It's my favorite trilogy of all time, without a doubt.

Ok, let me think... :think:

TFOTR - The best in the trilogy IMO
TTT - :facepalm: One of most boring movies I've EVER watched in my life (I finally said it)
TROTK - It supposed to be the most epic of the three but fail because has like one hundred endings. :roll:

So, NO. Not every movie is epic and hight quality (IMO). I think TDK trilogy is far more interesting and F*** epic!

ok, you don't even have to use LOTR. Star Wars is another example though. Star Wars has 2 movies comparable to Dark Knight. The Dark Knight trilogy has 2 movies (DKR & BB) that don't quite reach the heights of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. ROTJ is comparable to BB in terms of quality. So I got Star Wars as a better trilogy. Its got more classics.

IMO, LOTR has 3 movies which rival any SW movies. However, if you want to be strict, it has 2 movies (Fellowship & ROTK) that are comparable to Star Wars 2 biggies. Two Towers blows out ROTJ though.

I give the DK trilogy the edge because the LOTR trilogy was based on one story that happened to be split into three books/parts. Not to mention the three films were all made at the same time. It's no surprise the three films kept the same look and feel throughout the trilogy. Of course it works as a trilogy, it's just one story adapted from a 3-part book and one kind of movie.

The Dark Knight trilogy, on the other hand, was produced over a span of 8-9 years. Three stories written years apart. Three different kinds of movies: hero's journey, crime thriller, war film. So that makes it a much more impressive feat to maintain that consistent level of quality while tying them all together.

definitely agree. each film was different in nearly every way, but still continued the journey of the main character. not an easy thing to do in trilogies.

What he said.

And regarding BB and TDKR not being on the level of Star Wars: A New Hope, I just don't agree.

The Dark Knight Saga is better than The Original Star Wars Trilogy or The Lord of the Rings, imo.
