Feo Amante (Kelly Parks)
When this movie comes out on DVD you could have a drinking game where everybody has to do a shot when ever someone says, 'Hello, old friend'. ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Feo Amante (Kelly Parks)

TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
Jackson evokes an almost palpable sense of the will to power trapped within the ring. ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
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)

At the last minute, Hollywood saves its ass with an epic that lights up the screen with adventure and excitement for three hours. ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Rolling Stone

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. ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at NutzWorld (Blake French)
The Film Asylum
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'. Although early in his now blooming ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at The Film Asylum
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. I was going to leave the country for an indeterminate period of time to work on board the USS John ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Dave's Other Movie Log Review
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.
Threads made of ...read the complete Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie review at Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)
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)

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)

Of all the graphic novels lately that have been taken from the book and put onto the big screen. This movie takes the top! I loved this show and all the characters that were brought to ...

Like most trilogies, Lord of the Rings starts strong but peters out.
The Fellowship of the Ring is a great movie. I particularly love how it slowly changes from a happy frolic-fest to a dark and dreary gloomy world as the weight of the situation ...
