Ben Shapiro: The GREATEST Movie Franchise of ALL TIME

Folks, there is an age-old question that must be answered: What is the GREATEST movie franchise of ALL time? Join me as I break it down by the following categories: entertainment value, story, characters and acting, world-building, technical aspects, and x factor. Hopefully, by the end of this journey, we will find what might be the best film franchise to have ever been created.

Lord of the Rings was a massive risk. 3 movies greenlit at once to a small time horror director in a fantasy genre that wasn't at all popular at the time and Lord of the Rings was generally considered an unfilmable book.

I love how Ben is just casually rating movies and pretending to all of us he didn’t just drop the biggest meme banger of the decade yesterday…

[LocoLeche]

LOTR came out in this sweet spot in time where CGI was a good enhancement to scenes, but they couldn’t fully rely on it for entire sets so you get these epic, real world sets that are just incredible to behold.

There will be nothing like LOTR ever again. The best book series and world ever created, and the greatest film trilogy of all time. Cannot be topped.

Ben takes most of the franchises "as a whole, " considering things like "Oh the first 3 were great, but everything after that was meh, " but then he considered Star Wars based on just the parts he likes.

The LOTR movies feel like a miracle, they remain unbeaten in my eyes.

[kimbros]

The fact we did not get a reunion between Han, Luke, and Leia is criminal.

That little scene of Frodo laughing cringe-ly that y'all edited in there CRACKED me up

Lord of the Rings proved it with ROTK alone having 11 academy awards.

[Gaa]

I have watched the extended LOTR movies 7 times now...not even kidding. EACH time i watch it cry. It never gets old, there's always something else to find while watching since Tolkien built a literal world, back story from beginning to end, mirroring the Gospel in a fantasy world. The writing the acting, the first ever movie to portray and internal struggle on the screen through gollum in such an artistic powerful way. The 3 movies are masterpieces and nothing will ever top it.

[markdevries]

LOTR is damn near flawless. I’m glad Ben resisted his favorite franchise and acknowledged LOTR as the greatest of them all. It’s going to be a very long time before another franchise tops it.

[kaitlyncrossley]

I would actually watch a full series of Ben just reviewing movies, he’s always so spot on with his criticisms and movies are fun to review. He just keeps expanding his career into more unknown territory.

[jesserichards]

Ben playing off of his producers made this non-weekly show good. You guys should do this for all of Ben's weekend posts

[katherinemartinez-fuentes]

I know it probably wouldn't have made it to the final round but THE MATRIX should've been in the action category! They were definitely ahead of their time in CGI and had the x-factor in storytelling

[ChismTuggle]

This sounds radical to say, but the Extended Editions of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is, to me, the greatest achievement of art that mankind has ever put together.

That sounds silly to say of a film series, but when one really ponders all of the various elements that went into creating The LOTR, and the quality of what we ultimately got, I just don't think it can be denied. From the Score, The Acting, The Props, The CG, The Cinematography, The Set Designs, The Artwork, The Poetry, The Script...it goes on and on, yet to be surpassed. And perhaps never will.

[Omega-uqfs]

Hahaha Frodo laughin while Ben was thinkin about the acting score was priceless

[thebladerunner]

One film franchise to rule them all, one franchise to find them, one trilogy to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

[nikopawlowic]

There's anothe risk factor that should have been considered for LOTR and that was Peter Jackson was actually filming all 3 movies at the same time, so that would also qualify for a huge risk.
