I didn't say LOTR was bad. I said it wasn't as good as the fan boys said it was. POTC was based on a park ride, so the fact that is was decent heck sometimes good movie series is a miracle. Which makes LOTR look that much more over rated do to the fact LOTR was based on a master piece of literature, yet wasn't any better put together than pirates.
Deffiantly wasn't Oscar worthy IMO.
