First Fellowship of the Ring Reviews in(Minor Spoiler)

Well, two reviews have come in for Fellowship of the Ring and both say the movie is amazing.

One reviewer had minor(extremely minor) qualms with the first hour, but both loved the movie as a whole. The ain’t it cool reviewer is a huge fan of LOTR, so his review is particularly interesting. Here are the links.

I can’t wait. I was worried negative reviews might come in early(like Phantom Menace), but this movie sounds like it might pay off. Yes!!!

… can be found at Imladris.net’s review page.

They tell you which reviews are positive or negative, and which have spoilers.

Mahaloth, they have your second one, but I don’t think they caught the first one you listed.

Cool, thanks for adding those. We can post any other reviews that come up on this thread. I’m glad to see that so many(all, actually) are positive.

Potential sig line from the “Ain’t It Cool” review:

“Once the Fellowhship arrives in Moria, hold on to your nutsack.”

I can’t wait to see the first review from the poor bastard who hasn’t read the books.

I also liked the mention in that first link:

Heh, heh. No chick flick, this one.

You know, even setting aside all artistic considerations, what a wonderful story LotR is and how much I love it – it has Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean! I mean, really! :wink:

Just got done watching “The Quest For The Ring” on Fox. I didn’t think it was possible, but that movie looks even better than I had hoped, and I want to see it even more than before.

This is the first non-starwars movie that I’ve ever thought it would be worth it to stand in line an hour to get the best seats.

Dark Horizons states that Peter Travers from Rolling Stone (actually not a bad critic) has named it the Best Film of the Year. All very encouraging so far… (taped that FOX special but haven’t watched it yet)

Yeah, I had been wondering if these films would be Academy Award possibilities. It’s starting to sound like they might just be. Obviously, they are set to win the technical awards(SFX, Editing, Sound), but FOTR might be nominated for Best Picture, especialy in this dull year of movies.
