It's a dumb question in most contexts. The kind of person who says that watches them together anyway. If it was a personality quiz, you got your answer unless you have really strong feelings about the movies individually.

There are three movies, yes. And the Bakshi one.

Just say Fellowship has the best pacing and stop trying to look smart on an anonymous imageboard.

Low IQ: I like the one with the big green ghost army.

Mid IQ: Nooo, you can't ask 'which one'! It was shot simultaneously as a single production! Asking which one is a midwit question!

High IQ: The Fellowship of the Ring is the only great one because it actually feels like a fairy tale adventure before it devolved into CGI battle bloat.

the older you get the more you cherish the fellowship.

fellowship is the second best because the shire part is a bit slow. there, I said it

No it isn't.
>What's your favorite act of this three act movie?
>What's your favorite leg of this stool?
Unc it needs all 3 of them. You could argue that some of the highlights or lowlights, well done aspects or mistakes are concentrated more in part 1 or part 2 or part 3, but it's undeniably one whole thing. It was only released in three releases for financial reasons, same as the book, which opens on the first page to say in Tolkien's own words "This is one book, released in three parts, each having two "books" in each part because my publishers are cucks"

If I'm giving my top 5 favorite films, the Lord of the Rings is in that top 5, and I will personally skullfuck anyone who insists that means I should only have 2 open slots left instead of 4.
>>
>>220975911
i dare ask what's first then and why

Genuinely why rank acts of a three act story?

two tower is the best because the exorcism of king theoden is great and the siege battle isn't wasted by stupid magical green ghosts

Because I take offense at the false premise that 3 legs of a stool should or even could be ranked.

They’re movies you Reddit psued.

>>220975932
>Unc it needs all 3 of them
Yeah but which one was your favorite?
Also you can't compare stool legs to acts in a movie. Stool legs are identical and all serve the same purpose. Acts in a movie are all different and cannot be interchanged.
In short, you're a retard. I'll accept your concession now.
>>
Two towers is my favourite even though it's probably the weakest one
>>
>>220975423
These cats are a couple of whimsical chunguses, and I think it's great. Why aren't more people talking about this
>>
>>220976136
eh fair enough. my problem is i can't even separate the extended editions from the theatrical cuts anymore. my last rewatch i found the pacing jarring following fellowship, but i'm not even sure if that's because of random cut scenes or what
but as long as someone doesn't say rotk is the best one, i can get on board with that
>>
>>220975911
worst take on this board, and that's hard to pull off
>>
>>220976264
the rohan scenes in two towers mog the gondor scenes in return of the king and the helms deep siege btfos the minas tirith siege so badly it's frankly embarrassing
>>
>>220975423
Fellowship is the only good one though, so you're right, the question is meaningless.

>>220975423
it is a bit tiresome, because the answer is so obvious

The shire part is the best part. In like 30 minutes it introduces a dozen characters, explains the backstory, explains the ring and sets up the whole adventure. It's anything but slow. It's expertly paced.
>>
>>220975423
>One does not simply walk into Meowdor …

the average lord of the rings fan looks like this
>>
>>220975476
This. Two towers has the best pacing and narrative structure of the Three. It is the one you could watch by itself and not need to watch any other. Fellowshipfags can get fucked and Return-of-the-Ending-cels can seethe.
>>
The first one was ok, the others were boring and predictable.
>>
Fellowship is far and away the best and functions as a stand alone story.
>>
>>220975600
No, the only appropriate answers are
A: the one with the battle of helms deep
Or
B: the one with the ride of rohirrim
Also acceptable
C: the one with the Balrog
>>
>>220975476
based, the ents going to war is top tier

Why are they competing?
>>
>>220978138
That shit was fucking amazing.
>>
>>220977802
I wish. Christopher Lloyd is based.
>>
>>220975423
Fellowship is much better than the other two so it's a legit question, return in particular has gigantic flaws
I definitely consider fellowship one of my favourite movies, two towers maybe, return of the king absolutely not

If you ever tried to skullfuck me, I would skullfuck you first and harder. I agree by the way. The Hornblower tv Films are my favourite, and Lord of the Rings films (extended) my second favourite. Therefore I get to have 11 films, totalling about 27 hours in my first two slots. If you disagree, I’ll SKULLFUCK you. Remember our deal. I’LL SKULLFUCK YOU TO DEATh!

No it isn't. LOTR isn't fucking Star Wars. They were filmed consecutively and by the same team. Having a preference is fine but saying "Return of the King SUCKED! Fellowship is the best!" Is just trying to apply Star Wars tier faggotry to the better franchise.
>>
>>220979317
Except fellowship is the best. Towers is the one that sucks though.
>>
>>220979317
just pretend the question is "Do you prefer the first act, second act, or final act of this singular story?"
there fixed

Fellowship (theatrical) is the only one I own and the only one I regularly rewatch.

You are autistic for being bothered by this. Nice picture though, been a while since I've seen it.
