I'm a Star Wars geek through and through, and defended Star Wars. However, my friend hated Episodes I and II (hey - they story had to start somewhere) and is very sceptical of Episode III. I kindly reminded him, that although I really enjoyed Lord of the Rings, the first film was very boring. So, my question is, which is better? Which do you prefer? Do you like neither? Do you like both? Posted by: Simon Lord of the Rings is ok, dont like star wars at all Posted by: TheMajor [color=darkred]Both suck, but I like Star Wars more.[/color] Posted by: Chankama First LOR was ok. 2nd was awesome. The third sucked b/c of the last scene where the undead army fought in the war. That was retarded. Essentially, all the war than happened before that was pointless, b/c if they had come like 1/2 day earlier, they would've just slaughtered the enemy. Stupid.. And to top it off, that's not how it happened in teh actual book. :-\.. The book was good. The 3rd movie was not. Star Wars.. I thoroughly enjoyed Ep II. Ep I was ok. and Ep III should be awesome. Posted by: gimli of gloin lord of the rings is heaps better than star wars. the books are better than the movie though, Posted by: nuke i like the lord of the ring alot man. Posted by: PZEROFGH i dont understand the lord of the ring books. lol Posted by: Flanker Lol, I haven't read the LOTR books. I've watched a few of the movies though, but Star Wars: Episode III owned all *** hard... Star Wars > LOTR. Posted by: pcranequin Caution: this post contains awesome spoilers. I pwn the box set of the Star Wars Trilogy and it is pretty cool. The new episodes were trash, however. I think Lord of the Rings could pwn Star Wars anyday of the week though because they have that Tom guy or whoever and he can sing songs that do lots of stuff so I guess he could have sang a song that would have killed Sauron or the ring or Sauraman or someone and that would have been cool but he decided to quit with the barrow wights and I respect him for that. One other thing I found to be funny was when the hobbits retuned to the Shire and they found out the Sauraman and his orcs had pwned Hobbiton after escaping from Isengard. The cool shing was that the orcs called him Sharky or Sharku or something, but I think it was Sharku. I think they explained where it came from in the book but I can't remember what the footnote says. But the really funny part is that Frodo and the hobbits kill all the orcs and only suffer six casualties or whatever and they totally pwned the orcs. Then Frodo says that Sauraman can go and the n00b guy that hangs out with Sauraman does something and I can't remember what happens but the Sauraman tries to stab Frodo and then Sauraman gets shot. When I read that, I was all like, "AWSOME!!!!" Then I think Sam became mayor and Frodo, and Bilbo, and some other guys (maybe Gandalf too) go to the place so they can go to another place and I liked the maps. THe maps were cool. It was really epic and whatnot. That's partially why The Lord of the Rings pwns Star Wars. Posted by: scottjames84 Starwars all the way; starwars is a classic and cannot be beaten :-) [img]http://img99.exs.cx/img99/7384/starwars8ee.gif[/img] I have only just moved to the US from New Zealand and so as you can imagine I was completly surrounded by LOTR things and kinda got sick of it. Posted by: krazyq Starwars sux, but i guess everyone has their own opinions. You should watch Clerks 2, it makes good fun of LOTR. Its a funny movie overall. Sorry if this was off topic! Posted by: keyser09 it goes like this the lord of the rings movies were better than the new star wars ones but the old star wars kicked lotrs movies and the books for star wars are better than the lord of the rings books..the Hobbit on the other hand wel thats another story Posted by: Snake-Eyes LOTR is so ungodly boring, IMO. I really would like to know how so many people fell in love with it. I can only stand watching the third LOTR movie for the epic battle scenes. Posted by: beedubaya The Lord of the Rings movies are by far superior in quality and cinemaography, plus they didn't try to pull in audiences other than the target audience as the Star Wars prequels did. Star wars would be so much better if it wasn't for things like Jar Jar Binks and punks like Jake Lloyd playing Anakin Skywalker in Episode I. I mean, a little Jar Jar would have been okay for some comical relief, but he should have never become a main character. They way overdid it. And Anakin should have known how to fly the starship instead of "mistakingly" turning on autopilot and letting it do the work. Posted by: dawizhacker I never liked either a lot, but if i had to chose in which era to live in, then LORD of THE RINGS! Posted by: Shumway Remind's me of Clerk's 2 :rolleyes: Posted by: nitestick i don't even see why there is a direct comparison. i say they are both equally great but can't be compared because of the genres. LOTR was a brilliant adaptation from a novel. Star Wars was Lucas' brain child and the shining example of modern sci-fi vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited.
