No sign of magical world of Tolkien. And I don't mean seeing magic, but the mystical feeling by reading it.
Lord of the ring movies were loyal to that basics, by playing musics where needed and avoid it where it is not. That applies to strong speeches and romantic scene as well. Here in rings of power, there are too much unnecessary dialogues and lame romantic scenes. Regardless of having a great story at hand, the storytelling in the show is about the average and Bad directing is obvious.
Cinematography is good but could be better. Again it does not present the world that JRRT has introduced.
As for the cast, acting are acceptable but actors are badly selected and regardless of them giving their best performance, still don't fit.
So, overall, not worthy of a Tolkien work.
