La espera será larga pero usted la ha hecho válida ..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "The franchise cometh."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 2/4 "The only thing worse than a bad movie that thinks it is good is a three hour long bad movie that thinks it is good."   NutzWorld   Blake French 5/10 "Maybe it’s too early to criticize the trilogy when we’re just getting started. However, if this signals the direction the series is going to go, I’m not sure if I care to find out what happens to Frodo, Sauron and those pesky golden rings."   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf A "a jaw-droppingly successful film adaptation...stunning on every level"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna 3.5/5 "You think Harry Potter had expectations?"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 4/4 "It could not have been more of a masterpiece if Tolkien had directed it himself."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2.5/4 "An extremely entertaining introduction to Tolkien's trilogy."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2.5/4 "...a slightly better-than-average fantasy flick."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "This is a cult book from yesterday that makes a popular film for today..."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "A wholeheartedly innovative, heartfelt, entertaining feast for the eyes."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 4/4 "Jackson's flights of fantasy bow before Tokien and are quite unlike anything you are likely to ever see on film."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A "When it's not stopping your heart, it's breaking it, filling it or lightening it."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "I’m positive that when all three have been released, we’ll be looking at a complete, inspiring epic from Peter Jackson. But we’re only a third of the way there."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A "You can almost hear a maniacal, frizzy-haired Peter Jackson screaming "Behold!" from behind the screen."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- "Triumphantly successful...long but never dull, filled with incident but surprisingly clear, and even at some points quite affecting."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/4 "With this production, Jackson has used The Lord of the Rings to re-invent fantasy for the cinema in the same way that the novel provided the blueprint for the written word."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Jackson has ... adapted the complex world of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination for the screen, maintaining fidelity to Tolkien while never losing sight of his own artistry"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "It's just a fantasy tale some would insist. Probably so, but I'm obviously not the only one that takes it too seriously."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/4 "The bar has been raised, and the world of film entertainment will hereinafter be better for it. "   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 10/10 "By the time its three hours were over, I found myself out of breath."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/4 "Jackson’s offbeat sensibility is relatively muted here, but it doesn’t hurt the film much, nor does the film feel at all impersonal."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "Good, but not as great as many have proclaimed."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "A solid start to the three-part adventure."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3.5/4 "Thankfully, if the audience has the patience, the film is good enough to warrant watching again."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito A "The worst aspect to Fellowship is the fact that we must wait another year before the next film. I may have to take up reading Tolkien!"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 9/10 "Rejoice in the cheerful good spirits of Hobbiton; drink in the beauties of Rivendell; relish the spookiness of the Old Forest; and savor the appearance of every orc."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/4 "Prueba fehaciente de que la creatividad y el empeño de su director son más que sobrados."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "One movie to rule the box office."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 5 "Die hard fans have to wear double layers of diapers to survive their enthusiasm watching this. It speaks volumes about how Jackson has touched the heart of the book."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "Such an engrossing picture that you completely lose track of the time and the 3 hour running length just flies by."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Jackson's films are sure to take the "Star Wars" mantle as beloved mythic epic for a new generation."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3.5/5 "Jackson evokes an almost palpable sense of the will to power trapped within the ring."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "A film of incredible vision and surprising emotional involvement--a rich tapestry of old-fashioned storytelling and modern-day technical marvels. An instant classic."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "The one thing that strikes me most about LOTR: FOTR, besides its seductively masterful and majestic elegance, is simply how utterly right it is."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 5/5 "Tolkien's world explodes onto the screen in vibrant, brooding, beautiful life."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "The best compliment I can pay the film is this: I'm looking forward to the next two installments."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 5/5 "Astonishingly inventive and new and at the same time as though it always existed inside us. From the tiniest plant to the hugest battle -- exactly, satisfyingly right."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 5/5 "Às vezes, 5 estrelas não são o bastante."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3.5/4 "Only Jackson would have conceived of having a dwarf, in the middle of battle, declare 'NOBODY TOSSES A DWARF!' and only Jackson could have gotten away with it."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 5/5 " The first part of the long-awaited trilogy is here, and Kiwi director Jackson somehow manages to exceed expectations with one of the most astonishing action epics in memory."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Jackson ... conjures the most potent major-motion-picture magic in years."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves A+ "This film affirms my faith in the medium."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 4/4 "This is a sweeping epic of a film, which also manages to remain rooted in the personal dramas of its central characters."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A "My only complaint about installment number one of the trilogy is that I have to wait for so long for the rest."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 10/10 "The copious action sequences are kinetic and thrilling while the exposition scenes and 'character moments' are wonderfully free of anything resembling 'camp'."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Endless close-ups of Wood’s icy eyes and repeated zooms on the golden ring fail to draw us in to what’s supposed to be a riveting quest."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Remarkably, and perhaps because of a fusion of images that are generic, imaginative, and by-the-book, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING really does look how the book 'should'"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Shane Burridge A+ " ‘Here are beauties that pierce like swords or burn like cold iron; here is a [film] that will break your heart.’ "   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 8/10 "Visually, Grant Major's production design and the CGI effects are amazing."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 50) of 56 OFCS Rating: 94% Fresh Page   12   > Next
