I love both equally.
wish the hobbit was better though , like the star wars prequels, it just disappointed

I can't link to it because of language, but in "Clerks 2" Randall has the most accurate analogy of Lord of the Rings that has ever existed.
Not a fan of LOTR AT ALL. Left the theatre at the end of the 3rd one when he was doing his 45 minute ending sequence of frodo in bed and yada yada yada. I mean jesus buddy we get it the movie is over lets get out of here. That one is for the king of dorks IMO, star wars at least has spaceship fights.
Lord of the Rings? lol
Peter Jackson can lick my taint.

I'm not into either one but my son is. I'm going to put Star Wars in front by a good margin because I can watch a Star Wars movie with him and be entertained. Watching a LOTR movie is like torture.
I'm sure on some planet there are giant spiders in the star wars galaxy. I mean after all we've already seen a giant preying mantis type insect.
On a a whole the 3 Lord of the Rings movies are put together better than most of the Star Wars films.
The Books are way better than both tho.

LOTR benefited greatly with better CGI. That's it. Episode 4,5,6 I thought were way better acting. and Gandalf was the one person who saved LOTR.
I also find it hilarious how much McKellen cried out during the making that LOTR sucks effin balls because he never wanted to act alone in a green screen. He said that's not how movies are supposed to be made.

That third film was horrendous. It ended with a 45 minute tickle-fest.
I enjoyed the second film with the final battle stuff. Really never enjoyed any of the Sam and Frodo hobbit stuff. It was always a little too gay.
Here in the Paddock we celebrate diversity. This person is obviously special. He tapes his wiener under his butt. He's a hero.
I guess it comes off that way but I look at it they way Tolkien intended it. Sam and Frodo's friendship is based on the friendships Tolkien saw form when he was in the trenches in France during World War 1. They go to hell and back together.
Words cannot express how disappointed I am in you.
Episode VI, opening scene as C3-PO and R2 are walking into Jabba's palace. Before the door closes behind them, you see a silhouette behind them that is clearly a gigantic spider, to which C3PO reacts with an "ooooOOOOOO!!!"
What is kind of interesting is Return of the King was by far the worst of the three LOTR films and it won Best Picture and pretty much everything else. I guess it was just given to them for the collective work because that film was not very good at all.
However, the Battle of Helms Deep was pretty awesome in Two Towers.

I lean heavily to Wall2Boogie or whichever account Z (toasted anus) is posting under at the time.
@TriangleUKCat posting gives us back-to-back DDL avatars. Awesome.
I can paraphrase this from Clerks 2 about LOTR -
All they did in Lord of the Rings was walk. Hell, even the trees walked in that movie.
Boom - genius.

I liked LOTR better, but that's what I grew up with. As Bill Burr Says: "I don't get Star Wars... I had perspective, like I saw it when I was 27 and was like 'Yeah, It's alright'"
So when is the Wheel of Time going to be made into a set of movies? that damn series has more complexity than LOTR and Star wars combined.
anyone Watch the Shannara chronicles that just started on MTV? Its like the CW show "the 100" and LOTR had a slow baby.
If that's based on the David Brooks books, yikes. Read them as a kid and loved them. Tried to reread on a deployment (nothing else to do), and they are just simple. Also a LOTR knockoff.
Also, LOTR is not complex. The Silmarilion and other writings that delved into the history were complex mythologies, but poorly written (as they were mostly just first drafts and notes, it's not surprising). Star Wars as portrayed in the movies are not complex, but apparently the books/games/expanded universe are quite intricate (haven't explored all this, but some friends have).
I love the honest trailers take on movies, and they really made lotr look pretty goofy.
They didnt do a trilogy one for star wars, but their take on the first one is pretty funny too.

If we're talking Lego treatment of said trilogies, and I decided that I am, then Star Wars gets the nod.
Because lasers.
Both fall short of The Lego Movie, though.

In terms of quality:

You're supposed to read it as if there was a Big Bang Theory laugh-track attached to it.
You shut your herpes ***** mouth.
Have you created an Emmy Award nominated comedy recently?
I didn't think so slut.
