Lord of The Rings versus Star Wars?  | | Who here has seen the Star Wars movies?Who has seen the Lord of The Rings movies?Which series do you like better?Why do you like that series better?Who is your favorite character is the one you like better?What is your favorite scene from the one you like better?I have never really been into the Lord of The Rings movie,and I have never actually watched any of them,but I have heard they are preatty good movies,but I have always have loved the Star Wars movies, because I love Sci-Fi movies,and I love the idea of people fighting with lightsabers,and I love the characters who are in the Star Wars movies.I would have to say that my favorite character from the Star Wars movies would have to be Han Solo because he is sarcastic and he may act selfish but he always came through in a pinch,I would have to say my favorite scene would have to be when Luke is trying to destroy the first Death Star,and Lord Vader is on his tail,and is about to shoot him out of the sky,when out of nowhere Captain Han Solo comes soaring in and sends Lord Vader hurdling into space.What are the Lord of The Rings movies about?Do you think they would be worth my time to watch?What actors play in the movies? How many Lord of The Rings movies are there?

| | | | | | | | 1. rpegan (530) | 3 months ago | I view these as two separate entities that fit two different genres. Therefore, I don't know if they can really be compared on a level outside of acting skill, set, or effects.
| |
| |
|
|
hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | That is true, but I think they are both really popular movies,so that is why I ask which one people on here like better.

| | 2. obidan (307) | 3 months ago | They can't be compared, not by acting, special effects or anything. Why? Star Wars special effects were older ( in the first ones) and they still manage dto create cool looking ships, they rodo-scoped the lightsabers and such. While the Lord of the Rings special effects, because of the genre, consist in Blue Screen(Green Screen) 3D Effects . Acting? Extraordinary, on both sides, they did what was required . It's like saying: The Exorcist vs Epic Movie They were both great movies but 2 very different genres ( like in star wars, swords vs lasers) Exorcist made me scream Epic Movie made me laugh Which one is better?

hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | From what I have heard about Lord of the Rings and from watching Star WarsI think the special effects from both movies are awesome,and the the ones who did the special effects knew what they were doing.And with the acting I know the acting in Star Wars was awesome,and from what I have heard it sounds like the acting in the Lord of The Rings movies is just as good,and I know they are two different genres,but they are both very popular,and both have a lot of fans,I have honestly seen neither of those movies,so I have no idea which one is better, but I usually prefer funny movies to scary movies.

| | 3. nanayangel (2434) | 3 months ago | Hi there hellcowboy! I like Lord of The Rings better but that's because I'm just not into Sci-Fi movies.
| |
| |
|
|
hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | I have heard a lot of good things about Lord of The Rings and I bet they are really good,and I do respect the fact that you arent into Sci-Fi movies,because not everyone is going to like every genre of movie.

| | 4. Jakesnake1978 (1160)  | 3 months ago | I have always seen the Star Wars movies a lot. They teach us all about the force. This is all sci-fi; meaning make believe. This never happened in real life at all. If you see a lightsaber, it is a source of the Force. I enjoy all the characters. I remember Anikan Skywalker who was born into a poor family, then fulfilled his destinies. Then he turned to evil; made into Darth Vader, half man and half machine. Now that his son, Luke Skywalker, has finally defeated him, slashing his right writs and the dark saber. The emporor Palpatine was thrown into the Death Star's power core. Now that Skywalker did his part in turning his father from evil and dark side back to the light and good side. But Vader/Anikan died and Skywalker transported the lifeless body to Endor to be cremated. Now that Anikan joined the others in the Force. To me, in real life, in the Catholic Church in Jesus, when I was fully initiated in Easter 2006, my life and love became one with the Spirit. I always have faith in God.

hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | Star Wars movies do teach us about the force,and stuff that happens in Star Wars doesnt happen in real life,I also remember Anakin growing up in a poor family as a slave,and he went off to become a Jedi,and then Palpatine tricked him and made him a pawn of the darkside,and he became Darth Vader and he became more machine,when he was defeated by Obi-Wan and fell in the lava,and then many many moons later,Luke defeated his father,and then Vader destroyed the emperor by throwing him down the shaft,to save his son,thereby turning him from evil to good,which brough balance to the force, which it was always foreseen for Anakin to do,and then Anakin died and he joined Master Yoda,and Master Obi-Wan and Anakins body was cremated,and I believe like on Star Wars when I die my spirit will become one with God and though my body will die,my spirit will live on for eternity in heaven.

| | 5. hcpoirot (848) | 3 months ago | A toughie ones. TLOR were really good. But so does Star Wars 4-6. I dont care about the 1-3. Its like they were made just to gain more money for George Lucas. I had to said its a tie. TLOR had one of the stunning special effect I had ever seen. But Star Wars visual effect just as amazing for 1977 movie at that time. Both had solid stories and characters.
| |
| |
|
|
hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | Yes it can be a hard choice,and I agree that Episodes I,II,and III could have been made just so George Lucas could make more money,and I have heard that The Lord Of The Rings movies had good special effects and Star Wars had awesome visual effects for movies made in the 1970's, and I agree I think both had solid stories,along with awesome plot twists and really strong characters who were well thought out and and brought the movies too life.

| | 6. darkjedi (947) | 3 months ago | Wow you have never seen the lord of the rings movies? Wow you are really missing out, if you havent read the books you should do that too. As you can see by my name and avatar i love star wars, but i love the LOTR movies too. You cant compare the characters or movies at all, they are both good and both very different types of movies. What are they about? Wow you really need to read the books and watch the movies WAAAAAAAAAY to much to go into here. And there are only 3 LOTR movies. Now as you can see from my avatar I support the galactic empire, though i do like the rebels too lol. Also think about this the first death star was completed and manned by only military. Now the second death star was still being constructed. Now who builds something? Contracted employees of construction firms. Hmmm so the rebels blew up the second death star and killed lots of innocent men and women who were there just for a job. Now to end this. HAN SHOT FIRST.

hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | I would read the books but I have never really liked reading,but I might try and watch the movies one day, thanks for letting me know there are only three movies, and thats really cool that you love Star Wars,and its cool that you support the Empire,and yeah the first Death Star was built and manned by military,but it was still vulnerable,and even though they may have only been contracted employees of construction firms,I wouldnt call them innocent because they were working on something to conquer the universe,and that makes them in my opinion accompices to that fact,and I know Han shot first,but I applaud him for that,and if I was him I would have shot first too.

| | 7. Fishmomma (3201) | 3 months ago | This is easy Lord of the Rings, as watched the movie twice when the movie released in 1978. I'm talking about the first 10 days when the lines were long. This was amazing for me, as don't like long lines. I taught 5th and 6th grade and for English they read Lord of the Rings. The students enjoyed it so much that they decided to do a play for their parents. It was so much fun to see students want to attend class, as you had to be in class each day or couldn't be in the play. When the word went out about the play all of the 5th and 6th graders wanted to have a part, so the entire 5th and 6th grade read the book.

hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | Thats cool that you watched the movie twice when it was released,and thats cool that you stood in long lines to see it,thats very interesting that you taught 5th and 6th grade and that the enjoyed the books,and that they decided to do a play for their parents,and I am glad that was a good motivator to get the kids to show up each day for claas.

| | 8. applefreak (911) | 3 months ago | i've not really watched star wars. however i'm a GREAT fan of the LOTR series. i even read the books to know more about the story. my favourite character must be aragorn, or strider. there are a total of three LOTR movies though you should watch it as one. meaning a total of nine hours sitting in front of the tv to complete the trilogy at one go. even if you don't like mythical stories, just the scenery is already worth you while. i can't really say which is my favourite scene. go watch it, you'd not regret it.

hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | Thats cool that you have never watched Star Wars, and that is also cool that you are a great Lord of The Rings fan,and thats cool that you have read the books,I never have liked reading or I would read the books,,who is Aragorn?Who is Strider?Thats cool that there are three movie,even though nine hours is a long time to sit infront of a television lol,but it sounds like it would be worth it,and I do kind of like mythical stories,and I will try to rent them sometime,and I defitnally think it will be worth watching from all the good responses I am getting about it.

|
applefreak (911) | 3 months ago | strider is actually a name that aragorn uses when he travels far and wide. he is played by Viggo Mortensen though he looks so different in the show. i fell in love with the character as it was so well played. though most people likes the elf legolas or the wizard gandalf, i still like aragorn. go and rent it, you'll not regret it. though it's best to do it over a long weekend or something when you have no other commitments. it can be rather addictive. i've watched it at home myself twice though i've already caught it at the cinema. i'm planning on doing it again.:D
| |
|
|
hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | oh thats cool that Strider is the name that Aragorn uses when he travels far,and I would have never guessed that they were one in the same,I dont think I have ever heard of Viggo Mortensen but he sounds very good at what he does,I will defitnally go rent it sometime, though right now it is quite difficult to leave house due to the high gas prices,and I will defitnally heed your advice and watch it when I have no other commitments,and thats cool that you plan on watching it again,and it does sound like it can get quite addicting.

| | 9. hanirose (163) | 3 months ago | as they're both fantasy movies I think I'd say Lord of the Rings. Everybody's been fantasizing about space and I think it's not original or something new anymore. Im just amazed how Tolkien imagined a whole universe with different characters. It just means he's a genius and way beyond other people's thinking. I mean just look, Gollum, Gandalf.. etc.. I just like how he portrayed the characters and the settings and the whole story. Hats off to him!

|
|
hellcowboy (1642) | 3 months ago | Yeah they are both fantasy movies and I agree everybody has been dreaming about space and it is losing its edge,and yeah Tolkien is a genious for his ideas of a mythological world,filled with different characters,and it sounds like the plot is awesome and that the actors he got to portray the characters were an awesome choice .
