The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews |
The film is remarkably well made. But it does go on, and on, and on--more vistas, more forests, more sounds in the night, more fearsome creatures, more prophecies, more visions, more dire warnings, more close calls, until we realize this sort of thing can continue indefinitely. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Impeccably cast, superbly acted, brilliantly directed and looking fabulous, it is safe to say that it has been worth the wait, with director Jackson (himself a fan) unquestionably the right man for the job – this will delight the book’s legions of fans and create hordes of new ones into the bargain. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Jackson applies a lot of learned technique in unique horror, turning out a spectacle of aurally inviting scenes. He brings the same creaky, luscious camera movements that have made him a small legend. Each frame is an extension of the man himself, creating an exquisite picture book that should be distributed to every coffee table in America. [read review]
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
Funny, scary and, totally involving, Peter Jackson's assured adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings turns the book's least screen-worthy volume into a gripping and powerful adventure movie. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
This movie will likely enthrall fans of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but Tolkien newbies will probably have a tough time getting into this complicated world filled with underdeveloped characters. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Grand cinema, as director/ co-writer Peter Jackson has struck a skilful balance between story, characters, visual images and action. [read review] 82/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
The heroic and epic film version of "The Lord of the Rings" brings beauty, awe and excitement back to the big screen. [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
The Lord of the Rings will become a milestone not only for its genre, but for motion pictures in general. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
The magnitude of the film is beyond any one persons ability to capture it all in a single viewing. [read review]
--Jason Szabo (Movie Marshal)
A complete masterpiece that stands alone as the single greatest film adaptation of a book, ever. [read review]
--Brian Balchack (MovieWeb)
The story is compelling business for readers or nonreaders of Tolkien. And there's humor, too. [read review]
--Desson Howe (Washington Post)
Beyond a doubt this film will be one of the most influential of this generation [read review] 10/10
--Paul Twomey (Movie-Vault.com)
it's the three most exciting hours we've seen on a movie screen in years. [read review]
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
