A generation-defining achievement from Peter Jackson

| Jul 30, 2024

Jackson solidly answers the call with a movie that’s an appealing amalgamation of dreamlike splendor, blood-splattering violence and old-fashioned heroics.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 8, 2024

An extraordinary adventure that combines incredible real locations with great-looking models, visual effects, excellent performances and memorable characterizations, managing to immerse the viewer in Middle Earth. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 3, 2023

There's still an organic, made-in-Jackson's-backyard feel to some of the battle and character scenes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 4, 2021

I'm sure you can smell the nerdy fan-girl coming from this review but it is a film I genuinely love and was thrilled to rewatch for this challenge.

Excellent well-made adventure film especially when compared with mediocre output of current superhero movies. Grand old fashioned entertainment.

Peter Jackson throws you onto the battlefield with your favourite characters.

Well balanced and stimulating, the film alternates between intense action, light comedy, and sincere drama (a few moments are even reserved for romance).

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 9, 2020

Peter Jackson's epic adaptation is an impressive beast of a film that will steal your heart every time. It grabs you with its sense of urgency, huge scope and hope. The beginning to one of the best movie trilogies of all time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 5, 2020

Jackson is working from obvious passion; he knows the most special of effects are expected of him but deploys his technology smartly.

Ian McKellen... does a wonderful job and he really sort of grounds the film.

God, it's good.

The Fellowship of the Ring is an impressive piece of filmmaking. It is, indeed, intensely faithful to the text, although, unsurprisingly, a great deal of the story is omitted.

[Peter] Jackson's ability to maintain the universality of a story is praiseworthy. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 27, 2018

New Zealand genre film maverick Peter Jackson does the impossible: he makes a faithful, magical, thrilling, and-most importantly-compelling film version of J.R.R. Tolkein's great cult fantasy epic.

| Feb 4, 2018

I have no serious criticisms. The film does full justice to Tolkien, who has often -- and erroneously -- been accused of escapism.

| Dec 7, 2014

It's hard to imagine any but the most nit-picky and dogmatic being disappointed by this epic, lovingly crafted movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 7, 2014

Most ambitiously, this rousing adventure closes with an ending that's closer in spirit to an art-house film than a popcorn holiday romp.

| Dec 7, 2014

This isn't some happy, kid-friendly adventure -- it's the story of how an entire world is plunged into war.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 18, 2013
