matrix v. LOTR trilogy

now that the return of the king has come out, which trilogy do you think is better, the matrix trilogy or the LOTR trilogy? The first matrix kicked ass, good story and everything, but the second one basically had little plot, but awesome action scenes, and the third had a pretty good plot with lots of sick action. The movies in the LOTR trilogy were all good in terms of action and plot, and i think they got better as they went from 1st to 3rd, with a climax of the return of the king, which might be the best movie i have ever seen.

Considering these trilogies, whcic do you think is the better one?

i searched this topic and came up with nothing so dont flame me if something like it was already posted.

First, I think you need to watch some better movies, second, LOTR kicks the crap out of the matrix, no contest, because aside from the first movie, the matrix trilogy BLOWS. The second one was a waste of time and the 3rd was mediocre.

the lotr was the most 'epic' trilogy ever made. the matrix was amazing and as much as i wanted to love the trilogy the 2nd 2 could not live up to the 1st one.

They're three movies (or literary volumes) that tell a continuing story which is concluded in the third installment. That's a trilogy.

The first Matrix movie was awesome. The second was alright. The third was atrocious.

The LOTR trilogy never lost its flair or quality. All of the movies were great.

agreed. LOTR hands down, because the second two matrixs were the biggest wastes of my life. they really ruined what could have been a good trilogy. On the other hand, LOTR was awesome, all the way through.

Whoever said LOTR wasn't a trilogy-- The Hobbit is not part of the LOTR series. It's the 'enchanting prelude'

'The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel...' First line of the Note on the Text in one of my editions. Star Wars is not a trilogy either, it's a tale consisting of 9 episodes

^^Once again Krongos, I have to mention the godfather trilogy. Best trilogy of all time.

^ It's a single story in three volumes over six books. Call it whatever the hell you want. I've seen Tolkein himself refer to it as a trilogy. In this case it's a trilogy of MOVIES, that's for damn sure.

Godfather III was mediocre. but so was TTT. And the original movie, part I, is so vastly superior to any of the LOTR movies that it's really no contest.

like slickjamesjik have said, lotr is not a trilogy, you can find it in 1 book, 3 book and there is some edition in 6 book i think. Im not sure but in a real trilogy, you can read or watch it in wich order you want.

holy crap what a stupid argument... we're talking about the movies anyways so it doesn't matter if the books are a trilogy or not. There are three movies. Thus a trilogy of movies. Everyone can shut up about this now.

so,are there anything that bothers you with the movie? It's so ugly the way the two tower end, when faramir get attract by the ring or when all the elve went to the battle of deep helm. That kinda turn me off. it's normal that they miss some points but they shouldn't change the story. also when leogolas did a slide on the stair with his shield, it was so fucking ugly.
