Why would anyone compare a film from the 70's with one that came in the late 90's? movie used to stay in cinemas longer and besides DVD/VHS didn't exist. The logic behind it is so flawed.

Plenty of franchises from the late 70s aren't worth anywhere near as much as the HP franchise.

It demonstrates very impressive longevity.

Star Wars has multi generational appeal. HP will always lose. The acting in the first 3 HP films are terrible as well now looking back.

As if the acting in Star Wars has ever been something to write home about

Why is Speak Now one of the greatest albums of the past fifteen years?

Well, SW has an acting nomination to their name, so it does have some recognition

Literally Meowster JUST went over this... Alec Guinness was nominated for an Oscar for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi (something that didn't happen for any of the HP actors in that series).

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is the best movie of all time. Only one HP movie is good. (3)

that one girl from HP wishes she had this impact

Harrison Fords/ Mark's acting was better than Dan & Ruperts thats for sure.

Make no mistake: the new film delivers. It is in no way disappointing, except in its conformity.

What [Abrams has] done is to remake Star Wars: A New Hope; tweaking it for the passage of time; improving on the acting, the effects, and the dialogue; and tossing in some bits from its sequels.

It gives us what we want. And what we want is more of the same.

Perfectly safe and plenty full of the Force... but leans on geek nostalgia to reboot a beloved property by hitting predictably familiar story beats.

all of these 'rave' reviews actually dragging the movie, Disney is too much

Harry Potter got a Bafta acting nomination.

Should we post # of tickets sold for SW vs HP?

I have not watched Star Wars yet (the new one obviously). Is it genuinely good? Or is it all hype like The Martian?

An awards ceremony that isn't rigged or racist

Snooki:



This argument is settled. SW won.

Fan reviews on IMDB. This is what we've come to.

[Vespertine]

Obviously the SW movies are bigger. You'd be stupid to deny that. (edit: also better. The HP movies have mostly terrible scripts that butcher the books)

But I think the HP franchise as whole is potentially bigger. Don't forget that the movies are just the icing on the cake after the massively, massively successful novels. Then you have theme parks etc too.

Though the HP franchise is much younger. We'll have to see how it does years down the line.

Ryan/Meowster, do either of you know the actor that played or the name of the Scottish guy that was hunting down Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon?
