LOTR or Matrix

[Mr.Nerdy]

if you had to pick between the upcoming matrix movie and the return of the king, which yould you choose?

[sushi128]

lol, the first thing i thought of when i got all excited about "Revolutions" was "Shit, it's gonna compete with LOTR at the box office...."

i REALLY want LOTR to win, after losing out on the first 2 movies (the academy is so shitty). LOTR better win every fuckin award there is to win this year.

as far as the one opening on thursday, it doesn't have me as hyped as i am for return of the king.

that said, i'd take LOTR by a nose.

Matrix totally rules! All the characters in LOtR are just batteries, and only THE ONE could save them!!! Isn't that what we're fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for...??:D

[sushi128]

Gandalf is NOT a fuckin battery :mad:

[Hitman]

Add Star Wars to that list.. visually all 3 movies rock but the Matrix is definately my fav of the bunch, i'm all about bending people into weird positions as they are tied up on cables and older women in tight leather and sweaty people in caves having sex and rolling on xtacy... oops umm ok yea Matrix rules.

[kneo69]

Definately the Matrix!:D There can only be ONE!

[RADiator]

Matrix! I already red all 3 books of LOTR so nothing new there for me.

[blind_mad_cow]

I couldnt choose from the 2 on anyday, i will cherrish them both. But i did vote and it was for matrix only b/c its comming out sooner.

*drools* ghajebayemmmarrcoomreyheiioo... (Ed- DAMN I want to see these movies :D)

[Downfall]

definelty Matrix

[Odm]

Now that I've calmed down from my state of joyful insanity, I'll add my opinion. Like RADiator said, matrix is a new story, but I think both movies will be awesome. Just I'm more hyped up about the matrix because it's coming out soon!

[ReDeeMeR]

LOTR Definately, Matrix is just a bull story with awesome effects to sell, it'll be an awesome experience but nothing more.

[Odm]

I like the bullshit story! :D

[Sergio]

sorry, the premise of the matrix is more appealing to me

plus the time period LOTR doesn't really appeal that much to me.

[Yian]

Way to go Sergio! Matrix is definitely the ONE!!!

[Odm]

I think both will be amazing... MATRIX COMING SOON!!!

[Downfall]

yeah and the 3rd Matrix movie will be coming in November i think....so we dont have to wait a year between movies like we did for LOTR

[sushi128]

that's right. u waited 4 years instead :)

[Hobbes874]

[Freakonaleash89]

I love LOTR but the Matrix is much more interesting.

Tolkien gave birth to todays world of RPG, D&D and whatever. His books are godly. Matrix is a phase - it will pass. As for the LOTR movies - who can tell? I'm buying the DVD boxset as soon as it's released.

My man! (sorry bout all bull I said before :)

[ghiop]

I agree. I think that once they make movies with better visuals, then all that the Matrix will have to stand on is the quasi-philosophical business, and, quite frankly, that won't last long either. It's been done before, and will be done again.
LOTR has kept people coming for years and years before the movies and will keep them coming after.

Not to say that the Matrix doesn't kick all kinds of ass for the time being though.

[mR-D]

I'd say the Matrix because i hate all the 'Lord of the Rings ' Movies....



Well... that's my opinion.

[future man]

It is unfortunate you will die at such a wonderful young age my life expectancy challenged friend.

As long as you are just talking about the movies, I like matrix better. LOTR will be great but I'll like the book better. The movies are great and all (best ever translation from book to movie, part of that due to the fact LOTR doesn't have all that many different plot strands going on at the same time like Dune) but Matrix is concieved as being a movie, that is the Matrix's medium, print will always be LOTR's medium of choice.

I have never uttered the words "Don't read the book, just wait for the movie" with exception to that Micheal Chriton POS, Jurrassic Park.

Also, Reloaded has a 14minute long chase sequence, and a sequence where Neo fights 100 smiths. To quote Keanu's words "whoa". Oh, and just in case you wanted to know, Keanu means "wind from the hills" in Hawaiian, I got's ta malama da kama'aina.
