Get the right gal to play Galadriel

-

I HAD heard that Amazon’s new fantasy extravagan­za, The Rings of Power, was a bit hit-and-miss but even I could not have anticipate­d a turkey with quite so many overcooked trimmings. The best (worst) is Morfydd Clark, left, as Galadriel.

Don’t get me wrong, she looks the part – and I’m sure she’s very talented.

But for some reason she plays the role like some psychotic school prefect, a cross between Hermione Granger at her most smug and Arya Stark in Game Of Thrones. I’m all for female empowermen­t, but Galadriel is supposed to be a symbol of Elfin nobility – not up to her elbows in

Orc blood.
