Which would you rather watch? Lord of the rings Trilogy or the new Star Wars Trilogy Episodes I-III?
I think LOTR is great and has wasted many of my Sunday afternoons, but Star Wars is Star Wars so I'll go for that.

had it been based on reading the book rather than the film i'd have gone with LOTR
but LOTR films, despite their greatness, are a bit slow, esp the extended editions
where-as the 1st 3 star wars films for me have more action and better score.
although LOTR does have Liv Tyler which is worth a few bonus points

there is a theory by some very clever dude that goes.......
"anyone who is a big fan of star wars has usually committed countless sex crimes"

Difficult one as I would go with both, being a huge fan of the 2 franchises. So yes I'm a huge pervert.
The fact Kent compared LOTR to episodes 1-3 mean for me I go with LOTR but not if he'd have compared to 4-6 or indeed 1-6.
erm...where was I? Also, the ext editions make the LOTR film even better, why do you think I'm moving out there to New Zealand, the scenery is just as immense if not more in real life.

Star Wars, though i dont really give a shit about that now either. Pretty much agree with Randall with everything he says about Lord of the *yawns*

LOTR for me.
4,5,6 star wars are right up there. 1,2 and 3 are absolutely awful.

Thats a tricky one. I think I would have to say Star Wars not because 1, 2 and 3 are good films it's just that they are shorter. I can get it over with quickly and then carry on with the rest of my life. I just never got into LOTR for a start the frigging book was too big, I read comics, played my C64 and played out with my mates when I was a kid. I never felt the urge to pick up a book that was thicker than the bible.
This version is good though.

The birth of Darth Vador, so defining, yet Lucas cocks it up. Episode 1 has Darth Maul and an awsome lightsaber duel between Obi Wan and Maul, episode 2 is a bit ropey, but 3 is class, order 66 scene is immense.
