Most of us agree that Peter Jackson's adaptation of the Lord of the Rings is near perfect film series, but should it have stopped there ? Are we tempting fates with the Rings of Power ? Or is Middle Earth such an expansive universe that not doing more with it is being overly preciouses.

We're kicking off Lord Of The Rings Month to celebrate the release of The Rings of Power.
