Der Herr der Ringe: Die Gefährten (Extended Edition) - Kritiken

This astounding movie accomplishes what no other fantasy film has been able to do: transport viewers to an entirely different reality, immerse them in it, and maroon them there for nearly three hours.

...an intelligence and artistry as a movie, independent of blind fidelity to the page.

Jackson's flights of fantasy bow before Tokien and are quite unlike anything you are likely to ever see on film.

Emotional range and character depth ultimately take us beyond genre limitations, and it deserves to play as wide as a certain Mr. Potter.

...The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an ambitious and generally enjoyable film, especially for those who might desire a little more narrative coherence and depth than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone has to offer.

Filmens overskud af fantasi og billedernes magi holder stemningen intakt i samtlige 179 minutter.

...blir som förtrollad när Peter Jackson bjuder in till sin vision av hur Midgård ska se ut, låta och kännas.
