Without LOTR -there might not be a Star Wars -LOTR set the benchmark and was hugely influential on both the fantasy and Sci-fi genre that followed ...it's well documented that George Lucas was a fan of Tolkien's work as a kid.

But yeah, at the end of the day, they're both great films -why does it have to be a comp? Just eat ya damn popcorn and enjoy them both.

We're not comparing effects kid, that's irrelevant.

LOTR trilogy won 17 academy awards including the ones that matter. More than any other trilogy.

I love both but the moment the phantom menace dropped this ceased to be debatable

Anyone in here with a brain knows no one is talking about the phantom menace

And Since when do the Oscars guarantee that a movie is entertaining?

They all star wars though.. The fact you have to disregard 3 movies speaks for itself 

Even if you take them out though it's still a toss up.

And winning oscars doesn't guarantee anything. It's more about recognition... It's why NT favs like spiderman and transformers have never won best picture. LOTR are good films, you just don't like them which is fine.

Entire Prequel Trilogy > Having to sit thru that last 20 minutes of ayo-ness in ROTK

SW for me.  I've seen it so many times and still never change the channel anytime SpikeTV has their marathons.

Star Wars, I like LOTR but it never hit me like Star Wars

 

[rawsheed]

I know people hate the length of the LOTR films but the extended version of The Return of the King is really good

Ok why don't I add 3 stupid fantasy movies with dwarfs similar LOTR into the mix to make things even? Phantom menace was trash, but the three original star wars movies + episode 3 (yea I said it) are leaps and bounds better than anything in LOTR

How would you guys put star trek against LOTR?

Lotr dragged on pretty bad in some areas .Star wars first 3 was far more captivating to me when I was a kid .I still don't enjoy tolkeins books or films .I respect the work he put into though.Even though the orcs were depicted as blacks
