I'm sure we've all seen both of these. Two big budget box office blockbusters enter the arena, only one can advance to the next round.

Voting will close on 15th May.

______________________________________

For me, this is a no-brainer. Return of the King is the best movie from the best trilogy ever made, ever. The Phantom Menace may have been in with a small chance but for one character rendering the film unwatchable. I can see only one possible outcome.

Note: For a limited time only votes can be added to the 1st Tie: Titanic v Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone

Knockout in the first four seconds of round one.

bundy · 05-13-2004, 04:30 AM

this is going to be a walkover.

LOTR vs Phantom Menace is like Tyson getting in the ring with Mundine.

I predict the final standing of Star Wars to Return of the King. With Star Wars as the final victor.

Don't ask me the spreads.

I wouldn't think you would have to if you've seen The Pantom Menace... a stinker is a stinker, regardless of how much money it made.

absorbentishe · 05-13-2004, 07:41 AM

For me this was a tough vote. I thought both were great, but I thought SW was a little better. I loved ROTK don't get me wrong.

PredeconInferno · 05-13-2004, 11:58 AM

How is this a competition?

Return of the King was incredible.

Phantom Menace was okay at best.

Edit: I'm even a giant Star Wars fan

cherriesue · 05-13-2004, 12:06 PM

How can anyone vote for Phantom Menace? I wanted to strangle Anakin...and the story was weak...no love went into making that film

mml · 05-13-2004, 12:53 PM

ROTK, this is a no brainer.

If you disagree, I give you three simple words: Jar Jar Binks

Yeah, that may be, but I happen to have liked SW:TPM.
