I was surprised at the production quality and cinematography. It was shot in a very Jacksonian style as well which made it fit in the LOTR series quite nicely. The writing, acting and dialogue was damn decent too. Overall it's really good especially considering the budget disparity between this and LOTR. Is it a part of the Tolkien lore that really needed to be told? Not really. But it was an enjoyable watch for a fan none the less.

The great events of the war of the ring are about to unfold and the priority for Strider and Gandalf is to keep the Ring secret. Sauron is preparing to unleash his armies and Gollum is creeping around Middle Earth with crucial knowledge of the Ring's location. He must be found.


Critical reception:

The trailer for the film was well received online. A blogger for Entertainment Weekly said that based on the trailer, the film "looks awesome", and added that the filmmakers "seem to have nailed a passable low-budget version of Peter Jackson's best-epic-movie-ever visuals." Similarly, a blogger for Wired News said that "The Hunt for Gollum looks pretty stunning for a film made 'by fans for fans.'" On National Public Radio's All Things Considered, reporter Laura Sydell said, "The Hunt for Gollum looks just like the Hollywood version. I was fooled the first time I saw it. ... the special effects in the trailer are flawless." A writer for the film website Rotten Tomatoes said, "the trailers suggest it'll be better than Eragon ... or Krull. (Wikipedia)
