The makeup, sound, resolution, and sets are on par with the expensive ones, but the dialog was rather weak and the plot was like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

This was incredibly well-made for an amateur low-budget fan film; I was very impressed. I feel some scenes and lines were too similar to scenes and lines from LOTR, but that does not detract from the overall quality of the film.

Neat little prequel to The Lord of the Rings, the main point being that it looks and sounds and feels exactly as if it's made by Peter Jackson et al and not by a bunch of fans on a very low budget. The visual and stylistic imitations of Jackson's trilogy are incredible, and the actors are pretty good at impersonating whoever played their parts in the original movies, though the guy who plays Aragorn goes a little over the top on the whispering.

Very well done fan film connected to the worlds created by Peter Jackson. The story is located between The Lords of the Rings and The Hobbit. The acting is not the top notch since it is a no profit product but the mood, shooting and directing suceeds fine. I also liked the score and special effects. Fine entertainment indeed.

Very good cinematics and acting for a fan film. It's a little short and the story is a little boring, though.

I have a mixed feeling on fan films, some are really well done and others are "fan" films, and poorly made and just a glorified worship commercial. Fortunately, Hunt for Gollum is the former of the two, and is a slick, well polished short film that most fans of the Rings trilogy can enjoy, as I did myself. The whole time thinking "They did THIS for 3,000 dollars?" It is well worth the 40 minutes of your time, especially being free. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
