Review:
The Hunt for Gollum marks the long-awaited return to J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary world, set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The film follows Aragorn—long before becoming king—on a secret mission for Gandalf to track down Gollum, whose knowledge of the One Ring poses a dire threat to all of Middle-earth.
The story leans heavily into the darker, grittier corners of the realm, with mist-shrouded forests, perilous mountain passes, and the haunting ruins of ancient kingdoms. Director’s attention to practical effects, detailed costumes, and New Zealand’s sweeping landscapes captures the magic and weight of Tolkien’s universe while offering a fresh, more intimate perspective.
Performances:The actor portraying Aragorn delivers a grounded, layered performance, balancing the ranger’s rugged survival instincts with his internal conflict over fate and honor. Gollum’s return—brought to life with masterful CGI and voice work—is both unsettling and tragic, deepening his role beyond that of a mere antagonist.
