In an age of overly serious fantasy worlds, the Hobbits’ broad comedy is a reminder that there is some silliness in this world, and it’s worth fighting for. Go to Full Review Keith Phipps New York Magazine/Vulture 09/05/2024
3/5
Episode four keeps the balance pretty well, mixing breathless action scenes. Go to Full Review Samantha Nelson IGN Movies 10/03/2024
6/10
Isildur’s romance is tedious, and the Dark Wizard fails to actually feel like a threat, but the episode provides some strong emotional notes with the story of the Harfoots and the Stoors and the raging ents helping to ground the stakes for Middle-earth.

4/5
Overall, this fourth episode isn't necessarily spectacular, but it manages to strike a good balance between all its narrative threads, enough to feel like a satisfying piece in the puzzle that makes up the new season. Full review in Spanish. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
