Considering this was done on 1/100,000th of any other films catering budget, it is good to look at but there are a few grating mistakes in dialogue that irked me, costing it a star. When Aragorn meets Arithir, he claims to have heard the name Strider and that he's a "Ranger of Arnor". EEERRPP! Want to try for Double Jeopardy? Aragorn is, by birth, Aragorn II, Chieftain of the Dunedain of the North - meaning the Rangers. Arithir should have known him instantly. All the Rangers know him. Another mistakes, Arithir says he has to return to "My people." His people are Aragorn's people, the Dunedain of the North (and, once he's King of Gondor and Arnor reunited - something Jackson left out of the movies), he's King of the Southern Dunedain as well. For me, having been reading Tolkien since 1976, these mistakes are unforgivable. But it is an enjoyable short.
