FotR? TTT? RotK? What's your favorite LotR.
2003-12-23, 5:23 AM #1
I can't really decide.... I was watching the FotR extended and the TTT extended yesterday.. and the day before the originals..and I can't decide which I like better...TTT or FotR... but I THINK..If I had to choose it would be

(Best to Still-awsome-but-not-best)

RotK, TTT, FotR....I think TTT and FotR are just as good as one another.. but since TTT has Ents it just wins...and RotK even with the lack of Ents is still the winner. Pippin and Aragorn American Idol style..w00

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE?!?!

The two towers was the best. Fellowship comes in close second. RoTK falls in a far 3rd.

though I'm seeing ROTK the day after Christmas, so I can't give you my full opinion, but out of the two that I've seen, I can say that FORT was by favorite by far, TTT just didn't impress me the way FOTR did.

for some unknown reason i felt RotK was a bit lacking when i saw it...was a midnight showing and i was failing asleep walking into the cinema, so i'm still holding judgement until i see it again....

midnight showing+failing asleep+ 3hr plus movie = not good idea

so depending on how RotK is on the second viewing it'll be as follows...

RotK+TTT+FotR

or

TTT+FotR+RotK

or

TTT+RotK+FotR

best tilogy ever either way.

Yeah, I really can't order them up. That might be because I just loved them all, or maybe it's just because I saw them each a year apart, so it's kindof hard to compare [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

FotR. Though that's because my favourite character doesn't last past the first movie...and RotK was very good.

I think when the Fellowship is together, the dialogue/action etc. just...works better. The separate storylines are necessary, but this is why TTT is ranked third on my list.

TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!!!

I can totally see why GBK, who is oh so busy with his busy networking jive, would consider himself above LotR nerds!

....


Regardless... Fellowship and Return of the King are tied for first, with RotK maybe a small step ahead, with Two Towers way down at the bottom of the list.

To be honest, I think the Two Towers was a poorly made movie, in a league completely unlike Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King. Its a middle part? What more could you ask for, I guess.. then again, Empire is my favorite Star Wars movie.
