Lord Of The Rings Vs Star Wars

[SuperJude™]

I was only basing this on the first 2-3 Star Wars movies since of course the recent editions have been nothing but eye candy.

I also believe that you can not compare these movies. They are two different types of movies in two different time periods.

I was just comparing them as epic vs epic, not genre vs genre.
I realize that alot of die-hard star wars fans will feel at the ready to defend it so I'll agree to disagree

reasons why i don't like LOTR:

- annoying stupid orchestra soundtrack to make the world seem bigger
- Elijah Wood doing that eye rolling thing (my old french teacher used to do that)
- 15 minute talking bits
- 4 hour movie, that is open ended (ARGHGGHG)
- mindless killing ended in the worst way ("yay, let's ride into the sunset(rise)")
- it's a book, probably should have stayed that way (JRR Tolkien is probably going nuts)
- a pretty cool elf guy doesn't do anything in the both movies
- that line "you'll have to toss me, don't tell the elf"

reasons why i like Star Wars (the good ones, and not the special editions):

- X-wings (see avatar, when it works)
- AT-AT Walkers
- Lightsabres
- Classic quotes "i was once but the learner, but now i am the master"
- Classic soundtrack
- Classic openings
- The senile wise one (Yoda)
- The way the Death Star is destroyed ("you're all clear kid, now lets blow this thing and go home")
