And since it seems to be primarily about Strider, films
on early Aragorn/Arwen and her brothers journeys
to avenge their mum.

Hi Tuor!

Well,this is an absolutely incredible idea!The story of Elladan and Elrohir is one I keep saying to those that know LOTR only from the film-especially from the cinema version -,as it is my firm belief they shouldn't have been excluded.So,for the audience of the net,those fan-films is a good way to expand their image of Middle -Earth to a far larger image.

Anyway,I' M COUTING THE HOURS TO THE PREMIERE!

I thought it was pretty entertaining, very well made. Could have been a little less wham blam though, a little more thoughtful perhaps? Amazingly done on that budget though, acting was surprisingly good. Could have been a LOT more original too much PJ for my liking, I'm scared about talking more until more people have seen it.

I just finished watching it.

They definitely mimicked PJs style, right down to the style of cuts and everything.

I still enjoyed it though. Very impressive for what they had to work with.

I do have a few nit-picks.

*spoilers of a sort*

Gandalf was sure in the film, years prior to when he was in the books, that Bilbo's ring was the One Ring.

It seemed a little odd that the other ranger didn't know who Aragorn was.

Then there is the bag business, but that is forgivable because of their understandable desire to cut down on CGI.
