I abstain, mainly because it's been at least fifteen years since I last saw ROTK. Safe to say it's objectively better than TPM, but it's complicated, since I was never the biggest LOTR fan to begin with.
In all honesty, they probably deserve a second chance by me. Fortunately, HBO Max will be helping me out in that regard.

Do you really think it's possible that after rewatching you would prefer Phantom Menace over ROTK? |

Godzilla prevents the sweep, but Lord of the Rings gets the win. Next battle up shortly.

I think the only sweep I didn't prevent so far is Back to the Future over Spectre, and that's because I refuse to vote against a Back to the Future movie.

Dr. No didn't give us this:
Easy win for Terminator: Salvation.

I haven't seen Terminator Salvation so I probably shouldn't vote, but...

Also, I've had this internal debate as to whether I should vote if I haven't seen both movies. At first I went by that rule but then thought that if I haven't seen a movie like Terminator Salvation it's because I know it's not good either by reputation or the fact that nobody ever suggested that I should see it. In the decade since it's been out nothing has compelled me to ever see it. Just like I know if Casino Royale is matched up against Terminator Genysis I know that Casino Royale is a better pick. Maybe it's immoral of me to think like that but this is the CS satellite forum where rules don't apply.

Dr. No
And anyone that wants to vote against Terminator: Salvation that hasn't seen it, please do. It sucks.
