About

You’ll like this if you want a lighter Middle-earth adventure with sweeping fantasy and creature-filled peril; Not for you if long, padded quests test your patience.

Pros: beautiful fantasy world; charming lead performance; adventurous atmosphere | Cons: very long runtime; padded story stretches; sillier humor
