indeed all show zero results.

Anything higher than a 5, does show results:

Now, one can have lots of opinions about 0/10 reviews, but they surely have just the same right to exist as similarly extreme 10/10 reviews.

I have to admit that I did chuckle a little at some of the 10/10 quotes ( caps preserved ):

<< As a REAL Tolkien fan, I couldn't have asked for any better. Anyone who complains otherwise isn't a Tolkien fan, but a Peter Jackson fan, and can't accept someone new showing their creative vision for the lore.

<< They STORY is ALSO EXCELLENT IF you LISTEN! (Abhorrently, that seems so infinitely difficult for some to do). TRUE, that there is a much longer than necessary scene 2/3's of the way through which almost put me to sleep (and it is the reason I am not giving this a 10)

<< As said above, I will not deny there is some mediocrity, but I cannot fathom why/how a massive 30% of all the ratings are 1 stars... does not seem genuine to me.

<< This is honestly already on par or better than game of thrones

<< Listen...we know it is not book accurate. Much of The Lord of The Rings and Hobbit movies (modern era non cartoon versions) weren't either. NO length of television show or movie could capture what Tolkien put on pages. So GET OVER IT.

I agree they should have kept at least few 1s for pretends.
