What's to worry about? As a fan of epic quasi-historical adventure pics, I hope they're both great.
Wolfgang Petersen is an excellent director, so I have high hopes for Troy. On the other hand, King Arthur is directed by Antoine Fuqua, a former music-video director who now makes music-video action pictures (The Replacement Killers, Tears of the Sun), and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, who has made a load of money, but not, frankly, by making artistically ambitious movies. So my expectations for KA are, shall we say, a bit lower.
Neither film will stir the kind of mania that LotR has. I think both projects owe more to the success of Gladiator than to the success of LotR.
