Avengers: Infinity War - (warning: Spoilers)

[Khev]

You think Star Wars is the best franchise of all time, and the best movies, yet I'M the naive one?

Yes naive. And also lacking in reading comprehension as I stated point blank a few posts ago that LOTR were superior films to SW.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

SNIKT is grinding his teeth in blind rage.

So, you agree.

LOTR>SW.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Putting vast ammount of money in a film doesn't = quality. Nor does it = changing film. Film is still the same today, SW didn't change anything but the industry. FILMS were not changed BUSINESS was.

There's only room for one SW hater around these parts, pal!!

 

[jye4ever]

Were there movie toys before SW it’s all a blur to me now.

Like were there Doctor Zhivago action figures and Gone with the Wind playsets lol

 

[Khev]

By the way no one mentions the horde they were pretty vicious in a visceral kind of way.

Yeah those things were surprisingly vicious. Lol parademons.

Can you even imagine if Joss Whedon directed this movie?

We would have gotten 10 cutaways to a wacky African family trying to escape the Wakanda battle in a pickup truck, lol.

LOL!

I actually don't mind the new SW and of course the OT is special. It's just crazy now how those SW films turn people nuts. It's a movie.

LOTR>SW.

With regard to filmmaking quality? Yep.

What am I, chopped liver?

What am I, chopped liver?

"Yup!"

If you break it down into categories you can clearly see that they really are better. Too bad The Hobbit movies were a bloated mess.

Acting: LOTR
Action: LOTR
Writing: LOTR
CGI: SW/LOTR (What PJ did with the battles, pushing tech like that, is just as important as the models GL used for Star Wars.)
Drama: LOTR
Fun: SW

You forgot Editing: SW

Music is almost a draw but I'd have to give the nod to Williams. But Shore's work in LOTR is absolute off the charts as well.

Jesus can you imagine trying to sit thru that JL chernobyl finale after what IW gave us

Oh man painful.

I couldn't decide it I wanted to include those as they were too close of a tie.

Editing can go to SW, sure. If we're not counting Fellowship.

ROTK is lengthy but if you look at it nowadays everyone watches the longer versions anyways.

Ah, that's why there's 30+ LOTR threads in the movie section.

Or comparing Thor's epic arrival vs. "oh look here comes the Flash!"

lol

No one talks about LOTR anymore because its time has passed.
