I think most do, so its likely that POTC will win this simply because this is a POTC related community! :)

I like POTC because thats a movie that you cant sleep thourgh

LOTR never liked at all.

True, LOTR starts out boring, but it gets REALLY good. You just have to wait for something to happen. I've seen the Two Towers Extended Edition, which is a true 3 and a half hour master piece. (Yes, LOTR is very long. Return of the King Extended Edition is over FOUR HOURS.)

I gotta go with Sven's Apples to Oranges...

Both Movies were very good - but each "theme" is totally different. A futuristic wizard world vs. a pirate world? Not really a comparison there... :) Thats like comparing POTCO vs. WoW because they are both Online Games - comparing two movies with different themes is just too hard to do :)

This is like one of my favorite games:

"Shoits, or showts?"
"Showts."
"Wrong."

"Shoits, or showts?"
"Showts."
"Wrong."

I like the fact that 9 have picked LOTR, but 2 have actually said it.

Superbob94000 06-26-2009 11:48 AM

I know. I liked that. So, either people lied, or people are afraid to tell us what they like more, so they only vote.

LOTR is very futuristic. There's just magic, and very much of the traveling is done by walking or riding horses.

And Talking Trees, and Shape Shifting Lands, and some creatures never seen on this planet, and a "all knowing eye"...

The only thing in common is the horses and the walking! :D

Not to say LOTR wasnt a good serise - I loved it :) But I cant compare it against POTC - Pirates vs. Wizards just isnt the same for me :)

Technically, it's not really the "all knowing eye." It's the eye of the evil king Sauron.

I have always seen LOTR as being Medieval times.
Times of knights and wizards, kingdoms and castles.

Though both are outstanding trilogies, I voted for Pirates. The story is more enjoyable even though it is more complex than LOTR.

The Skirata Clan 06-26-2009 09:55 PM

If anything Pirates is simpler than Rings.

Superbob94000 06-26-2009 10:25 PM

Of course it is! LOTR is VERY complicated.

Eric Daggerskull 06-27-2009 02:23 AM

Not quite for me. Having to follow along with the gold story line, and then the EITC and the whole Davy Jones curse. Pretty confusing.

I like Pirates the game but have not ever and will not ever watch the movies. Everyone I know who shares my taste in movies said they were boring and badly made. I don't know about that, cause it seems to me that the game is pretty good so why make bad movies and a good game? I won't watch because I get grossed out pretty easy, at least by undead stuff and the like.

For me it's Lord of The Rings hands down all the way. If they had a game like Pirates I'd be done. I've watched all three extended movies in one day! The third movie is in fact just under 4 hours with a full half hour of credits. Yes, parts of it thoroughly gross me out, especially the dead city. But Lord Of The Rings is an epic unparalleled to me.

That puts me in the minority here, but here I stand firmly in the LOTR camp and proud of it!
