The One Ring :: View topic - An Unexpected Journey vs The Fellowship of the Ring

The first third of Tolkien's Hobbit novel has very similar story beats to The Fellowship of the Ring, and with Peter Jackson's additions, the films are even more alike.

So, which film does better in each of these sequences?

Smaug Destroys Erebor Prologue VS Last Alliance Prologue
Bilbo writes "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" VS Bilbo writes "Concerning hobbits"
Gandalf arrives and meets Bilbo VS Gandalf arrives and meets Frodo
An Unexpected Party VS Bilbo's birthday party
Gandalf convinces Bilbo to go on the Erebor quest VS Gandalf convinces Frodo to leave with the One Ring
Bilbo joins up with Thorin & Company VS Merry & Pippin joins up with Frodo & Sam
Encounter with warg scouts VS Encounter with black riders at Buckleberry Ferry
Thorin & Company meet Radagast VS The hobbits meet Strider
Thorin fights Azog flashback VS Isildur fights Sauron flashback
Radagast & Necromancer at Dol Guldur VS Gandalf & Saruman at Orthanc
Encounter with the Trolls VS Encounter with the Ringwraiths at Weathertop
Gandalf presents Bilbo with Sting VS Strider gives hobbits Morgul blades
Bunny sled chase VS Flight to the Ford
Thorin & Company arrive at Rivendell VS Frodo wakes up in Rivendell
Elrond says "some may not deem it wise" to retake Erebor VS Elrond says "The Ring cannot stay here, Gandalf"
The White Council VS The Council of Elrond
Stone Giant fight VS The Caradhras pass
The chute at the entrance to Goblin Town VS The watcher at the gates of Moria
Encounter with the Goblin King VS encounter with the Cave Troll
The collapsing scaffolding in Goblin Town VS the collapsing bridges in Moria
Riddles in the Dark VS The Bridge of Khazad-dum
Thorin fights Azog VS Boromir fights Lurtz
Thorin & Company look on to Erebor from the Carrock VS Frodo & Sam look on to Mordor from Emyn Muil

On the basis of these individual sequence face-offs, determine:

An Unexpected Journey VS Fellowship of the Ring

I spotted this fun comparison over at The One Ring.com: Quote: The first third of Tolkien's Hobbit novel has very similar story beats to The Fellowship of the Ring, and with Peter Jackson's additions, the films are even more alike. So, which film does better in each of these sequences? Smaug Destroys Erebor Prologue VS Last Alliance Prologue Bilbo writes "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" VS Bilbo writes "Concerning hobbits" Gandalf arrives and meets Bilbo VS Gandalf arrives and meets Frodo An Unexpected Party VS Bilbo's birthday party Gandalf convinces Bilbo to go on the Erebor quest VS Gandalf convinces Frodo to leave with the One Ring Bilbo joins up with Thorin & Company VS Merry & Pippin joins up with Frodo & Sam Encounter with warg scouts VS Encounter with black riders at Buckleberry Ferry Thorin & Company meet Radagast VS The hobbits meet Strider Thorin fights Azog flashback VS Isildur fights Sauron flashback Radagast & Necromancer at Dol Guldur VS Gandalf & Saruman at Orthanc Encounter with the Trolls VS Encounter with the Ringwraiths at Weathertop Gandalf presents Bilbo with Sting VS Strider gives hobbits Morgul blades Bunny sled chase VS Flight to the Ford Thorin & Company arrive at Rivendell VS Frodo wakes up in Rivendell Elrond says "some may not deem it wise" to retake Erebor VS Elrond says "The Ring cannot stay here, Gandalf" The White Council VS The Council of Elrond Stone Giant fight VS The Caradhras pass The chute at the entrance to Goblin Town VS The watcher at the gates of Moria Encounter with the Goblin King VS encounter with the Cave Troll The collapsing scaffolding in Goblin Town VS the collapsing bridges in Moria Riddles in the Dark VS The Bridge of Khazad-dum Thorin fights Azog VS Boromir fights Lurtz Thorin & Company look on to Erebor from the Carrock VS Frodo & Sam look on to Mordor from Emyn Muil On the basis of these individual sequence face-offs, determine: An Unexpected Journey VS Fellowship of the Ring Just bold which sequence you preferred, then tally the results. Or, explain which film you preferred overall. Smaug Destroys Erebor Prologue VS Last Alliance Prologue Bilbo writes "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" VS Bilbo writes "Concerning hobbits" Gandalf arrives and meets Bilbo VS Gandalf arrives and meets Frodo An Unexpected Party VS Bilbo's birthday party Gandalf convinces Bilbo to go on the Erebor quest VS Gandalf convinces Frodo to leave with the One Ring Bilbo joins up with Thorin & Company VS Merry & Pippin joins up with Frodo & Sam Encounter with warg scouts VS Encounter with black riders at Buckleberry Ferry Thorin & Company meet Radagast VS The hobbits meet Strider Thorin fights Azog flashback VS Isildur fights Sauron flashback Radagast & Necromancer at Dol Guldur VS Gandalf & Saruman at Orthanc Encounter with the Trolls VS Encounter with the Ringwraiths at Weathertop Gandalf presents Bilbo with Sting VS Strider gives hobbits Morgul blades Bunny sled chase VS Flight to the Ford Thorin & Company arrive at Rivendell VS Frodo wakes up in Rivendell Elrond says "some may not deem it wise" to retake Erebor VS Elrond says "The Ring cannot stay here, Gandalf" The White Council VS The Council of Elrond Stone Giant fight VS The Caradhras pass The chute at the entrance to Goblin Town VS The watcher at the gates of Moria Encounter with the Goblin King VS encounter with the Cave Troll The collapsing scaffolding in Goblin Town VS the collapsing bridges in Moria Riddles in the Dark VS The Bridge of Khazad-dum Thorin fights Azog VS Boromir fights Lurtz Thorin & Company look on to Erebor from the Carrock VS Frodo & Sam look on to Mordor from Emyn Muil On the basis of these individual sequence face-offs, determine: An Unexpected Journey VS Fellowship of the Ring Tally: AUJ 5, FotR 18. AUJ got obliterated! But I like it, I really do. Hardest choice was Riddles in the Dark vs Bridge of Khazad-dum. Have fun

I really, really like those four scenes, and couldn't decide between them. I'm not sure if I actually like TH more, but as you can see, they are very, very close. Edit mixed up flight to the ford and them running to buckleberry ferry. So now FoTR is better....

I gave full marks for ties.
