Not necessarily a reimagining, but a premise. A concept.

This one hurts. The potential was there, the visuals were genuinely incredible, the acting was solid, and I remember liking the music. But the writing was atrocious. It was like they went with the first draft. And also they piled on all those stupid prequel tropes like: "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to find out how this iconic character got their NAME!"

The music and the visuals are what I kept going back for, and the clearly-insane hope that someone on the writing team might have picked up any of the Silmarillion or History of Middle earth books and just given them some consideration
