Content:
Strong moral, redemptive worldview, with a reference to God, the Creator of Life, in a story about a battle between good and occult, demonic evil (a villain says a major villain was seeking hidden supernatural power, which is one definition of the occult, and there’s a subplot about hunting for an evil magical device)
No foul language
Strong, intense battle violence with some blood includes characters hit by arrows and spears and swords, some hand-to-hand combat, a character has to pull an arrow out of another character’s shoulder, and the two wounds are cauterized with a hot iron to stop the loss of blood, two characters battle over a sharp weapon that’s pulled out of one’s face and that comes close to piercing another one’s eye, humans use burning carts to stop an army from overunning them, characters almost kill a captive who irks them
No sex, but an elf kisses the human woman he loves
No nudity
No alcohol use, but humans use a tavern for their refuge of safety during a battle
No smoking or drugs; and,
Two heroic characters almost let revenge take over their actions, but they pull each other back from the edge.
More Detail:
As the episode opens, the humans of the Southlands are getting ready to defend their tower castle from the Orc army led by Adar, who’s one of the immortal elves corrupted and deformed by the demonic fallen angel Morgoth centuries ago. Meanwhile, the ships from Númenor bearing 500 troops are reaching the western shores of Middle Earth. Once there, they will ride over the mountains and into the valley of the Southlands.
It turns out the humans have some surprises in store for Adar and his Orc army, but Adar has a couple tricks up his sleeve. An exciting battle with lots of jeopardy ensues.
After a lackluster Episode Five, Episode Six gives viewers a true mythical epic, with lots of jeopardy and excitement. It also presents some background to Adar’s identity and what makes him tick. Finally, for the first time, the series includes a reference to “The One,” the Creator-God of Middle Earth and the Creator of life in Christian author Tolkien’s fantasy saga.
Episode Six of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER has a strong moral, redemptive worldview. As such, it tells a story of good against dark, occult, demonic evil. In one scene, Adar says Sauron, the demonic villain Galadriel is hunting, was seeking hidden supernatural power, which is a good definition for occult evil. That said, Episode Six of RINGS OF POWER has lots of intense battle violence with some blood. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children.
