roger ebert gave the film three out of four stars and stating that while it is not "a true visualization of tolkien's middle-earth", it is "a work for, and of, our times. it will be embraced, i suspect, by many tolkien fans and take on aspects of a cult. it is a candidate for many oscars. it is an awesome production in its daring and breadth, and there are small touches that are just right". "usa today" also gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "this movie version of a beloved book should please devotees as well as the uninitiated". in his review for "the new york times", elvis mitchell wrote, "the playful spookiness of mr. jackson's direction provides a lively, light touch, a gesture that doesn't normally come to mind when tolkien's name is mentioned". "entertainment weekly" magazine gave the film an "a" rating and lisa schwarzbaum wrote, "the cast take to their roles with becoming modesty, certainly, but jackson also makes it easy for them: his "fellowship" flows, never lingering for the sake of admiring its own beauty ... every detail of which engrossed me. i may have never turned a page of tolkien, but i know enchantment when i see it".
