Lord of the Rings Trilogy is Better than the Harry Potter Trilogy

Rebuttal:LotR Errors, Contradictions & Inconsistencies, Pt. 3Cinema Sins calculated dozens of "sins" per LotR film.FotR=54 http://www.youtube.com...T2T=55 http://www.youtube.com...RotK=63 http://www.youtube.com...Movie Mistakes says there are 212 continuity mistakes in the LotR trilogy. Here are a few to show LotR isn't a flawless masterpiece as claimed.As Boromir and Aragorn talk right before Boromir dies, you can see Boromir's right hand gripping Aragorn's left shoulder in the shot from behind Aragorn's right shoulder, but when the camera view changes to Boromir's perspective, looking up at Aragorn, his hand is not there. When the hobbits are hiding under the tree trunk from the Ringwraith in the beginning, you can see space to the left and right of the tree above them. Logically when the Ringwraith walks past the tree you would see it on the right side of the tree first, then on the left, but you don't - it looks like it walks out of the tree instead of behind it. [Confirmed on the commentaries - Elijah Wood asks his fellow actors if anyone spotted the mistake: 'It kind of magically comes out of the tree'. Sean Astin: 'You mean it doesn't pass from the other side?' Wood: 'No, it comes out from the centre.']When the Fellowship meets in Rivendell, and Gimli tries to break the Ring with his axe, the axe breaks into many pieces on the platform upon which the Ring is laid. At first, the pieces are there in the close-up view. When the camera pans back for a long range view of the Fellowship, the pieces of the axe on the platform are gone. In the following close-up, the pieces magically reappear.Aragorn's mouth is badly bloodied when he is headbutted by Lurtz, but the blood disappears almost immediately.http://www.moviemistakes.com...The Hobbit: 20 Blunders That Ruined An Unexpected Journey(Some excerpts. See original article for full criticism.)20. The Tone Is All Wrong18. Too Much CGI, Not Enough Acting15. Bilbo Is A Passenger, Not A Protagonist13. Azog's Role (This one annoyed me the whole time I was watching the movie)Azog the Defiler as the main antagonist of An Unexpected Journey is a beguiling choice to anyone who has read the book, ...[in the novel] he is killed during a war between the Orcs and the Dwarves, with his head being removed from his body.12. The DwarvesThe Dwarves are easily one of the most disappointing aspects of The Hobbit, not because they're Dwarves, but because they're not developed in any fashion whatsoever....7. Rivendell[In] Rivendell...we get cameo appearances from Saruman (Christopher Lee) and Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). However, neither of these cameos occur in the novel...Jackson decides to throw them in just for the sake of it, another cheap way of milking the Rings' iconography...4. Thorin Is Too SexyJackson alters one of the Dwarves in order to make him a little more appealing...Thorin. Despite sharing much in common with his Dwarven brethren, he appears to have gotten the good share of the gene pool, given that his hair is better-conditioned, and his nose is a regular shape. Add to this a calming voice and handsome face, and it makes for a dreamboat anti-hero that will appeal to many women. In the novel, it's a different story; Thorin is a bumbling oaf who couldn't lead kids to an ice cream van. Also, Jackson makes him out to be less greedy and more honourable than he was in the novel.2. Bilbo & Gollum Riddle Game1. Recycled ScoreThe awards for laziest film score of the year goes to Howard Shore for his work on The Hobbit, given how much of the music was pretty much exactly the same as what we"d heard in The Lord of the Rings films, other than the main theme.http://whatculture.com...Top 11 Dumbest Lord of the Rings Moments(Please see video commentary for proof LotR had major flaws in them.)10. Those Bajillion Endings9. Gimli's Idiot Moments (A Must See to see how terrible Jackson portraits a "hero")8. Legolas' Perfect Moments (A Must See to see how awful VFX killed physical believability)5. I'm Not Dead (Too many fake death scenes for the heros)3. Sam & Frodo's Gayness (This one is a classic film f**k up of a book)1. Those Eagles Could've Stopped Everything (The best logical criticism concerning the eagles).http://www.youtube.com...FALSE INFORMATIONPro wrote that "Around 2009, the U.S. porn industry's revenue of $10-15 billion dollars a year was more than the combined revenue of professional sports and live music combined and roughly on par or above Hollywood's box office revenue." This was his quoted source to use the $10 billion dollar revenue of porn as a device to discredit the higher financial success of HP franchise. However, upon deeper investigation we find that he used an erred source to trumpet a false dollar amount. According Forbes.com "The idea that pornography is a $10 billion business is often credited to a study by Forrester Research . This figure gets repeated over and over. The only problem is that there is no such study. In 1998, Forrester did publish a report on the online "adult content" industry, which it pegged at $750 million to $1 billion in annual revenue. The $10 billion aggregate figure was unsourced and mentioned in passing. For the $10 billion figure to be accurate, you have to add in adult video networks and pay-per-view movies on cable and satellite, Web sites, in-room hotel movies, phone sex, sex toys and magazines"and still you can"t get there. According to Adult Video News (AVN)...Americans spent just over $4 billion to buy and rent adult videos last year. This figure is baseless and wildly inflated. From there, the numbers get even more obscure." It further reveals the net revenues of all pornographic venues to be about $2.6-$3 billion. Pro has not used a "reliable source."WHOSE WORD CAN YOU TRUST MORE: Pro or Stephen King?'[Harry Potter & the] Goblet [of Fire]' is as long as 'Chamber' and 'Prisoner' combined. Is it more textured than the first three? More thought-provoking? Sorry, no. Are such things necessary in a fantasy-adventure aimed primarily at children and published in the lush green heart of summer vacation? Of course not. What kids on summer vacation want -- and probably deserve -- is simple, uncomplicated fun. 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' brings the fun, and not just in stingy little buckets. At 734 pages, 'Goblet' brings it by the lorry load."The most remarkable thing about this book is that Rowling's punning, one-eyebrow-cocked sense of humor goes the distance. At 700-plus pages, one should eventually tire of Blast-Ended Skrewts [etc.]... but one never does. At the least this reader did not. Perhaps that's because Rowling doesn't dwell for long on such amusing inventions as the Quill, which floats in midair and bursts out with florid bits of tabloid prose at odd moments. She gives the reader a quick wink and a giggle before hustling him or her along again, all the while telling her tale at top speed. We go with this willingly enough, smiling bemusedly and waiting for the next nudge, wink and raised eyebrow. ... Rowling's books are better natured, better plotted and better written." http://www.nytimes.com...LotR is not better than HP because the two series are written (and were filmed) in completely opposite languages of human maturity. One is for adults & young adults. One is for preteens & teenagers. Is a Ninja motocycle better than a Mongoose bike for a 12 year old? Is a toy lightsaber better than a katana sword for a veteran martial arts warrior? People aged 9 & up can better understand the HP series versus the same age range can understand the LotR series. This scenario makes HP better literary & cinematic devices for "easily understandable entertainment" than the LotR series.
