“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” looks like it’s going to be awesome.
Amazon dropped a new preview for the “Lord of the Rings” prequel saga, and I can promise that it will amp up millions of fans around the globe. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Gets Back On The Right Track With Its Season 4 Premiere)
The plot of the highly-anticipated series, according to the trailer’s YouTube description, is as follows:
Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in 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.
If the trailer is an accurate indication of things to come, we’re in for a wild time. Give it a watch below.
I know there has been some negativity surrounding “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” and whether or not it will be any good.
Clearly, none of us will know until it premieres on Amazon September 2, but I’m not listening to any negative noise. I’m amped to see what we get.

Everyone knows “The Lord of the Rings” movies were among the greatest cinematic achievements in the history of film, and roughly $500 million was spent on the first season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”
There’s no doubt the production value is going to be through the roof, and that alone should have people pumped up.
