Nev Pierce of BBC added, "Funny, scary and, totally involving, Peter Jackson's assured adaptation of J.R. R Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings turns the book's least screen - worthy volume into a gripping and powerful adventure movie ." </P> <P> The Fellowship of the Ring received thirteen Academy Award nominations, winning in four categories .
