Choose a Trilogy?

[Chez Daja]

LOTR's. It was really great to see something that didn't involve flying around in a ****ing space ship and running around with a little green man.

...Wow, necro-posting! Was there a rule against this? I don't see one! Good on ya, kiddo.

I'd have to go with Star Wars. I liked LOTR's, but the movies are all about 3 hours each and they just go on to long for me. They're all good, but I find that they just drag out for to long. Star Wars are roughly say 2 hours each, but they are all very good as well. I like the music, story and ending more in Star Wars anyway. I mean it's pretty epic for father and son to be fighting, cliche it may be, but it's done well therefore I couldn't say that I care. both are good trilogies, but there's no question for me, Star Wars all the way.

Where's the freakin Matrix ????

C'mon now.

If this is only about Star Wars and LOTR i pick LOTR. I was in love with the books when I was younger and have read them each probably 8 times. It was incredible seeing all the things I had pictured in my mind put into such beautiful cinematic art. Sure, there were a few details cut out but it pretty much captured the story perfectly. I never tire of those films.

And yes, I have seen the Star Wars movies. I never really got into them. I was a trekkie growing up so I kind of turned myself off to the competition.

Oh, and by the way. Matrix. Best Trilogy Ever. I'll add my 2 cents later if its within the scope of this thread's designation.

Yeah, I liked the matrix ^^
But since I wud choose star wars, by a slim margin.
I dunno, the characters is Starwars are much more
loveable!... Uhm, besides Legolas.
Now I wanna see a fight between Legolas and Anakin
... O.O

I think I would have to go with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I love both but I think the LOTR films are stunning to watch. The battle scenes are intense and amazing, it looks realistic. They are such wonderful movies with talented actors and Peter Jackson is a great director. I watched a marathon of it in the cinemas and it was just a thrill to watch all together. Some of the scenes are very emotional with lots of meaning behind them. They are just terrific movies in my opinion. They were made so well and are very entertaining to watch. The characters are all portrayed quite well and some of the locations where they filmed the movies are beautiful. Return of the King is one of my favourite films, it's excellent! My Mum is obsessed with Lord of the Rings too lol. She has a huge crush on Aragorn LOL!

I love Star Wars too, plenty of action and entertaining to watch also. I got into Lord of the Rings before Star Wars. I have only become a fan of it recently so I'm going to have to say Lord of the Rings is better. The newest Star Wars movies are okay but they're not the best. The originals are awesome.

Well i hate Star Wars and i like Lord of the Rings so you dont even have to guess what i voted for lol.

I'd have to go with Star Wars on this -- but the originals, not Episodes 1-3. They're much more "classic" than LOTR, and the movies are better than the books -- I think the LOTR movies are good, but not as good as the books, and not as good as Star Wars.

Yeah the books are better but the movie are good for the little scenes of action.

[.:Anima:.]

Well i dont think "Geroge Lucas's: Star Wars" exists.



Only joking, i vote for LOTR because it is far better and the films are closer in time to each other.

LOTR was decent. The epic that was made seemed a little wasteful.

Star Wars... well, the new ones are horrible. A last stab at the nerd community's pocketbooks.

The Matrix.... should have been one movie.

Any three Indiana Jones films beat all you people have talked about.

[Akira]

^This man knows what he speaks of.

Indiana Jones is the undisputed greatest trilogy ever. Each movie is as good as the other and how can you not love Indy and his will to ruin all plans that the nazis concieve. I don't care what anybody says, Harrison Ford will never be too old to make another Indy film.......unless he dies of course......which may happen soon.

Necro-posting is the best \m/

Personally I am going with LOTR series as I've always had an obsession with Feudal era kind of Fantasy's. I saw the SW series years ago but I never got caught into the whole futuristic thing. I would put the Matrix 2nd if it was there, a great unique trilogy.

[Kinney]

I would say LOTR, it was very cool but I didnt like the ending that much it was sort of weird in a way, about Frodo going. I didnt like that, and it was pretty normal, not too much action at the end.

Look to the Encore/Starz channels if you want your LOTR fix because they won't be airing on HBO for sometime now.

The first matrix was awesome, I'll give u that, but the others were such a let-down. the last one was probably the worst, the second one was pretty good though. Not enough for it to be one
