Isn't Eragon a MASSIVE rip off of Lord of the Rings?


I read this quote somewhere (paraphrasing): I watched it until the Nazgul attacked the Owen's farm and Obi-wan had to save Frodo"

I've seen the Mad Max trilogy, yet out of the list offered here I've seen:

None of the LotR films.
None of the Harry Potter films.
Only episodes 4, 5, and 6 of the Star Wars series.
None of the Pirates of the Carribean films.
None of the Rambo films.
None of the Die Hard films.
Only the first Jurrassic Park.
None of the Bourne films.

Not saying that the Mad Max trilogy was good, just that it would seem to fit this list (action/fantasy/adventure) perfectly.

Movie tickets cost too much. I'm guessing that for someone to have seen all of these movies, some must have been on video or subscription TV.


Dude what age are you? In addition to all the Star Wars fans films 4,5,6 all SUCK and having watched them first I doubt 1,2,3 are good. I've seen all of them and framkly star wars was an accident. If LOTR was released like Peter Jacksons in those times it would have crushed stars wars. You can't beat a good British novel. Go BRITONS.

Except for the original 3 StarWars movies, the rest are hardly great movies, there are way better choices then those ones.

oh don't get me wrong, you didn't offend me, I loved the Star Wars 4,5,6, I hated 1,2,3.
I just didn't like the choices, because they were to commercial for my taste, there hasn't
been a good choice of movies for a while, to much CGI which I can't stand, or re hashed
story's.

There are some better quality movies out there.

2001
Alien / Aliens
A Clockwork Orange
Roller Ball (the original one)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The 5th Element
and original 3 Star Wars
Alot of the stuff being made these days is total garbage, The days of a good Hollywood film are sadly gone.

Yeah, I can't say I'm a huuuuuge fan of any of the above. Don't get me wrong, some of them are fantastic film series, but none of them come close to 'best film of all time' for me.

No Godfather trilogy? I mean #3 is mediocre, but the first two make up for it in spades.

I picked LOTR, because by voting for Star Wars, it would include the prequels. I hate the prequels. And it would also include the "Special Edition" and onward continuous tweaks to the original three movies. Can Lucas stop now? please? He ticked off fans by having Greedo shoot first, but he keeps going.

I bought the newer, individual DVDs of the first three because they come with the original theatrical cut.

You mean, I have to choose? Ok then, in order:

LOTR (which I voted for), Star Wars (alright, the first three episodes blew, but the latter three--AWESOME), Indy, Pirates, Bourne, and Harry Potter.

For the rest, I've either never seen 'em or haven't seen enough of 'em.

Goodness! No Chaplin, none of the early Marx Brothers, not Dr. Strangelove, nor 2001? And the British TV film of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I mean, adolescent swordplay with a lightbeam may be vaguely amusing but if you have a death ray, why bother? I'm sure Detroit loves all those squnched cars and blowups since they can't sell the damned things nowadays for transportation but once you've seen a few smashups it gets pretty boring. How about "The Sting"? Or, for special effects, "Poltergeist" or the Carpenter version of "The Thing" or the Kaufman version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"?
