Includes whole series.

Without a doubt. And a LOTR marathon is going to get longer with the Hobbit film coming out and apparently a film to shove in between the hobbit and fellowship of the ring. LOTR marathon will take like a week by the end of it all.

Yes. I loved the first Matrix, but the others simply didn't live up. However, all of the Lord of the Rings films are excellent.

This is really more argument material than a debatable premise; that having been said, I am a major fan of J.R.R. Tolkien's work, and Peter Jackson did a wonderful job directing the movies. The cast was incredible. That isn't to say that the Matrix movies weren't just as good. It really comes down purely to a matter of opinion on this one. Nothing really to debate.

I totally agree only because of the last Matrix movie. That was quite a downer. After the first one being incredible and the second being pretty good, the third was just awful!

If you're judging their average quality as a whole, this is probably true. I think the first Matrix film was better than any of the Lord of the Rings films but the rest just weren't as good. The second Matrix film, in particular, was appalling and pretentious, although the third was a bit better. The Lord of the Rings films were fairly consistently good. I think the second one was probably the overall best, not the third which won all the Oscars.

If I had to do without one or the other set of films, though, I'd probably rather do without the Lord of the Rings films, simply because The Matrix 1 is a masterpiece and its greatness more than compensates for the weakness of all the others.

If I had to watch all three I would choose LOTR, but Matrix 1 was phenomenal and the next two were complete garbage.

Would you rather see a bunch of people shooting eachother with guns in slow motion in enhanced settings or a gay wizard talking to a midget, and a half naked thing jumping around, along with orlando bloom.

Oh no, I do not agree with this at all.
No one can beat the matrix. It is lie, it is philosophy. All roads lead to Rome: Philosophy, so no, I categorically disagree.

No, I am a dyed-in-the-wool MATRIX fan.

It is based upon Plato's Allegory Of The Cave.
So much philosophy: Matrix, one of best movies ever.

Sorry newby but the matrix is oooo much more original.....and lord of the rings was way too long and disjointed from the books in some areas.

I'd really have to say no, neither of them are particularly good. It's a lot of eye-candy and very little substance. The first Matrix was excellent, at least in concept. It failed a bit in execution. The second and third movies... Weren't that great. All of the LOTR films were mindless eye candy and far, far too long for the amount of plot. They could have cut an hour out of each of them and not lost anything.
