I am a hardcore fan of Tolkien, but that is not why i am rating this with two stars. Even assuming that this is not in any way connected to Tolkien and his works, this series doesn't stand on it's own. I'm sorry, but that is the truth. Everything except the graphics is just horrible. When the writers wanted to make a line sound deep, it just ended up sounding ridiculous. I don't remember a single meaningful dialogue. Some scenes make no logical sense. Many characters are not consistent, and the biggest problem is the main character: in one scene she is shown as caring for her people, especially when they are her responsibility, and in the next she is abandoning someone under her command. The writing is on a level of children's cartoons, with the difference it even fails at being entertaining at it's silliness. Acting is also mostly horrible, starting with the main character, but there are a few characters on the side that are exceptions. They are not amazing or anything, but they are okay. That, along with the graphics, is why i gave this 2 instead of 1 star. The budget however is mostly spent in vain.
If you are a hardcore Tolkien fan, you MUST NOT watch this. But if you are able to look at this as non-Tolkien, or if you don't even know who Tolkien is, then i still advise you to skip this. I will not be rewatching this, ever.
