LOTR and not even close.
I agree. I'm just shocked that right now lotr is winning. I figured anything against batman would get stomped.
Which do you think is better? The Lord of the Rings or Nolan's Batman.

You ever have one of those movies that you know you should see, and that you're sure you'd like ... but you just never get around to actually watching?
The LOTR movies are that for me. Not a big 'fantasy' guy, but I think I'd like it. I've heard great things. I've even seen most of FOTR ... almost none of the other 2. I just can't ever get myself to dedicate the 12-hours it'd take to get through them.

But you bring up a good point. One reason this is a "once a year" viewing for me is the length and the fact my wife doesn't like them. I can sneak in episodes of my TV shows here and there or might be able to watch a 2 hour movie when she's out with the girls, but finding time to watch a 10-12 hour movie is quite a different story.

This isn't even close, IMO... LOTR, all the way.
Someone should start a SW OT v. Nolan Batman thread so I can get upset at Void and Maglor.

I like both a lot, but I'd be betraying my namesake if I voted for LotR.

Well LotR already is beating Batman. So it should be LotR vs Star Wars. And that's been posted

The Nolan Batman movies are great but if I have to choose between the two, it's LOTR.

Both are great. But I have to say LOTR wins this one, since Nolan bat-trilogy had two good films, and only one that was truly great and outstanding among it's genere (TDK). In this regard, LOTR works better as a trilogy, as a singular story (though I still count FOTR as the best of the three by far, for too many reasons to count).
On a side note. I find it funny, how people who whine about Nolancompoops, start these kind of threads, just to disturb the peace (weak Gandalf pun) and start unnecessary comparisons and bickering.

Batman Begins is better then LOTR.
I agree LOTR works much better as a single story. Nolan's trilogy does not. each movie is great but they are all disconnected from each other enough that it cannot be a continuous story like LOTR is.
Imagine if the actor playing Sam passed away and they decided to never mention him in the movie again.....

Theatrical ROTK had a lot of shortcomings. I thought it was a failure until I saw the extended version. I wonder if that has anything to do with my appreciation for DKR. I'd already been let down by a finale that had no excuse to be anything but the best ever, and it wasn't, so the next time that happened, I had a tempered perspective on how bad it could really be.
