"It's a big, big film, huge franchise, but for me, kind of, in a funny way, not a role that I think of with the same sort of stature in my head as it might do for fans."
Oh no, a romantic plotline in a billion dollar production!
Sauron has always been portrayed as beautiful and as “the deceiver.” Why would being charmed by him be a bad thing?
Yes, Galadriel is “solving all of Middle-Earth’s problems single-handedly” in that she’s doing with the help of everyone.
Reminder that Elrond’s dad literally plead to the gods to help them fight Morgoth and was made a literal star afterwards. This is literally a fantasy epic? You don’t expect there to be… epic things in it? Galadriel is just one of the main characters.
“Elf with the emotional range of a fence post”
So because there’s no overt expression of emotion, there isn’t any emotion? I feel like that’s a “you can’t read emotion” problem more than a it’s lacking emotional range problem. Do you recall Legolas as mightily expressive emotionally, or could it be that a splash of stoicism is actually something associated with the portrayal of wood-elves?
No offense, but your analysis feels rather shallow.
Completely stiff and unnatural.
Idk, like something from the early 20th century? I wonder why there’d be a feeling of something like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think people are rather just going with the bandwagon on these reviews. It’s not great, but its definitely not terrible.
