Summary: Game Of Thrones

Improved Essays
Game of Thrones Review Game of Thrones has been a hit television show for years. Its rise to fame has almost been unprecedented as millions wait anxiously for the sixth season to be released. How did such a successful show come into being? The simple answer is its creator, George R.R. Martin. Spending nearly a decade writing, George has created a beautiful and complex storyline that continues to treat readers with a delight. Now his hit book series has been turned into a success television show. However with many aspects from the books missing, critics have framed the creators of the show for cutting many important parts within the story. But in their defense, the show would stretch on for too long if they didn’t make the cuts otherwise. I’m …show more content…
Game of Thrones effortlessly throws in thrilling scenes that action lovers crave. It is extremely violent and gory at times which adds to the very gritty and medieval feel of the show. To accompany all the action scenes, the graphics team has done a perfect job in creating the Game of Thrones world. With almost realistic renderings of the series’ major landmarks, the graphics in Game of Thrones are almost unparalleled as viewers gasp in awe at the amazing sights. The graphics also go hand in hand with the action scenes. The large and epic battles are almost entirely CGI generated, but it looks as if the battle is happening right in your house. The action in Game of Thrones does not always have to include giant battles. Even during an eerily calm scene, all hell could break loose at any second. The constant plotting even has an air of action to it. I give this category a 10 because of its flawless and crisp graphics, as well as gripping action that keeps the viewer glued to their television screens. The graphics team and writers have done an outstanding job in creating a beautiful atmosphere and adding enough action to suit even the most bloodthirsty of …show more content…
It’s the perfect show for those who love to be surprised as well as seeing a little bit of gory action. Using Rotten Tomatoes’ average rating of all the seasons, the critics seem agree with Game of Thrones’ reputation by giving it a very high approval percentage of 94.6% (Game of Thrones Seasons 1-5, 2011-2015). Regular watchers also give the show a high rating of 94.8% (Game of Thrones Seasons 1-5, 2011-2015). My final rating, based on the averages of my above categories, is a 9.2. Game of Thrones deserves its high and prestigious position for its never-ending lack of beautiful scenery and its bloody action. There is a reason why so many viewers around the world have fallen in love with Game of Thrones. In my opinion, it’s a beautiful piece of work that deserves to be watched and enjoyed by the older

    Black and White Today’s Hollywood bases its decisions with regard to the artistic quality of a work on how much revenue can be made, not so much on the story’s accuracy. If a story needs to be made more interesting to obtain the attention of the viewers it will be, even at the expense of the story’s veracity. The movie Beowulf and Grendel (Gunnarsson, S.) shows a transition in how Beowulf grows as a person while in the poem he remains a flat character. The movie and the book were very different in how the character’s transition throughout the story line, especially Beowulf; also, the movie adds many new characters into the story line that the poem does not even mention.…

    When comparing the universes in which Anne of Green Gables and The Hunger Games exist, it is easy to see that the former takes place in a smaller, much more contained environment, whereas the latter inhabits a more expansive and far-reaching world. Despite these contrasting settings, the key element that the two universes both commonly share is the concept of different groups of people, and the varying power dynamics between them. Although utilized in different manners, Collins and Montgomery both enlist the help of food to emphasize and illuminate these power dynamics between characters. In The Hunger Games, Collins introduces Panem, a nation established in a post-apocalyptic world composed of twelve districts; each with a varying degree…

    Game of Thrones is unlike any other series on air to date. It has recently gained a massive following of fans over its fairly short lifespan as a series. Drawing from George R. R. Martins books, this series, for sake of argument is practically the same as the books in its adaptation. The series strays from the typical fantasy series with its absence of a singular quest, portrayal of magic, and its mostly gray characters, give Game of Thrones a realistic view in the fantasty genre. With all of the elements included in Game of Thrones, it almost deserves its own category away from fantasy.…

    The English language is eternally changing. Ever since the origination many centuries ago, new words and slangs are formed regularly. This would make one assume that texts of the past shortly become irrelevant, as their language and societal ideas are outdated. In most cases, this thought process holds true. Beowulf, written by an unknown Anglo-Saxon poet, however, is a particular work of literature that breaks the commonplace mold of previous texts.…
