FOTR against TTT -- Analysis

[Himaran]

I was bored one day, so I decided to try to figure out which movie (FOTR or TTT) was best. Here it is! Let me know what you think.<P><BR>Action:<P>While the Two Towers obviously has <I>MORE</I> of it, the Fellowship of the Ring had its own, decent amount; in its own way. Obviously, the plots of the movies are fairly different, and thus the action was put in two different proportions for each movie. Thus, I would say that the movies "Tie" on action.<P>Romance:<P>Here, FOTR is better. This is strictly my personal opinion, but I believe that in FOTR just the right amount was said to set up the stage for further movies. In TTT, I did not think that many of the scenes (Aragorn's "DREAM") were handled that well, or should even have been in there. <P>Humor:<P>Definently FOTR. I mean, just look at Gimli's lines in FOTR (funny, but having purpose and not just being stupid), compared to the idiot he is made out to be in TTT (falling off of rocks and tumbling down hills, etc.) Also, Legolas's vain attempt to be funny when Aragorn comes back to Helms Deeps (Your late - You look terrible), was... well, not funny.<P>Soundtrack:<P>Here, they tie; as much of TTT's music was derived from FOTR. The soundtrack of both movies was GREAT!!!! <P>Overall Plot:<P>FOTR was better, again. It had just the right amount of "phrases at the beginning that would be said again at the end", and the correct amount of "deeply moving scenes." I liked how it moved from place to place, while spending the right amount of time there before moving away. It mixed far away shots with close-ups to give us more of an idea of the scale of things.<P>In TTT, the plot was still good. However, it was just more of a fighting movie and didn't have the same depth; at least not on he part of Aragorn and Co.<P>Sooooo, what do YOU think? Did I miss anything I should have covered?<P>Himaran
