BTY, and this is for everyone questioning my choices, when i made the poll, it wasn't that these were similiar in any way. All i am intending is to get your opinion on which was better. There is no need to bash my choices as all that will do is piss me off. If you like LOTR better, then so be it. If you like POTC better than so be it. LOTR was a great movie and many of us liked it. But not everyone is like us. I am sure there are some people that will say POTC is a better movie trilogy...

This is not even a contest. Lord of the Rings is, far, far better. It is my favorite book of all time, and the best screen adaptation I've ever seen... though the Harry Potter movies are a close second as far as adaptations go.
I do agree that the alteration to Faramir's character was the one change that neither I, nor my wife, could get behind. I don't care that Jackson wanted to show that Aragorn was the only human that could resist the pull of the Ring... to show Faramir succumbing to it like that was a complete alteration of the character.

Ultimately, LOTR is not a trilogy, but rather one movie broken down into three parts. Therefore, Pirates is the better trilogy since it's the only one listed.

I guess that is one way to look at it. But wouldn't many movies that are trilogies actually be the same way. What i mean is, aren't most trilogies just one long movie seperated into 3 parts?...

Dare I ask: how do y'all rank your trilogies? Which comes out on top.

Not really, givent hat most trilogies end up that way due to the first movie scoring so big that it merrits another. Pirates 1, Star Wars 1, Batman begins (we all know anothe ris coming) and so forth all were stand alone films that, if they tanked or didn't earn enough, would be fine stand alone movies. Fellowshipp ended with the Hobbits on their way to Mount Doom...it was intended to have another two parts to complete the story.

having slept on it, I had to vote POTC. in both trilogies, the first movies are good, and it goes downhill from there. but LOTR, the next two movies were simply boring and I didn't find myself entertained for one moment of the combined nearly 6 hours of films, while at least as bad and overdone as the POTC sequels were there were some (very few) entertaining moments and Keira Knightley.
