You can't...you can't just fly a drone at a random vector relative to your actors. Jackson used sweeping helicopter shots in the same direction to communicate traversal. The fact that the camera is high up is the least important part of 'muh vistas' shots.
I've only seen the the trailer and a few clips, but I'm not seeing that
It looks… fine, I guess. Maybe not $1B good (those Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging commissars don't "work" for free!) but fine.
This is why I mostly avoid the anti-Woke culture critics now. When they talk about a new movie or show that's Woke, EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE PRODUCTION IS THE MOST TERRIBLE THING THAT EVER EXISTED!
I did watch a couple critics talking about this show, and that's what they were saying, and I just can't take them seriously anymore. They're just pandering to their anti-Woke audience.
When the show was announced, I assumed it was going to suck. When I heard what the cast and crew were saying, I knew they were going to do a Cleveland Steamer on Tolkien's corpse. When the first words of the song in the trailer were "speak your truth," I knew it was going to be Woke as fuck and I wouldn't watch it if you paid me.
But the whole "EVERY FRAME OF THIS SHOW IS AN ATROCITY AND I'M GOING TO SCOOP OUT MY EYES WITH A MELON BALLER" is just petty bullshit that destroys the credibility of the critic for anyone who is interested in honesty over partisan hackery.
A show specifically made by partisan hacks and wannabe polemicists, for the purpose of degrading the literal foundation of the fantasy genre, is not going to be judged in a vacuum.
People have every right to drag this farce, and to dogpile it too. it's not just that it's bad on it's own, and it really is bad on it's own. It's that it's bad for the propose of destroying one of the best works of fiction ever created by humanity.
How would you know it's dishonest? You've only watched the trailers. At most you can say it's hyperbolic but that's hardly an accusation with weight these days.
There really are scenes in the show that look like basement quality cosplay. The show's effects are whiplash inducing, it has staggering quality drops and I say that as a fan of Stargate.
I don't know what's worse, that someone looked at her face and said "Yeah, let's include that." or that pre-Senokot Galadriel at the end was the only thing that saved it from being utterly worthless.
It takes (a kind of) talent to make scenic vistas look this bland and uninspired.
God why couldn't amazon just make up a brand new IP? then this kind of shit wouldn't matter much, but no they just had to subvert someone else's work. Bunch of assholes.
I remember dudes griping about Cate Blanchett as Galadriel because her nose wasn't dainty and elfin enough.
There are plenty of reasons to dump on this show, but reacting to five seconds of "physically attractive human female has facial expression" with "UGH! HIDEOUS GARGOYLE!" really helps fuel that "It's just bitter incels" narrative that the left loves so much.
Yes, I know I'm a communist soy cuck simpy simp simp, etc. Move on.
Her mother dallied with orcs.
Hopefully this clip of the scene with Morfydd Clark's, uh, questionable emoting hasn't been taken down by the time I post it.
Wtf was that whole sequence? Massive panoramic shots then forcing me to look a horses nose in hyper zoom and a meme faced elf.

I noticed that, too. A cinematic no-no. Either bad editing, or editing trying to work around lack of coverage.
I think more of this show's budget was embezzled than actually used. It looks so cheap. Like, cosplay made of cardboard cheap.

My point is that the cartoonish and dishonest criticism distracts and detracts from the very legitimate criticism of everything you just said.
It's cultural vandalism and deserves to be lambasted as such. There's no need to exaggerate.

Looks like a Budweiser advertisement
The first 30 secs I thought it was taken from Westworld Season 1
By Azura, By Azura, By Azura!! The Grand Champion! Here, molesting me!
does a spit take in Chick-fil-A
I think she's plenty pretty... for a human broad
Is the point that she's equine and ugly or that she isn't exactly fair?
Someone should photoshop Chad riding her. No not like that.

For the company, because without the brand it won't sell. For the "artists," because they need to destroy the good things about English culture.
Tolkein elves are stoic. Like Star Trek Vulcans. It's kind of their thing. Fuck this.
We went from Liv Tyler to this middle aged troglodyte.
I didn't realize Tracey Ullman was in this show.
Seeing this, you realize how much of this fucking budget went into drugs and the pockets of the producers instead of the production.
Good to know they find the time to fuck up their eyebrows in Middle Earth too.
Be glad they didn't niggafy her.
Ginjavitus is worse.
The fairest.
That's canonically Lúthien, I suppose because Tolkien was into brunettes and married one IRL.
Meh.

Considering nobody can stop talking about it, they have a solid percentage of hate watchers fluffing the numbers for them.
