Better Trilogy: Lord of the Rings or Star Wars?

[mfoga]

Oh don't even get me started on plot holes in the Star Wars Trilogy.

But one plot hole doesn't turn it in in to one 2-3 hour film and not 3 18 hours films.

Don't you have a bike to go wreck again?

Go play with your precious.

Which clearly failed because before the first was even over, everybody was looking for a Hobbit with the ring.

well exactly, Imagine if it was the eagle, Everyone would be looking for the eagle instead and it would be a lot easier to find out.

Wonder how many of those who voted for SW did so only because they had seen it as a child first?

Sentimental value>>>rational voting

plenty...Guarranteed!...just like the 89 Batman vs Nolan Batman...

yeah I think so. I don't think any movie can win against star wars on sentimental value alone.

I saw both film series as a child. I was older with LOTR, but only...what..like 10? Finished the series when I was 12.

Honestly? When I watched Star Wars, it grabbed me. I loved being in that world. LOTR? I was begging to leave. Because holy ****, it was long. I saw Two Towers opening night, same with Return of the King. I did end up liking Return of the King the most. It was the most fun.

But I walked out after the 45th ending.

So no, LOTR never left an impression on me. I'd like to revisit them sometime...but they just never gave me any feeling I had when I saw Star Wars.

They are great movies. Perfectly made, well acted, everything is good.

But that world does nothing for me. Not a damn thing.

I think we can all agree that your taste in movies is abysmal and juvenile. If you actually voted for LOTR, perhaps hell really did freeze over.

But Star Wars is one right after the other.

Hey, it's the movies. They all have them.

 

[CelticPredator]

Ween doesnt know what a plot hole is....

Hmmm......sounds like politics.

Yes, I do.

I get a boner for everything superman.

 

[CelticPredator]

I don't hate that movie either.


But you deserved it.

LOTR is my favourite trilogy of all time but I do appreciate that SW will always have a bigger following, it's the bricks and mortar of pop culture.

 

[Rzeznikk]

It's The Lord of the Rings and not even close for me. It's better directed, better story, better visuals, better characters, more depth to the story, and a better journey from start to finish.

This. As much as I LOVE the OT Star Wars and how Empire Strikes Back is my all time favorite film, but as a trilogy, as a whole Star Wars is a close second.

the shaft trilogy with richard roundtree tops both.
