Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

jeromestaab It's really sad how much they mutilated Terry Brooks beloved world. The series is so amazing, the dialogue beautiful and the characters you really get to know. This show is an absolute abomination. It's horrible writing, terrible acting. The set pieces and costumes are ok but wow what a horrible befuddled way to try and copy Twilight.

laurika-moore-799-55666 There are a lot of critics that thinks this is crap, but I must say that I loved the story, the creative work, costumes, hair, makeup and acting. To receive two nominations well deserved for the work that went into this series, it is absolutely amazing. It is watchable, entertaining and fun. I hope they make a season 3.

dietradan I thought this was such a beautiful series from costume to effects to location to oh gosh everything! The people who are highly disappointed by this seem to be those that wanted it to be just like the books, and HELLO we know what THOSE people are like. they are the ones that after you just got done watching an amazing film and you are on highs walking out of the theater go, "YEAH BUT IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THE BOOKS..." and BOOM the buZZKILL! Not too mention how annoying they actually are. seriously do yourself a favor and WATCH, it's amazing and SO SO SO WORTH IT!

truebluegreenguy To be clear, the seven star rating I am giving this show is almost entirely based on my love for the genre and source material. I'm an avid Fantasy reader, and as such was very excited to hear that Terry Brooks' works were being adapted into a show! Then I started watching the series. I enjoyed the visuals and found the overarching plot agreeable enough. As for the characters and dialogue... it was like I was watching an MTV high school drama. To quote Rob Bricken in his Gizmodo article, "Imagine if Peter Jackson had hired the cast of any of MTV's current high school dramas to be in his Lord of the Rings movies-that's The Shannara Chronicles. It's almost exclusively a collection of extremely attractive young white people who, despite wearing elf ears and being forced to discuss magic stones and demon-imprisoning trees, give zero sense that they're living in a post-apocalyptic world full of magic."I forced myself through the first two seasons, and with no network picking the show up for a third, my hope is that perhaps there will be a chance for a reboot down the road if a network were to acquire the intellectual property.In a remake, I'd love to see a fresh take that removes the "high school" and returns to "high fantasy". I'd love to see what a more 'mature' network could do with this saga, and I think the market is increasingly ready for, shall we say, Lord of the Rings meets Game of Thrones. Shannara could be the medium for Fantasy to gain further network popularity, particularly now that GoT is wrapping up at the time I write this. And I have to say, Shannara on HBO is certainly an attractive proposition, though after what MTV has done with it I'm not going to hold my breath.
