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.

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

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

It all depends on what I'm in the mood for. I love both and they are so different that it's almost impossible for me to decide. When you compare them they both have pros and cons. It all depends on what your basis would be. I can sit and watch both series all the way through no prob, on the days that I get aggravated easily I skip the whole Jar Jar moments or I have to look away from the cg inaccuracies in LOTR. There are continuity flaws in both movies so really it depends on the day and my mood.

Can I just say that both are pretty good?

The Lightsaber duels are wicked (especially in the prequels) but I also go head over heals for the chivalry and Medieval culture in LotR.

LOTR is so totally defnitely better. really. i mean, dont get me wrong, i do love star wars (i havent watched revenge of the sith yet! aaaaa! i am watching it next thursday, after my last final exam, at the 7:20 showing ) but LOTR beats it out totally. i still remember, when FOTR came out i was like 'meh' cuz i had seen the animated version and i hated it because it sucked, and i didnt really want to go watch it (my dad was really enthu though), but my mom was like 'anj clean your room' so it came down to clean my room with mom or go to FOTR with dad and i obviously took FOTR and i took a friend and we were both wowed. and i have been a die-hard fan ever since. it also helps that my sixth grade self had a crush on orlando bloom
