Fishflesh Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 To get the offtopic stared a bid... let's putt up a poll. I had this debate whit a mate in Amsterdam a few weeks agow at wich one is better... what do you think? and why?
Jan Gaarni Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 LotR. I don't know why realy, I just know which one I've seen the most. Not to mention, which one and what kind of versions I have on my shelf. I don't know, I guess I didn't like too much how Matrix ended, or didn't end. Matrix is a cool movie series, but I like LotR much more.
El Sitherino Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 easy. Lord of The Rings. I can't see how anyone could choose the matrix over it.
Pho3nix Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 LotR Definately. I don't think that you can really compare the two. As for Matrix, I thought it sucked.
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 >_> Seriously. LotR. Better story, better characters and most of all, much better ending(if you can consider that crap at the end of Matrix Revolutions an ending at all...)
darthfergie Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 LOTR...there isn't any competition...especially since I thought the second and third matrix films were second rate, while the LOTR films started off good and they got better with each movie.
Com Raven Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 LotR, no doubt about it. I hated Matrix 2, and didn't even bother with the third...
Sabretooth Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 LoTR. Haven't seen the Matrix trilogy, so I really shouldn't have voted.
PoM Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Maybe not...But you would have voted lotr anyway... My vote: Matrix! Lotr!
swphreak Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 LOTR > Matrix Better story, acting, and just plain awesome.
Doomie Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 I'd hafta go with LotR, if even only for the ending. I mean, at the ending of RotK, i was like: 'wow, nice story, seems like everything is fine again.' At the end of The matrix 3, i was like: 'Dude, WTF?'
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 As of now it's 13-0 for LotR. I guess the poll is over then.
Evil Dark Jedi Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Make that 14-0. LotR obviously. Matrix sucked.
Lady Jedi Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 LOTR, no doubt. I like each and every one. Whereas the Matrix is good and all, but they just seemed to fizzle out, ya know? The first one is AWESOME! The next, a bit lame and kind of stupid, but enjoyable nonetheless. The last one: really good, but not as good as I had hoped. Then again it had way too much hype to live up to. So, yep. LOTR has my vote.
Augustus_Leto Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Definitely LOTR. I like the first Matrix a lot, but I really was disappointed with the other two. LOTR on the other hand just increased in awesomeness!
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Who voted for the Matrix?! I demand you to show yourselves to answer to this outrage!
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 An outrage I say! You little heretics! *shakes fist*
Revan Solo Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!! I like the games and the films but mostly I like the books. I have got respect of Tolkien because he created his own world.
stingerhs Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 lotr trilogy ranks up there with sw as one of my favorite movie series of all time. the matrix just, well, this should sum it up for me: the matrix>>reloaded>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>revolutions by itself, the first is one of the better movies out there, the rest just seem so second rate.
Pho3nix Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, I mean the first Matrix was ok. But the last two (especially the last one) sucked...alot.
Nairb Notneb Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 LOTR is better only in movie form and in its complete epic and classic sense. I personally loved the ending of Matrix and thought that it was perfect for the series. The theme of Matrix is "What is reality?" and in the end you are still asking that very same question.
Jan Gaarni Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Yeah, I guess I don't like those kinds of movies. I guess that's what I loved about the ending of LotR, that it picked up the pieces alittle more than you're used to with movies.

lukeiamyourdad Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Really? I never wondered about that at the end of the third Matrix movie. The first, yes. The second, I was more puzzled with what the architect was talking about. The third movie, what the...? You can't really end a whole trilogy by just having a weird truce. The second movie left many questions unanswered. People expected them to be answered in the third movie. So instead of answering thse questions, we got even more questions. What happens to the humans now? It's a truce, not a peace treaty so do they live on and prosper in a symbiotic relationship with the machines while still keeping their freedom? What of the machines? Will they keep their word? What of Neo? Alive? Dead? It was never clear.
