Joshua Rothkopf In These Times Jackson is working from obvious passion; he knows the most special of effects are expected of him but deploys his technology smartly. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian 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 Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club An enthusiastic visionary set loose on one of the biggest playgrounds ever constructed, Jackson brings more personality to the series' first installment, The Fellowship Of The Ring, than typically seeps into a franchise of this magnitude. Nov 18, 2013 Full Review Don Shanahan Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast A generation-defining achievement from Peter Jackson Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Jackson solidly answers the call with a movie that’s an appealing amalgamation of dreamlike splendor, blood-splattering violence and old-fashioned heroics. Rated: A- Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Cinencuentro 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.
