The Rings Of Power continues to substitute good storytelling with an endless, inane parade of callbacks to Lord of the Rings.

When I went back to and watched LOTR recently, a number of special effects were incredibly disappointing. They definitely rushed some of those scenes.

are you sure you are just not seeing an effect of the times? return of the king was filmed 20 years ago. Do you remember what graphics where like back then? SGI was still a thing.

The film certainly had some absolutely amazing special effects. I was impressed with how real Gollum looked and interacted with people. But take the scene of Frodo running into Mt Doom. That was terrible. It was a series of films, but slightly marred by either innatention or time constraints.
