You joined this forum for the first time just to whine about the show

Yes, I joined a forum discussing opinions of the show so I could discuss my opinion of the show. You find that odd?

I shall take myself elsewhere. Be at peace.

Lots and lots of people disagree.

Except non readers seem to like it and are intrigued.

 

And no it isn't bad. Not even close.

Is it bad like home-made video shot over the weekend bad? No, I would agree with that.

But is it "good film making"?  No.

This is weird.

In what way?

Agreed.  So why aren't more of the people with the highest emotional investment having positive feelings about the show?

Because it was bad.

I think a lot of the positives just come from seeing the series being dramatized.

Just the opening sequences are bland, flat, and poorly executed. If you didn't know what the story is about I expect it'd be entirely confusing. 

Hate it, with hate and vitriol.

Rating it as it's own show, as-if unrelated to WOT, I would still rate it poor. Even the color grading is bland.

IMO, the series needs a Peter Jackson type visionary and at least a 7-season commitment to tell it well. The producers of this version didn't think big enough.
