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.
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.
