Lord of the Rings or Star Wars?

[Josie]

Now that we know the majority of people favor Star Wars, how about this....

LOTR or Star Wars?

You can't choose both and if you say neither, don't vote. Obviously. eace

 

[Jetboogieman]

I can't pick. I love both alot.

However, if you forced me to live in a futuristic world or a more medieval kind of world, I'd probably pick the futuristic one.

However sitting in the Prancing Pony having a pint of Barleymans finest does sound good right now.

 

[Black Dog]

LOTR easy. Of course it was based on a popular book so the comparison mite not be fair.

 

[Laila]

Ah crap .... I love them both but if I have to choose.



LOTR

 

[Josie]

LOTR wins by a landslide in my book.

 

[tacomancer]

I enjoyed LOTR more.

 

[OscarB63]

again....


LOTR




versus

Star Wars






a thousand deaths are not enough for George Lucas.

 

[Whovian]

LOTR had hotter women.

 

[Thorgasm]

Star Wars.

I've never seen the movies about walking.

 

[Laila]

LOTR had hotter women. Men.

You are so right.

:happy:

 

[Whovian]

You are so right.

:happy:

Hell... I'm straight and even I'd consider Aragorn.... :blushing2

Lord of the Rings is to Star Wars what The Dark Knight is to Batman Forever.

 

[OscarB63]

Lord of the Rings is to Star Wars what Cadillac is to Yugo.

 

[Redress]

edit: oops, the subtitle clearly shows one of the strong words used in the still image for this video, so I removed it...it was the star wars vs LoTR scene from Clerks 2

Note: strong language

 

[Harry Guerrilla]

Lord of the Rings is to Star Wars what The Dark Knight is to Batman Forever.

The Dark Knight was disappointing as hell.
Terribly done movie.

 

[OscarB63]

and Batman Forever was a classic?? :vomit:

 

[Harry Guerrilla]

and Batman Forever was a classic?? :vomit:

It was meh, The Dark Knight, for all it's praise and lauding, was poorly written and terribly put together.
The Joker was cool but that's about it.
Having Christian Bale play Batman, was just awkward, to say the least.

 

[theangryamerican]

I prefer the Star Wars movies to the LOTR movies, but the LOTR books are far better than both.

I think Heath Ledger's Joker is the best character in the Nolan series but Batman Begins was a better film. Christian Bales' weaknesses as Batman were more obvious in the second film, but I still rank him the best Batman to date.

The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are both childhood favorites. One is arguably the best Fantasy fiction ever written (I like The Hobbit and the Histories of Middle Earth more though) and the OT is probably the Science-fiction movie series ever made. Both inspire wonder and awe across generations.

Still, have to go The Lord of the Rings. It's a marvel at every stage of its conception. The level of craftsmanship is astounding. Star Wars was like that for the two movies, but then it began to lose its consistency. Granted, Return of the Jedi was still a strong film. The final confrontation between Luke, Darth Vader, and the Emperor ranks as the most epic moment in Star Wars, but you had to go through some BS to get there.

For Frodo

 

[roguenuke]

I say Star Wars (well, 4, 5, & 6 anyway) because I can actually watch them repeatedly and not get bored. I feel into the story everytime. The LOTR movies bore me. Some of the guys are hot, but they aren't even the main character. Plus, the movies are too long. They were good the first time I watched them, but I hate when my husband wants to watch them over and over. I generally jump on WOW or here.

 

[DrunkenAsparagus]

I'm surprised this hasn't come up already

YouTube - Clerks 2 Star Wars vs. Lord of the Rings

 

[Your Star]

Star Wars hands down.

 

[Redress]

I'm surprised this hasn't come up already

YouTube - Clerks 2 Star Wars vs. Lord of the Rings

I brought it up, but I embedded it and the youtube box had a bad word displayed so I had to take it down. Love that scene, and explains the two things I noted about the LoTR movies.

 

[Taboon]

LOTR by a nose. Mainly due to keepin it old school with elves, dwarves and orcs with a bit of good old fashioned magic in there. I'm more old school than futuristic.
