Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

This question is as hard as picking between 217 and 229. Which nerd saga do you love more? Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

I don't think Star Wars will be winning 11 Oscars. No Contest.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

I think that the original Star Wars trilogy bests the Lord of the Rings anyday, simply because it was so innovative, and it has changed the way that we see movies to day. Lord of the Rings wouldn't have been possible without the techniques pioneered by George Lucas in the Star Wars Trilogy.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

I'm in the class of too close to decide.

As movies go:

Episodes IV - VI > LOTR > Episode III

Episodes I-II count as bloopers -_-.

As literature goes, you guys have to realize that you won't understand LOTR movies until you read LOTR books, including the ultra-long Silmarillion. There is so much there that you can't get from a film.

So with books, LOTR tops Star Wars with immense ease.

Why isn't there an option for "neither one"? That'd be my vote.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

Even though I haven't seen all of the movies in completion, Star Wars beats Lord of the Rings just due to the fact that it spawned one of the greatest cultural revolutions that America has ever seen. No movie that I know of has ever cause so many people dress up in $100+ costumes, fight with light sabers, and wait days, even months in line for its release in theatres. No contest whatsoever.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

Let's see... Anakin, Luke, or Legolas? :ahh: I have to go with Star Wars for a better plot, but LotR has more hot guys (>.> My feminism is showing) + more sword fighting headlopping off... Good battle scenes. Plus I'm a history geek and LotR is pretty acurate for Midieval Fantasy. -nodnod-

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

LOTR is far far superior due to a better script and acting. Star Wars by comparison is childish.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

agreed....how about an option for "Back to the Future" or "Madmax"?

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

apples and oranges

and this we worry about?

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

The LOTR series are definetly way to long to watch. It makes me cry at night.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

LOTR is better than Star Wars becuase of the quality in the script and plot. It was much more thought out. The acting was better too. Just my opinion.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

this is a crazy poll....but i have to defend star wars...grew up with it in my household

go STAR WARS!! may the force be with you all...

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

You don't need to read the books to get the movies, but it sure does help.

I've read 2/3 of the trilogy, and The Hobbit, and surprisingly, I actually like the movies more. Probably because I saw them first though.

Re: Star Wars or Lord of the Rings?
 

The books were much too descriptive. It doesn't take 5 pages to describe a man coming over a hill and singing.
