Yes, went into the first episode all giddy. That was the high point. Seemed to start dropping down after the prologue about Galadriel. I'd have to say that Bombadil is the low so far for me. Of many lows.
I just wish the dialogue and story-telling was better. I don't even mind (too much) the liberties they took with all the characters but it would've been more palatable if they'd done it nicely.
I'll still watch though. Although, I haven't rewatched most of the episodes.
Rewatchability is a great measure, isn't it? I've rewatched LotR and even some Hobbit scenes so many times. I don't have the desire to bother with this.
It is! I've rewatched only the first couple of episodes when the first season came out. I'm unable to rewatch anymore without getting angry at how badly they messed up most of it. LOL
It does have a fascinating “how many times can this train keep wrecking” quality to it. I kind of hope the producers next turn The Room into a mini-series.
