I cannot believe how bad they made this script. The characters make terrible decisions, the head elves know the evil is there but aren't willing to do anything about it, the Harfoots do literally nothing and Galadriel is supremely unlikeable as a character. None of the characters act anything like they did in the books or in the Peter Jackson original trilogy and the dialogue raked against my senses like a cheese grater against my eardrums. I would come up with an analagy that better describes it but the show didn't bother, so why should I?
Even the action scenes are boring! This is especially true when Galadriel did her spring jump into wire-fu and her team gave up on her. Honestly, I felt more for them than for her. If she wanted to keep traveling, the least she could have done was go back and get more provisions before leading her team into the abyss and their deaths. The scene with the troll was especially bad when none of the elves EXCEPT for Galadriel were even fighting! None of them even made a single move! They looked like they were going to, but then a giant ice chunk was thrown into them and that was the end of their contribution to the scene. After that, they died and died some more because only Galadriel can be seen to do anything! The only way they can think of to make her look competent is to bog everyone else down into incompetency. This is a perfect word for the show itself, incompetence! You can gawk at the visuals all you want. First, they're not that great. Second, visuals do not make the show! If I want to look at pretty pictures, I'll pull up some pretty pictures, not be bored to death by a bunch of activists trying to shove a message into our faces using characters I don't care about.
