    I can't figure out which would be funnier, Mewes as Gimli and Smith as Legolas or the other way round.

    Another trailer.

    I like the ugly looking Wargs. Not really impressed by Galadriel taking down the Troll, kind of cringe to me.

    without her sword who might she be? Well, she would actually be Galadriel then trailer. Overall a lot of repeated scenes, only a few new things, Wargs are okay, don't hate/love them. Eminem continues to look awful, with no reveal guess we can conclude no Cirdan the shipwright or Celeborn, alas. Overall the new trailer did nothing to inspire me.

    The Good


    when it comes to the dwarf scenes, they look incredible. Like they have nailed the dwarf athetotic down 99.99%.
    Also some of the shots looks amazing, like some look ripped right from Peter Jacksons movies and have that cosy warm feeling.
    Cinematography as a whole looks pretty cool, pictured with some classical fantasy images.
    I do still like that I have no idea what the actual plot of this is.
    Set Design... I love set design, and just in small rooms and small areas, with the furniture design and placements. Look so lived in.

    the Bad

    The music, (I know its trailer music, but still I am judging the trailer, and that music) just no... current pop trend music is not what this trailer needed.
    Looks very CW in places. Like the costumes look cheap. Like could they seriously not afford to rough out some of those clothes.
    Hopefully the dialogue shown here is just bad marketing. Like man some of this is badly written, once again could be just the trailer doing a shit job.
    Still hate that the elves look like British politicians instead of the forever youthful elves. Not a fan of this interpretation.

    Outside of that still very sceptical about watching, which I will, I will wanna see how good it is. I cannot wait, but I have very low expectations, I am going in wanting to like this show, with singers crossed.

    That looks like a trailer for a computer game...with all that money, couldn't they have found better actors?.. they sound like cosplayers..and the lines are so uninspiring..

    The only people saying that are ones who think "women should be allowed to do things" and "black people should be allowed to exist" are political statements.
    I dont know man - the cast certainly seems to think so based on their interviews. So unless you are saying your statement somehow refers to them idk it seems like an own goal

    The concept of mediocre at best actors trying to portray characters that John Rhys-Davies and Orlando Bloom did so well is impossible to imagine. Maybe if they weren't just shitty dude weed bros whose claim to fame lived and died in two films.

    What's funnier is claiming Bloom is a good actor.

    But Mewes as a stoner Legolas and Smith as Silent Gimli would be awesome

    And yet, he's far more iconic and well-known than the entire cast of this show could ever hope to be.

    Hahahaha… He was a complete unknown when he was cast in LotR and his next biggest claim to fame was Pirates of the Caribbean (a series that hasn’t really been relevant in 15 years and was 100% carried by Johnny Depp). I mean, he ok as an actor and he still gets work here and there, but his time as a hot young movie star is long past. Well-known? Yes. Iconic? Hardly.

    What will make or break it for me is how the script turns out. The actors will only really be able to shine if the script and direction work. Even the best actors won't be able to save a movie bogged down by a bad script IMO.

    lol...what is this shit? LotR is THE reason people even knew who Bloom was in the first place. He had a handful of uncredited/bit parts before he was cast in those movies. That's it.

    Oh he's not that iconic, he's just the actor who played one of the most famous elves in fiction.

    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    Exactly, he's just the actor.
    You will all notice that certain posters are all very keen to talk about Neely's actions before the Chokehold...but they dodge every question about Penny's actions during the chokehold.... particularly that he held the chokehold after Neely lost consciousness...
