Unfortunately, it is common practice now to take a previously successful franchise and "do a modern spin on it" rather than just COMING UP WITH YOUR OWN STORY BECAUSE YOU CAN WRITE/CREATE.

Hollywood take note. We'd like original stories please. Not massively altered versions of what we liked as kids/teenagers (or now ;) )

J.J. Abrams in particular take this note to heart. With the emphasis on original and Your own story.
 
While there is a lot to say and complain about the storylines and characters the imagery is pretty neat:

I'm pleased to see there's at least one Dwarf in there.

But again it seems to be trying to get viewers to forget about The Hobbit, as it purely refers to Aragorn and the Fellowship. That gives me bad feelings I first experienced when The Farce Awakens came out and noticed they were rehashing the Original Trilogy in a deliberate attempt to try and erase Episodes I-III out of people's minds.

Also simply saying 'Before Aragorn, before the Fellowship and before the Ring' means there's a very wide space of time this series could take place in - it could be before the War of the Ring (i.e. between the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings), before the Ring was found by Bilbo (any time between the Defeat of Sauron and the Hobbit) or before the Ring was even made (before the Defeat of Sauron). Given that 'The Rings of Power' refers to all the Rings Sauron made to try and control the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth, it may be the latter as it could refer to the creation of said Rings, or it could still be after the the Defeat of Sauron as all the other Rings were still active.

But then we still don't know if it's going to be SJW-ified yet, so there's not much point in theorising just yet.

Also I'll be interested to see if GW plans to produce new releases for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game for this series, or if they stick to the two film trilogies.
