Name a flaw. I can't think of one that I can't instantly refute.
I watched the extended versions the first time. I didn't even want to watch the second one, because at the end of four hours I got the line now let's go fight some orcs. I was literally like I just watched four hours of crap and not one major step was taken.
I actually do not think that LOTR is a trilogy it was one very long story, that a publisher said was too long for 1 book so they divided it into 3, and they did the same with the movie. I think that automatically disqualifies it. The first movie is an excellent example, why did they cut it off there? It wasn't like there was a reason to, like the death star blew up.

Sorry you can't appreciate it. It's clearly not for everyone.

Agreed.

I think watching the extended episodes first was my mistake, but it was all I had to watch. It defiantly made it drawn out.

Well, it was the breaking of the Fellowship, to where thats the best moment they could have. It was pretty much a singular plotline in Fellowship, but in Two Towers and Return of the King, you have multiple plotlines going on.

It's LoTR by a lot. And I love Star Wars.

And I like Star Wars too. But LOTR is just epic in every sense of the word...great acting, great story, beautiful scenery, great effects...it'll always be one of my favorites
The acting was average at best for LORD OF THE RINGS
Star Wars and Indiana Jones For The Tie!
Back to the future is 3rd.
( i watched all 3 LOTR (twice), and they were good, but not great )

Please name one performance in Star Wars or Indiana Jones that exceeded Sean Astin, Ian McKellan, Billy Boyd, Sean Bean, and especially Andy Serkis. If you are going to use this as a point, please provide something to counter it.

How can anyone say Indy over Lord of the Rings? Star Wars I can understand, but Indy? Seriously, there is no argument. Lets compare the blonde love interests. In Indy she bitches non-stop and makes you want her to die and cheer for Indy not to succeed in saving her. In the other she stands up to a demon who rides a 10,000 pound dragon and carries around a 100 pound mace as his main weapon, and she takes him down. I just don't think you can provide a rational explanation on why Indy is better than Lord of the Rings.

What the hell? Why isn't Mad Max listed with these? All three of those, we're badass. There was no let down with the sequel or anything. Each one was better the the last.

Are you sure you want to compare love interest?
I am sure that is not the only time Frodo's eyes looked like that.
Eta: I have not heard anyone confirm or argue that it is a true trilogy.

Sam marries Rosie Cotton in the film, so no he isn't gay. It's established 15 minutes into the first film that he has a thing for her. Frodo and Sam are simply best friends in a world of shite to where they need to comfort each other in order to get through their ordeals.

and it will be interesting to see where Nolan's Batman trilogy ranks once it's finished

I'm hopeful on Nolan's Batman. As a student of the cinema, Lord of the Rings is better filmmaking. As a fanboy, give me Star Wars and Indy.

Which is the better trilogy?
I will say that both of them had great beginnings. A New Hope is a great movie, as is The Fellowship of the Ring.
The sequels are even better. Empire Strikes Back and The Two Towers were both better movies.
Return of the Jedi would have been great if it weren't for the damn ewoks and the dancing end scene. Return of the King was the weakest of the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well.
