I would say the LOTR books are better then the Matrix, but as movies I think the Matrix comes out on top.

Of course, if I hadn't read the books after seeing the Fellowship of the Ring my opinion might be different because I wouldn't know how much was changed/left out. My opinion of the first movie went down quite a bit after I read the book. I still like it, but the characters and the story in the movie just aren't as...awe-inspriring I guess. For instance Gimli in the books is a very noble character, while in the movies it seems he's mainly a souce of "comic relief".

Can't really compare the two both appeal to different audiences, on a personal note i myself prefer the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The movie has a story, it has 1 of the most amazing stories in recent years. The problem is that keanu and carrie have no chemistry.

i'm a fan of both films... i have the one ring, which i wear everydy (and it's a great icebreakr for interesting conversations) and i have the "code rain" all over my bedroom door... i would say the matrix if i feel like thinking my brains to a pulp just to understand the subliminal messages (i'm getting there, by the way)... if i wanna see something poetic with big a$$ fight scenes, liv tyler-- who looks in disturbingly hot elven ears, i pick lotr... i think i would say i'm more enthusiastic with the matrix because of its religious ties... buut after seeing revolutions, i'm definitely looking forward to return of the king...

I don't care much for LOTR and I love Matrix so I would have to say Matrix all the way.

The first Matrix had a story, sure, but Reloaded and Revolutions were just 2.5 hours of mindless action and occasional reminders that there was once a plot to these things

Star Wars 4, 5, 6 might be good enough, but 1+2 can't even hold a candle to LotR

Very tough decision. I'm more into scifi, so I went with the Matrix, but LotR had a better storyline. Matrix, however, goes much deeper than LotR. Like Lord Soth said, they're two differnet genre's and it depends which one you like more.
