The Empire 200 Poll Results
I hate the public. I have only checked out the first page of these poll results and am extremely irritated. In what world is LOTR the best film franchise ever? Let's look at the evidence, briefly:
The first film is good. The second is tedious as anything aside from Gollum and the thirds one equally so until the elephants turn up. Orlando Bloom is in it. I haven't read the books, but I saw all the films and just got bored, yet I was impressed with the first. Peter Jackson has far exceeded these films with King Kong. And for it to beat Star Wars, or Indy, or BTTF? Just insanity. I do not think that in 20-30 years these films will have the same effect.
Its probably just me, granted, but these are my thoughts. I suspect a lot of people voted for it as they thought they should, or because of the practicality of finishing 3 lengthy movies to such a standard in such a way, but honestly, are they more enjoyable than Indy? More romantic than Star Wars? More inventive than BTTF? Better action than The Matrix? No.
