What's that?

I have never the Star Wars. I have never seen Star Trek. I have never seen The Lord of the Rings. I have seen Harry Potter... once... in Guatemala.... and I fell asleep. To all you Harry Potter fans, I am so very sorry if I insulted you by falling asleep during the premiere of the last movie. We had been working long hours building houses, so I was exhausted, and I had no idea what was going on anyway because I hadn't seen any of the movie before it. Clearly, I am not prepared to answer this prompt. I can, however, try to tell you why I am so unprepared. I get asked frequently why I have never seen any of these popular series. It isn't that I don't like to watch movie, I like them a lot. I just haven't seen these. I think, honestly, the reason I never watched any of them is because my brother loved them. I love my brother, but there is just something in every sibling that makes them want to be as little like their brother or sister as possible. In the persuit of this goal, I never watched any of those movies, as to not be like him.

You're a wizard, Harry

Well this is going to be difficult for me, since I've only seen one of the four. But I'll take a swing at it.
Star Wars vs. Star Trek. Hmm. I guess you could say I've seen Star Trek because I've seen the newest movie, but I dunno if that counts. But I'm gonna have to go with Star Wars, even though I'm probably one of the only people that hasn't seen any of them. It's just more classic than Star Trek. Lots more people haven't seen Star Trek. But it's not a landslide; they're pretty similar (as far as I know).
Now for Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings...Well, as an avid Harry Potter fan, I'm gonna have to go with Harry. Honestly, every time I've tried to watch LOTR (4 times or so), I've fallen asleep halfway through the first movie every time. I've never made it past where they're at the gate thingy by the lake. Maybe I'll try again after some Red Bulls or Five Hour Energies. But Harry Potter is classic, if I may say so. I still remember seeing the second movie in theaters. From gasping in that theater when I saw the basilisk to crying in the theater when Dobby died and feeling the relief in the grown up scenes, Harry Potter has never ceased to amaze me.

Fantastical Fights

Star Wars trumps every bit of the collective Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Ring series. First of all, it is much more elaborate and creative than any of its competitors. Star Trek and Star Wars both deal with space travel and aliens, but Star Wars has more prominent alien characters such as Jabba the Hutt, Darth Maul, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring both find concepts in unoriginal and overused themes. Witches, wizards, wands, dragons, orcs, goblins, really? Granted, LotR has "hobbits," but they are basically just short white people with harry feet. Star Wars brings the excitement of lightsabers and the "force" to the table. Not to mention countless themes throughout the movie series including family relationships, good and evil,  racing, beating impossible odds, and making certain that the girl you like isn't your sister. Honestly, how many times have you heard someone speak in a Yoda voice, do a Chewbacca call, make the Darth Vader breathing noises or uttered the famous words "May the force be with you." Compare that to how often you hear someone speaking "parseltongue," and you have your winner.

Fantastical Flights

Growing up, I saw every Lord of the Rings movie in theaters, so I DID see the movies. I didn't, however, love them enough to watch them again when I got older. I don't even remember much now, except that creepy Golem and his love for the ring. I could imitate him perfectly as a child... I also remember watching the first and second Harry Potter movies when I was very young. Those movies, I DID love. And I started reading the books in second grade. I felt like a pretty accomplished 2nd grader to be reading such thick books. Anyways, I literally grew up with Harry Potter, and I feel quite a lot towards HP and Hogwarts, and all of the Wizarding World. So, Harry Potter trumps the Lord of the Rings for me. When it comes to Star Trek v. Star Wars though, that's not quite so easy. I never watched Star Wars. The closest I've ever come to watching the movies was this summer at Victoria's family reunion. Apparently there was a Star Wars marathon that weekend. I have seen a few episodes of Star Trek though as I watched it with my parents growing up sometimes. But , after having Mr. Lentz, it's awfully hard for me to choose Star Trek over Star Wars. So, in honor of our freshman English teacher, I'll choose Star Wars.

Star Wars vs. Star Trek

In the debate between star wars in star trek, i find it hard to believe that one would think star trek is the better of the two. I do understand that there are hundreds of star trek television shows, and even a few movies, but it still doesn't stand up to the excitement of star wars. The ideas and concepts in star wars are much better, and the story is much better developed. Maybe i'm just biased because i don't watch that much star trek. In fact, I believe I saw star wars before ever sitting down and watching some star trek episodes, so at that point it felt to me like a lot of the ideas in star trek were copying those of star wars. The two certainly aren't the same though, and i find the idea of the prophecy story in star wars much more concentrated and developed, and overall better.

Fantastical Fights- Silly?

As hard as it is to believe, the only movies out of the options presented that I’ve actually seen is the Harry Potter series. Personally, I find it hard to watch something that I know could never happen. It’s not that I wouldn’t watch them if they were the only options available. It’s just that I would prefer to not watch them if I could do something else. I don’t believe that they’re stupid. They’re just not my cup of tea. I prefer older movies such as “Gone with the Wind” or “It’s A Wonderful Life” or most historical fiction movies to action-packed movies (generally). I guess you could say I’m picky with the movies I allow myself to watch, but I would have to say that we’re all entitled to our own opinions. The fantastical and the out of the ordinary are not the things that draw me to a movie or to a plot line. The variations in plot line, and the realistic events and characters are much better. With every action movie I’ve seen, I’ve been annoyed by the surface level characters. There’s nothing more to them than their motivation. Seeing a change in the character as the movie progresses is much more important than a pointless fight. I would rather be amazed by the characters than by the special effects.

Star Wars vs. Star Trek

Unlike majority of my close friends, I was never interested in Star Trek. Granted, I saw newly released live action film and enjoyed it very much, I know to little about the series as a whole to have a developed opinion about it. That being said, my father exposed my brother and I to Star Wars from an early age, and to this day we watch the series fairly regularly. While I'm certainly by no means a "Star-Wars" junkie, and watch the films solely for entertainment value, I still consider myself a fan. I recall numerous occasions lying around the living room, mindlessly staring at brilliantly colored lightsabers, flashing lazer beams, and adorable space creatures. All of these things sparked my current interest in science fiction, and more importantly, provided me with a strong basis to imagine. Without movies such as Star Wars and Jurassic Park, I would lack any creativity or artistic passion whatsoever, and for that, I am grateful.
