The Lord of the Rings movie series in superior to the Star Wars movie series.

Personally, I myself like LOTR more, but I acknowledge that Star Wars are the better films. So lets get into this. For your first point, yes, costumes and things may appear to be better, but keep in mind, the original Star Wars was made at a time where film production was on low budgets, also didn't have the technology like we currently do today. There was no Adobe After Effects and post production software that could make cool visual effects. For your second point, you said Lord Of The Rings had a better story? Well, that's entirely 100% opinion based. No ifs, or buts, that's strictly an opinion. For your third point, yes the acting wasn't as top notch, but does that make it a bad film? Obviously millions upon millions around the world love Star Wars. If the acting was so unwatchable like you over exaggerated, then hardly anyone would love the films. I mean, nothing more needs to be said on this subject other than that. As for the actors, Star Wars has had more big names in their films like Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and just so many. Who was in Lord Of The Rings again? For your fourth point, how do you know for sure everyone would have died in Lord Of The Rings if the bad guys were to have won? The film never ended with the bad guys truly winning to know for sure, but I would rather bet the farm that instead of wiping the world and killing everyone, it would go something similar to the end of Harry Potter Deathly Hollows Part 2 where Lord Voldemort in one of the last few scenes instead of killing everyone completely, he more or so wanted everyone to join his alliance, and pledge their allegiance to him. (Sure everyone else might have died although I somewhat doubt it, they would have problem been treated as slaves, like in the school with the bad guys now the overhead watch and stuff). I'm sure Lord Of The Rings would have ended similar if the bad guys won. As for being the stakes being greater? You can't just say something morally bad is more bad than something else morally bad because it's still bad no matter what. 5: Prequels are known to suck, most debates consist of judging originals, and this what this debate will be more or less based on for an better understanding. However, more so those are opinion none the less, so, I am going to go over some film accomplishments with you. Star Wars in itself has sold more mechandise than Lord Of The Rings ever will. I personally think Lord Of The Rings, won't even come close to having a fraction being made than what Star Wars has. The only thing Star Wars did well on was film gross on release and such, again coming at a time and a day in age where movies generally gross way more than older movies do since they are so widely open to the public(but Star Wars remains more popular and more liked over LOTR), but going back to sells, Star Wars has tons of merchandise in all categories, LEGO's, Cups, tons of shirts, MORE GAMES, and just everything, and I mean, I wouldn't be surprised they got Star War tooth brushes. - This is a win for SW. Lets not forget what Star Wars has done for the film industry, and it's accomplishments that surpass Lord Of The Rings. Star Wars in itself has sparked the film industry with ideas, interventions, there is a reason why people always talk Star Wars, and you don't hear anything about LOTR. From wikipedia "James Cameron, Dean Devlin, Gareth Edwards,[187] Roland Emmerich, John Lasseter,[188] David Fincher, Peter Jackson, Joss Whedon, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, John Singleton, and Kevin Smith all have been influenced by Star Wars". Star Wars has sparked space travel even, and in general has helped many actors, actresses blow up big. It's won many awards, many nominations, and in just about every top 10 list for different categories, something will consist of Star Wars. If Lord Of The Rings was truly better, it would be more popular (which isn't the case, but you'd think a film in todays age that grossed more in theaters would be). It would have more merchandise than what it does, but again Star Wars has sold so much more, and also more memorable characters outside of Gandalf when you can just list tons of memorable characters from Star Wars. Like I said, you claimed the story was better for LOTR, but none of the characters are memorable, so is the story really that better? Better than something that was the first of its kind? Better than something that has influenced the world ever since? Don't worry, you still have time to repent, may the force be with you.
