The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King vs The Dark Knight vs Avatar

[x1onexwo1fx]

the ultimate showdown of (three of) the past decade's best movies

http://www.imdb.com/chart/2000s
(would've done a top 10, but then there'd be three lotr movies, two movies directed by christopher nolan, three foreign movies, and WALL-E, so i decided to do only these three.)

[jwicklun]

return of the king simply because the epic battle sequences and the fact it closed the trilogy. I still love Dark Knight, and I though Avatar was great in terms of special effects, but not story.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

gotta be return of the king.

[<*)))><]

Dark knight just plain epic.
/thread

[princesschad]

return of the king.

[sleepyseanzzz]

return of the jedi

[x1onexwo1fx]

return of the jedi

that was in another decade, sir.

[brandnewsheep]

Although i thought Avatar was brilliant, LOTR ftw.

[Tristan Needler]

Return of the King, obviously.

[x1onexwo1fx]

avatar was amazing, but as for its story, i kept making connections to movies i've already seen before. the dark knight, on the other hand, was a work of literary genius...

i just saw the return of the king for the first time last night. it is the perfect film. as much as i love tdk, my vote has to go to lotr.

[danielineffigy]

Return of the King. The Dark Knight is amazing but better than ROTK?

The two people who voted Avatar are ridonkulous.

[domotime2]

The Lord of the Rings was an amazingly told epic of a story with a very exciting, edge of your seat and well done finale (oscar). The Dark Knight is just a superhero movie that was done better than most, that's basically it.

[fourletterword]

dark knight

[:-)]

LOTR. Without any question. One of the most epic films I have ever seen.

@anyone who votes for Avatar: you have bad taste in movies

[abandonship]

Lotr

[beazer32]

LOTR is obviously the better story, and I love the books... but Dark Knight might be a more enjoyable film.

..voted for LOTR anyway

[mrnegativezero]

Avatar should really not be on the top of 2000's. My gut tells me to vote Dark Knight because I enjoyed it a lot, and saw it multiple times. But LOTR is probably a better movie plot wise... I don't know, I feel like I should watch Return of the King before I cast my vote.

Also lol at ruling WALL-E out of this poll.

[i'm a big deal.]

Dark Knight, considering its the only one I saw of the three.

[Peacemaker]

return of the jedi
Seconded.

i usually prefer Japanese animation over American, but WALL-E is amazing. it just doesn't fit in here.

[mrnegativezero]

Ah, I love anime as well, although I've sort of dropped out of watching it regularly. That aside, I was going to question it, but then I realized that, yeah, it's an oddball against those three.

[lauren1234]

Dark Knight, hands down.

[Oh_Snap!:O]

dark knight

[AMackChuck]

The Dark Knight because I didn't see or care much for the last LOTR movie and Avatar kept me on the edge of my seat...debating whether I should leave a movie I paid 10 dollars to see. :-p

[timb89]

LOTR is obviously the better story, and I love the books... but Dark Knight might be a more enjoyable film.

in terms of story you can't really rank lotr in originality seeing though it was written decades earlier.

[:-)]

I wouldn't be surprised if some people were voting for TDK because they haven't seen ROTK. Or at least if they haven't since it came out and don't remember how incredible it was.

Don't be fooled by my Avatar avatar. I despise that movie.

[x1onexwo1fx]

in terms of story you can't really rank lotr in originality seeing though it was written decades earlier.

that may be true, but the dark knight is based off of comics, and avatar's story was ridden with cliche. it's really hard to come up with anything completely original these days. i would think, however, that when the lotr books first came out, it was considered original.

The Dark Knight because I didn't see or care much for the last LOTR movie and Avatar kept me on the edge of my seat...debating whether I should leave a movie I paid 10 dollars to see. :-p

why not? you didn't like the first two? as much as i love the trilogy, i have to say that the fellowship of the ring and the first half of the two towers were very slow and boring. but once it picked up about half-way through the two towers, it just kept moving and getting better and better. i think the return of the king is generally regarded as the best in the trilogy. i can understand not watching rotk because the first two bored you to death, but i can't imagine not liking rotk after watching the entire trilogy. i mean, you can continue preferring tdk over lotr for all i care, but i think you should give lotr another chance.

[yellowhouse]

Lord of the Rings, easily. The Dark Knight is also phenomenal though.

I fucking hated Avatar.

[yellowhouse]

Dark Knight, considering its the only one I saw of the three.

Uh, what?

Sit down and watch all 3 The Lord of the Rings movies as soon as possible.

Don't bother seeing Avatar.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

The Dark Knight, but I haven't seen Avatar.

[:-)]

Exactly how I feel.

[yellowhouse]

Exactly how I feel.

Thank God. I'm so sick of getting bashed on by people every time I say I didn't like that movie, haha.

[:-)]

Thank God. I'm so sick of getting bashed on by people every time I say I didn't like that movie, haha.

Me too!

seriously It's so annoying people are just blinded by the special effects - and even though they were gorgeous the movie was just TOTALLY unoriginal and unrealistic. There were SO many flaws and inconsistencies in the story, not to mention how incredibly predictable it was... I could go on and on about it haha.

Honestly. James Cameron is a pretentious fuck.

...I'm not bitter, I just want those three hours of my life back.

[Curtis&BemisRok]

lotr undoubtedly. I loved both the other movies but neither even compare

[Nick Hull]

Lord of the Rings...easily.

[Anton Djamoos]

ROTK with no hesitation.

[tom_q]

Definitely Return of the King, but out of the top ten on that imdb page it would have to be City of God.

[Ryzenfall]

Return of the King. The Dark Knight barely deserves to be comparable to it, and Avatar should not be in this list at all.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Dark knight just plain epic.
/threadCompared to the other two, and especially The Return of The King, I really don't see what's "epic" about The Dark Knight.

[<*)))><]

Special effects acting and it has batman.

[flask]

so many incredible moments in RoTK.

the acting in dark knight was nothing special except for heath ledger and maybe gary oldman.

[zachff]

Avatar fucking sucks.

Had to think about the other two for a second, but ended up going with LOTR. Neither Return of the King or Dark Knight are my favorite in their respective series, but I think I liked LOTR better.

[Anton Djamoos]

luyMK-rt9O0

Find me a scene from The Dark Knight better than this.

[x1onexwo1fx]

Special effects acting and it has batman.

avatar has way better special effects than tdk's half a dozen explosions. they created an entire fictional world in that movie, and mostly everything was cgi. even rotk has better special effects than tdk.

the only good performance worth mentioning in tdk is heath ledger's joker. everyone else was fairly decent/satisfactory, but only ledger was amazing. rotk is a complete contrast, where in an ensemble cast of easily over a dozen, only two stand out as not on-par with everyone else that did wonderfully.

your response didn't even take into account the definition of the word "epic." there is nothing epic about tdk in the literary sense, while in both rotk and avatar there are huge battles and grand stands of heroism. notice i said stands. batman may be a badass hero, but there's only one hero in that movie.

oh, and while christian bale's bruce wayne is the best in the franchise, his batman can suck it.

[<*)))><]

Batman they also made a fictional world, unless you can tell me where gothem is on a map. Oh yeah and Heath ledger died so that is an auto win. Your right it wasn't epic it was legendary. And avatar had one of the shittiest story lines ever, Im sure I could of wrote that if I was complete shit faced.

[x1onexwo1fx]

The Dark Knight, but I haven't seen Avatar.

ROTK with no hesitation.

i think this is the first time i've had two staff members in one of my threads. sweet.

oh, and alex, have you seen rotk?

[x1onexwo1fx]

And avatar had one of the shittiest story lines ever, Im sure I could of wrote that if I was complete shit faced.

avatar did have a shitty storyline, but you can't say that tdk's special effects were better than avatar's. gotham may be fictional, yes, but it's based on realism, whereas avatar's world is completely fantasy. i don't see spaceships, mechas, trees that glow, and fictional creatures in tdk anywhere. they did a good job on two-face, i'll give you that, but they didn't make an entire race of people through cgi.

i'm sure the last scene in the dark knight made batman seem legendary to you, but batman only saved one city, whereas in rotk, they saved the entire human race. not only that, but lotr easily has more historical significance than batman ever will, both in books and in film.

heath ledger's death has nothing to do with this. if you want to play that game, then j.r.r. tolkien died. now what?

[<*)))><]

Im surprised that people die. So Avatar is still a shitty movie doesn't change anything. rotk was an okay movie besides the battle scene i just feel batman delivered on all fronts.

tdk was phenomenal, almost flawless, even, but story-wise, rotk had much more character development than tdk.

i guess after all is said and done, it does all come down to personal taste. i'm really into the lotr mythology, elves and orcs and all that. it's only part of why i love the trilogy so much, though. maybe you think batman is the best superhero ever, i don't mind that. i don't really care that you prefer tdk over lotr. but once you tried to justify it (you looked like an idiot), i just had to say something.

Well I'm just going by my opinion and really don't care about making an argument back just I got bored watching rotk, couldn't stand the story line of avatar.

Heath Ledger died so that's your best argument? His death had nothing to do with the movie other than more people watching his performance than would have.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

i think this is the first time i've had two staff members in one of my threads. sweet.

oh, and alex, have you seen rotk?
I always do polls from the front page because I have no life.

Yeah. I love Peter Jackson's films, but I couldn't really get into this trilogy. I mean they were good films, but for whatever reason they didn't connect with me.

[<*)))><]

Heath Ledger died so that's your best argument? His death had nothing to do with the movie other than more people watching his performance than would have.
Well that and the other two movies were very boring and I didn't care for them in the slightest, so yeah they have an auto lose.

anyone else thing ROTK was the worst in the series?

[x1onexwo1fx]

don't people generally think it's the best in the series?

[phil19]

i think avatar is amazing. visually stunning

[flask]

don't people generally think it's the best in the series?
actually i think two towers is the best in the series. ROTK is just the best out of the other movies in the poll. well, maybe not. i mean, theres so much talking in between all those cool battles. i mean, fuck talking and exposition right?

[x1onexwo1fx]

i'm going to have to disagree. i think the action sequences are only half of what make lotr so good.

[JordanBuell]

don't people generally think it's the best in the series?


yeah but i personally though two towers was the best. idk just my opinion.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Tdk

that was sarcasm. :-p

[x1onexwo1fx]

then you've a very unique opinion, considering two towers was the lowest-rated of the three on imdb. ...nothing wrong with that, of course.
that was sarcasm. :-p

well played, sir.

[JordanBuell]

then you've a very unique opinion, considering two towers was the lowest-rated of the three on imdb. ...nothing wrong with that, of course.

highest rated on rotten tomatoes (only by like 2% though haha) but yeah ill have to re watch them again soon. i havent seen any of them in like 4 years haha

[mageVSlock]

First off Avatar was a terrible movie by any reasonable standard and it needs to stop being on "best movie" polls on this site.

And second I think it's pretty debatable as to what the best movie in the LOTR trilogy is.

[x1onexwo1fx]

First off Avatar was a terrible movie by any reasonable standard and it needs to stop being on "best movie" polls on this site.

And second I think it's pretty debatable as to what the best movie in the LOTR trilogy is.

why do you have to go taking this out on the polls? all i did was take from imdb's list of highest-rated movies of the past decade. i agree that avatar isn't a good movie, but it's not the polls you should be upset about. it's not my fault it's rated so highly on imdb and regarded so highly of by the general public, and it's definitely not my fault people are actually voting for it on here.

as for debating what the best movie in the lotr trilogy is, i think it's a pretty pointless debate. as i mentioned before, i only took the one that was rated the highest on imdb. you can disagree with its rating all you want. it still all comes down to personal taste. i mean, as far as cinematography, special effects, music, and acting go, they're all pretty consistent throughout the series. the only general differences between the movies are the action to exposition ratio, i think, and deciding which one's the best based on those standards goes by personal taste. the important thing is you actually bothered to watch three of the best films of the decade. if everyone who voted for tdk saw all of lotr, i think the results of this poll would've been quite different. i'm sure there are people who voted tdk who have watched all of lotr, but i would think the majority of them haven't.

[pleasedontpanic]

LOTR trilogy are the greatest films ever.

[pleasedontpanic]

yeah but i personally though two towers was the best. idk just my opinion.
I've got to give it to The Fellowship of the Ring. Not as action packed as all the others, but one of the most fantastic pieces of cinema I've ever seen.

[FormerClarity]

If LOTR does not win, I fear for us!

[Colinreturn]

not even close. TDK.

[roughroads]

There's only one Return and it's not Of The King, it's Of The Jedi

Regardless I haven't seen Avatar so I'm Going With The Dark Knight.

I hope you didn't take offense at my post, it was more an expression of frustration to the general public for giving Avatar way more acclaim than it deserves. But you wrote this on your first post, "the ultimate showdown of (three of) the past decade's best movies." If you were doing a poll on favorite movies between three of the most successful movies of this decade I would have had no objections to the inclusion of Avatar.

[Spewk]

Dark Knight.

[cason eat world]

Avatar sucks.

[re7ard1337]

fellowship of the ring was better.

[liveloud4life]

I said Dark Knight. I would've said Return of the King about the book, but it was still close.

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

ROTK by far. Avatar was great, and TDK was good but very over-rated in my opinion.

[Bloodsucker II]

ROTK.

I think Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite from the LOTR series though.

[Ryzenfall]

There's only one Return and it's not Of The King, it's Of The Jedi

Regardless I haven't seen Avatar so I'm Going With The Dark Knight.

It's really hard for me to understand how people can make a good strong argument to why the Star Wars trilogy is even comparable to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, let alone better in terms of art standards.

Some people like it more because they grew up with the movies, etc. but do people honestly think that George Lucas' storytelling is superior to J.R.R. Tolkien's?

Do you honestly think 9 hours of walking is better then 6 hours of awesome?

I can't fuckin' believe TDK is winning. RoTK is one of the most epic movies of all time.

9 hours of walking. Way to form your own opinion.

[cuzimlefthanded]

The Dark Knight, but I haven't seen Avatar.

It's basically a re-vamped version of Disney's Pochahontas, with less characterization.

[cuzimlefthanded]

ROTK.

I think Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite from the LOTR series though.

Yeah. Fellowship was just all-around amazing. The Two Towers was just epic battles, and ROTK was a slightly inferior version of Fellowhsip.

[roughroads]

Not an opinion, there are 3 movies of evidence.

[x1onexwo1fx]

i highly question your criteria for liking movies. i think story and acting are the most important when it comes to movies, and avatar doesn't have a good story or good acting. first and foremost, a film needs a good story, or else it will come crashing down, no matter how good everything else is.

so you say you never really liked lotr, that's fine with me, but to prefer avatar over tdk even when you think avatar's storyline was ehhh? have you not seen tdk? or did you not understand the story or something?

[tD77]

Return of the King

[radxbandit]

Dark Knight, considering its the only one I saw of the three.

one great big WTF.

sit down and watch all three LOTRs. your eyes will thank you.

[radxbandit]

Yeah. Fellowship was just all-around amazing. The Two Towers was just epic battles, and ROTK was a slightly inferior version of Fellowhsip.

What the hell are you talking about?

[cuzimlefthanded]

What the hell are you talking about?

Elaborating upon why I think Fellowship is the best one out of the trilogy.

[hitormiss92]

Storyline was ehhh... so it was better than the other two?

For me, the movies are about being able to sit there for however long and be thoroughly entertained. Avatar did that the most for me out of these three movies. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[radxbandit]

Elaborating upon why I think Fellowship is the best one out of the trilogy.

Yeah, but the two towers was not just epic battles, and the return of the king WAS epic battles, far greater than the fellowship. i don't believe you've seen the movies...

[whiterussian]

for some reason ROTK's battle sequences let me down. I have to read the book again, sigh. The oliphants, the battle trolls, the seemingly countless Nazgul. How were they getting their asses kicked before the ghost army showed up?
And why are Sauron's orcs so lamer than Saruman's?

I like the Two Towers better.

The Dark Knight was extremely good for an action/hero movie, and it wasn't a direct book adaptation.


edit: on a side note, what I really want is The Hobbit. I have the animated version made in the '70s and I love it.

Thorin the dwarf to Bilbo Baggins:
"you're a burglar, go burgle something!". It's so lame but it cracks me up.

[randnanand]

Its close, but i gotta go with The Dark Knight

[cuzimlefthanded]

Yeah, but the two towers was not just epic battles, and the return of the king WAS epic battles, far greater than the fellowship. i don't believe you've seen the movies...

I like Fellowship for the fact that all the main characters are situated together, as opposed to being split up as they are in the TT and ROTK. And yeah looking back, ROTK was the one with the EPIC battles; I misspoke. However, I still like Fellowship better for the fact that there was more characterization of all the cast, while in ROTK, Legolas and Gimli were essentially reduced to cameo roles (by that I mean they barely had any dialogue and were only given short scenes of awesome combat).

Edit: Although IMO, I think that the Battle of Helms Deep was done way better than The..........Battle of Gondor(?) was. That's a part of why I like TT better. Not that it has anything to do with what we're discussing.

[oncedarkness]

Impossible to top ROTK

[tentativetitle]

LOTR if you count the entire trilogy

[Smeee]

ROTK by miles.

[alight/electric]

Three best movies of the decade? I would really beg to differ.

Out of those three though, i would definitely have to pick Lord of the Rings.

[x1onexwo1fx]

three of the best movies of the decade. also, it's from imdb's list of highest rated movies of the decade. it's not exactly my opinion, either.

[domotime2]

a sixteen year old could write the dark knight

[x1onexwo1fx]

maybe if that sixteen year old was taking AP Lit and graduating high school two years early. even then, i don't think any sixteen year old could have the subtlety of tdk in their writing.

Right....:thumbdwn:

[xapplexpiex]

For the life of me, I just can't get into LOTR. I've seen Avatar twice. It was great, but I'm getting sick of the hype. Therefore, The Dark Knight gets my vote.

[xapplexpiex]

LOTR. Without any question. One of the most epic films I have ever seen.

@anyone who votes for Avatar: you have bad taste in movies
I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just curious: why is your avatar of the movie avatar?

[x1onexwo1fx]

I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just curious: why is your avatar of the movie avatar?

The Lord Of The Rings because it's the only one I saw.

[TheFury]

Impossible to top ROTK
I hope The Hobbit does. Can't wait for it. As for now, ROTK takes it.

[batmannj]

I voted for TDK, but LotR is just as good or better imo

[WaterViolence]

List of overrated movies: nice.
