I love LOTR, but I'm in the camp that couldn't finish the Rings of Power. Just so boring and (with a few exceptions) the main characters were terribly written and utterly unlikable. The dialogue was garbage. Very disappointing.
On a positive LOTR note: The Return of the King will be coming back to theaters later this month for the 20th anniversary! And it looks like they're going with the extended edition.
