This is a film made truly for die-hard Tolkien fans. While meticulously consistent with the story lines established by the author, fans solely of the film will likely be rather bored with it. This exceptionally well-crafted, fan-made, micro-budgeted film, while it takes great pains to share visual continuity with Jackson's films (and does so remarkably well, despite the tiny budget) is long on dialogue and short on action, creating a tone which is more consistent with Tolkien's "histories" (ie, The Children of Hurin, Lost Tales) than to his novels (The LOTR Trilogy, The Hobbit). If you fall into the former category of fans, you'll undoubtedly be pleased by its overall faithfulness to Tolkienian lore, the excellent casting, above-average acting, true-to-Jackson costuming and surprising cinematography and scoring. But if your only experience of The Lord Of The Rings is the films and you're not a fantasy reader, you'll probably think the Orcs look lame and be really bored by it.

Yeah, I'll say it again: this movie was boring. Almost no werewolf action until the very end, incredibly tame, practically no gore. I mean come on, these are werewolves, for Christ's sake. They're supposed to run around eating people. All these did was either ride Harleys, trying to look cool or run away from the ones on the Harleys in a beat up old truck. Too pretty and glossy, you couldn't rightfully call it a horror movie. Big thumbs down. OK, I need more lines in order to post, so howbout "Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh, crappy flick?" Is that enough lines to post? No, I guess not. OK, here's "Really boring and crappy flick". Now, is that enough?
