More Critic Reviews for Game of Thrones Season 3 All Critics (45) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (45) | Rotten (0) By Episode 3, though, the action is as riveting as ever. And a superb addition to the new season is Diana Rigg as Lady Olenna. Feb 7, 2014 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic Hinds' performance underscores one of the continuing remarkable achievements of Thrones. Even though it has dozens of characters bundled in the same nondescript robes or skins, particularly for the winter scenes, it keeps them remarkably well sorted out. Feb 7, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic I'm happy to report Sunday's premiere is outstanding, a globe-spinning, breast-baring, bug-stabbing blast that nimbly reminds us where we've been while hinting at big things to come. Sep 16, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Just as HBO blew open the western genre with Deadwood and the crime drama with The Wire, the channel, with Martin and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, expands the potential of fantasy with Game of Thrones. Mar 28, 2013 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic GoT is an exploration of the human heart -- don't blame the series if what it finds there is often so ugly. Apr 1, 2013 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Game of Thrones gives us much to ruminate on regarding power, honor, and family. But it also reminds us that whether one is rich or poor, man or woman, honorable or evil, in Westeros life ain't fair. Feb 7, 2014 | Full Review… Rachael Larimore Slate Top Critic "Game of Thrones: Season 3″ is the most challenging and the most rewarding of the seasons so far, and the Blu-ray/DVD combo available now does it justice. Feb 26, 2014 | Rating: A | Full Review… Paul Chambers Movie Chambers Combines a sophisticated and beautifully shot narrative maintaining a vastly conceived, intricate pattern of diverging and converging plot streams but it is also very, very simple... It may be the purest escapism ever devised. Oct 19, 2018 | Full Review… Stephen Marche Esquire Magazine [Game of Thrones] is dark, ribald, dramatic and sometimes awe-inspiring; it may not be Tolkien, and that may be a blessing. Jul 22, 2018 | Full Review… Demetrios Matheou The Arts Desk What makes the show so enjoyable is how bored it is with the usual solemn father-son hoo-ha. Jul 12, 2017 | Full Review… John Powers Vogue For season three, there was no other way to end. After The Red Wedding, an event so monumentally brutal that it instantly became one of the cornerstones of this show's very legacy, the only way to go would be softer, quieter, warmer. Feb 28, 2014 | Full Review… Neil Miller Film School Rejects Game of Thrones offers a stern rebuke to genre elitism: it is not only a grand adventure, but a series that pushes the medium of television drama into new fields. Mar 6, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… David Sugarman CineVue View All Critic Reviews (45) Audience Reviews for Game of Thrones: Season 3 Nov 12, 2019 The story of game of thrones is fake, wrong and family destroying. full of sad scenes like rape, killing innocent people, adult parts. all the people slept together.!!! Too bad Peyman P Oct 29, 2019 Beginning of the rise of Daenerys, MUST WATCH! Lewis H Oct 11, 2019 Iconic and shocking moments abound in a story that has only been getting better so far. Nearly faultless television. John C Oct 03, 2019 Amazing character arcs and overall story. Sam E Sep 23, 2019 Back and stronger then ever, Game of Thrones Third Season proves why it is the best show around. With dark twist and turn, the characters and their stories continue in the best way possible. The war continues and Season Three ends in the bloodiest way possible. Bailey K Sep 22, 2019 brutal los combates te enamora de los combates Pedrito P Sep 19, 2019 Really great actors, writing and well done special effects. Anita20 L Sep 09, 2019 Season 3 of Game of Thrones features some of the most incredible moments in television history (as well as fantasy history). One scene in particular, is probably the best that Game of Thrones has ever been in terms of writing and subverting tropes. This is the high point of the series by far! Nate S Sep 07, 2019 Best show ever, at the time. Gwenhwyfar S Sep 06, 2019 For me this is the show's low point, where it revels the most in its HBO-iness - gratuitous sex and violence which serves virtually no point other than as a crutch for uneven storytelling.
