Rebecca Nicholson from the Guardians criticizes the pacing of the series but praises the spectacle of the series and forgives 80 out of 100 points: “The pacing is also a bit all or nothing. It either races through amazing action scenes or lingers on a single conversation or meaningful look. But those are small things and in the end the spectacle wins. This is tremendously entertaining television, a cinematic one Feast.”

But not everyone sees the return to Middle-earth as cause for celebration. Inkoo Kang of the Washington Post For example, criticizes the characters and only forgives 40 out of 100 points: “The characters – Galadriel and Elrond, played by Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving in the films, included – are flimsy and the plots don’t exactly have much substance either. The performances are serviceable but underwhelming, while the dialogue is particularly cheesy are, with too many monologues about the search for the light or the rough nature of evil.”
