Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

It's full of scenic splendors with a fine sense of scale, but its narrative thrust seems relatively pro forma, and I was bored by the battle scenes. ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

Salon (Scott Rosenberg)

During the months of lead-up to the release last Christmas of "The Fellowship of the Ring," Peter Jackson's remarkable film adaptation of the first volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," one question kept pushing to the fore. Jackson, ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Salon (Scott Rosenberg)

Who would have thought that such an important 'novel to cinema' conversion would be bestowed upon a man who's previous Directional outings consist of such wonderfully named movies as 'Braindead' and 'Bad Taste'.

IndependentCritics.com (TC Candler)

The production value is astronomically high and as a result the cinematography and overall visual scope of the film is quite impressive. But as has always been the case, tons o' money does not a great film make. This film is probably the most ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at IndependentCritics.com (TC Candler)

Dave's Other Movie Log Review

When the first installment of Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Rings, directed by Peter Jackson, came out at the end of last year, I passed on it.

TheWorldJournal.com (Giancarlo De Lisi)

Director Peter Jackson's ambitious opus is filled with grandeur and mysticism, horror and illusion, wizardry and trickery, yet it is not filled with enough wonder that sustains this film in its' dull moments.

Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)

Bounteously bold, gorgeous, video-game-esque battle sequences are placed like decadently rich chocolate chips in this huge sugarless cookie of a film that over bakes the pan.

That Cow (B. Kiefer)

I am not one of the flock. I never read Tolkien's tales and I think that this puts me at a handicap with this movie. The movie flies by many of the details that I think would be necessary for me to be more involved. As such, I felt like I was ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at That Cow (B. Kiefer)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

MovieFreak.com (Craig Younkin)

Director Peter Jackson and star Ian McKellen each bring an effectively dark tone to "Lord of the Rings", the new epic whose production story is already becoming legend. There are also some really terrifying visuals here as well, but when all is said ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at MovieFreak.com (Craig Younkin)

Natural Born Viewers ("Geeky Marcus")

Two hundred and eight minutes and one epic movie later I realised that two things were missing - a shoe horn to prize my ass from my chair and something to numb the searing pain in my bladder (a piss, methinks).
