A very well done short story about Aragorn's search for Gollum.  I give them an A+  for effort, the production values are quite high and the director shows real talent.  This is a real labor of love.  But I do have a couple of issues (warning! spoiler and geek alert!):

First, Aragorn goes 1 on 1 with a Nazgul and doesn't get his ass handed to him within seconds. Don't get me wrong, I think Aragon is a great character but we're talking one of the Nine here.  A Ringwraith, a personal servant of Sauron.  Where's the dreaded Black Breath?

Second, the fight scenes are not well choreographed.  I know sword fights are very difficult to do well on film and they had severe budget constraints.  But you have to make sword fights fun and interesting to watch without being confusing or making the good guys look like they have superpowers.  The ones in the film needed to be tightened up a bit, in a couple of shots the big orc was so wide open I thought Aragorn had fallen asleep.

But these are minor quibbles really.  My inner geek doesn't get to vent much on StumbleUpon ;-)

Lighting designs inspired by birds. Very cool.

While I'm not too enthusiastic about many of these ultra modern homes, I could, I suppose force myself to live in this one.
