RoP Season 2 reviews

[Tar Elenion]

The Telegraph:
"The Rings of Power, review: proof that money can’t buy magic
Garish and disrespectful towards JRR Tolkien’s writing, the second season of Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings prequel will leave fans cold"

The Independent:
"The Rings of Power season two review: Like a mirthless rollercoaster ride, rarely fraught with any tension"

The Irish Times:
"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 review: The good news is the wonky Irish accents are gone
Television: The Rings of Power is a hugely flawed attempt to turn Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings into Star Wars with staves"
"The bad news is that Rings of Power otherwise remains epically underwhelming – full of noise and ambition yet lacking the magic of the original Tolkien novels and of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, movies that grow in status with each passing year."

The Evening Standard is more mixed:
"The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 2 review: slow going, even for fans
Some storylines sing in the second installment of The Rings of Power. It’s a shame they take so long to get going"

The Times:
"The second series of the blockbuster show is epic but overcooked; thrilling at times but a slog at others."
