the soulless feel the show has because it was made for corporate greed rather than love of the creator, the material and what it stands for.

  5. It’s okay. Definitely some things make no sense, but I’ve watched everything else already. I’d say 7/10 because at least it looks good, and I can make up my own theories for the ‘woke’ nonsense.

  6. After watching the 2 episodes, as the prediction says, it's very woke, bashing all male characters and including demography which is out of place, imagine if you have native white characters in Wakanda. I understand $1B spent money is something needs to be protected, but come on man, investors should learn their mistake from other's the same repeated mistakes: "If you get woke, you go broke" movies.

  7. No surprise when white nationalists try to bring down everything not 100% white. Funny thing is nobody gave a crap about fantasy until a couple shows put in some boobies. Now all the anti nerd folk think they have a say on the matter. Get the f out of here.

  8. Yeah, Rings of Power is a steaming pile of bovine excrement

  9. Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

  10. The show is absolutely horrible and writing is worse. The dialog is worse than She-hulk which I thought could not happen.

  11. I like the first two episodes of Lord of the rings but the casting is way off I hope that something changes soon
    I'll never buy earbuds as long as they have that weird looking hangy down part.
    Barack Obama wins Nobel prize with purchase of side salad of course he gets an Emmy once you throw cash at him get my handshake and a pat on the back – diversity hire President monkeypox.

  12. This show sucks. If they focused more on quality of the story and less on pleasing the woke diversity police, they might be successful. SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Go woke go broke.

  13. Poor censorship and big tech shielding from criticism they don't like
    Rings of power is terrible

  14. It is so bad. Worse than the donky shows in Mexico. Cringe cringe from head to toe

  15. The reason they can get rid of reviews is cause IMDb is owned by Amazon. The more you know.

  16. Disregard this pathetic attempt by Amazon to limit the damage. Keep this fact in mind instead. The Lord of the Rings has been translated into around 50 languages and since gone on to sell around 150 million copies. It is ranked as one of the best-selling books of all time, and Amazon customers rated the work as the “Book of the Millennium”

  17. Hey remember all the media who reported on Amazon using 'Fake' Amazon workers to defend their company on Twitter (illegal btw) and defend low pay and bad working conditions? The BBC did an article on it. Wonder where the Disney ABC article is. The only real review bombing is from these corporations and it's called astroturfing. It can and should be fined. Media sold previous lies that The Last Jedi was review bombed from bots and fans on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes said that never happened. The audience score went DOWN after RT investigated it's scores.

    No one believes or trusts you anymore media. It's why you have removed upvotes on social media that you don't control with bots and astroturfing like twitter and reddit.

  18. Amazon nazi behavior to control thought and speech.

  19. Yeah, on Amazon Prime video…no ratings there either. I couldn't believe they don't show the star ratings for this.

  20. Nothing lower than ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  21. I watched the first couple episodes land being a long time fan. I was very disappointed, I'm just waiting for elrons gay lover to appear. The series is a joke.

  22. If the show was good, then Amazon would not need to suspend reviews. It doesn't take much to understand what's going on here. The show is bad. Amazon wants to hide this fact, so they suspend. Not much too it.

  23. Stop race swapping characters. Stop making all the men insulting morons. Stop making “strong wahman” stereotypes. Stop giving control of these projects to far left social justice warriors.

  24. Go Woke Go Broke. "The Message" being thrown back at their agenda writers 🤣🔥👍

  25. Ever heard of Occam’s razor? The explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct. Let's apply it here. The show is getting bad reviews…….BECAUSE IT SUCKS!!

  26. This show doesn't even have 1 single recognizable actor besides Eminem. I thought the lead actress was Jodie Comer but it's just someone who looks like her. It's because the script is terrible and directed by the guy who made Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which nobody liked.

  27. Go woke, Go broke. This show is garbage. Glad you met your diversity quotas with the cast 👍
    🤦

  28. It’s a bad show w terrible writing. Nothing to defend here asshats
