“I was not expecting anything spectacular. How can you when it is only a fan-made independent film? But u0026#39;The Hunt for Gollumu0026#39; was a lot better. Unlike the latter, u0026#39;Born of Hopeu0026#39; has an abysmally poor plot. While yes, the plot is at least in existence it does not really go anywhere, so you are not particularly interested in what is going to happen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting was alright, even if it was hard to believe. The narrator was awful though. She ruined it for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe effects were good enough, and the costumes and the setting was commendable considering that the film was done on a shoe-string budget.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is worth a watch, only if youu0026#39;re a fan of The Lord of the Rings. If not, you wonu0026#39;t really enjoy it. Having said that, I am a fan and I was bored by it.”
