ThisRings of Powerreview contains spoilers.
But it is also rather slow-paced and weighed down by the need for substantial amounts of exposition.
Episode 3 introduces us tothe last of the major cultures we will be following through this story Numenor.
Like everything else in this series, the island kingdom looks fantastic.
The Numenoreans themselves are an interesting group.
So if Halbrand is a King in exile from that place, who is he?
He doesnt seem to be a Numenorean.
He might be an Easterling, the people who lived northeast of Mordor.
The Harfoots may look cute, but my goodness, they are a brutal people.
Luckily our heroine Nori has a more empathetic approach, asking Without friends what are we surviving for?
If Orcs are corrupted Elves, then presumably what we are seeing is that process in action.
We didnt see Elrond, Celebrimbor, and the Dwarves at all.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Poweris out now on Prime Video.
