which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin,
unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and
the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to
cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace,
the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and
new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to
Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the
majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking
island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the
map,these
kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after
they are gone!

DeleteI've never watched The Lord of the Rings movies.
ReplyDeleteOh, you positively must, I think you would actually like it, especially the orcs!
DeleteIt’s mind boggling how much money that was spent. It better get some kick ass reviews for what it cost to make.
ReplyDeleteIt is a one billion $ series with the marketing and rights that they bought, and that is just the first season. First reviews are out since last night and they all praise it and give it high marks.
