Lord of the Rings.

And this is coming from someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s as a huge Star Wars fan. The years of bullshit tinkering of the original trilogy by Lucas has soured me on Star Wars.

Unaltered they're awesome movies. Lord of the Rings has them beat though.

Alterations made the LOTR trilogy better.

Re: which Trilogy is the best ?
 
As a Trilogy, LOTR is better simply because it was filmed all at once and the story flows because they are taken from books so there isn't alot of plot holes. But as individual movies, I would watch Star Wars and Empire any day of the week over any of the individual Lord of the Rings movies. Once you start watching Star Wars Trilogy as a trilogy and there are many contradictions, and Luke is kissing his sister, etc, that is when it loses its luster.

Oh, and it's LOTR for me.

Foolish thinking. There is no denying the crap Lucas has pulled the past three decades, but the original three films upon release are undeniable to this day. Jackson wouln't have made LOTR without them.

I used to think Lord of the Rings but now I think they are both bullshit

Re: which Trilogy is the best ?
 
Star Wars I guess. Both are somewhat entertaining, but i've never been a big fan of either.

Same for me.

Star Wars easily. There is just nothing interesting to me about the Lord of the Rings story.

Lord of the Rings, theatrical or extended, over Star Wars (unaltered) any day.

Star Wars has lightsabers. End of fucking story.

JumpCutz 09-06-12 11:46 PM

Re: which Trilogy is the best ?
 
Lightsabers you say? :boring:

My thoughts exactly. I've watched the LOTR trilogy once, and have no interest in ever watching it again.
