Even Jeff Bezos' son is hoping Amazon's new "The Lord of the Rings" production is up to snuff.

The billionaire Amazon founder told the audience at the show premiere that his son warned him not to mess up the prequel series that debuts on Prime Video this Friday, Variety reported.

"After Amazon got involved in this project, my son came up to me one day, he looked me in the eyes, very sincerely, and he said: 'Dad, please don't eff this up,'" Bezos said, according to Variety. "And he was right. We know that this world is important to so many people, we know it's a privilege to work inside this world and we know it's a big responsibility."

Bezos has a 22-year-old son with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.

It was inevitable. The original was by a Christian with lots of significant real-life experience. Bezos and company have no such understanding.

The audience rating is now 38% on rotten tomatoes. Jeff Bezos can’t censor that.

Why do people care about this electronic garbage? Unless you live in a blue sewer town, take a walk, read a book, sit outside for a few hours.

Why do you care about how I spend my leisure time?

Eff it up is exactly what they’ve done. Amazon is thoroughly infected with the Woke mind virus.

If you watch this stuff it will subtly corrupt you or at least damage cognitive clarity. You are being manipulated by the Woke.

Amazon says if you do not like “The Rings of Power” then you are a racist. Hollywood ruined Star wars and Star Trek and Lord of the Rings and later Marvel films with “girl power”.

The “The Rings of Power” actors look like high school actors. They do not fit the part. I have seen reviews on youtube and the excerpts show the acting and dialog are real bad along with the special effects.

No. I'm being entertained which is why I watch shows that I like and don't watch shows that I don't like.

That was my impression with The House of Dragons. But I only saw one episode.

I’d definitely take a young Cate Blanchett over her.
Of course neither want me, so there’s that...

Dreadful writing. Cute Galadriel.

"Cute" isn't enough. Tolkien described her as the "fairest in the world." This one doesn't come close. They should have scoured the globe for a new uncommon beauty, like Uma Thurman in her prime.

I tried to watch it.

It’s unmitigated fairy tale crap.

More like a Saturday morning cartoon than serious story telling.
