They even gave the last one an academy award for best picture.

These

yes
HP comes second, if only because the first ones were good and it had a considerable drop in quality but the audience was already too hooked and invested to notice it or care
>>68767549
No, just most advertised. Most of the DC and Marvel posters on here are paid shills.
that series that starts with s and ends with wars

I'd say Harry Potter is #1
the first few films are pretty good adaptations but overall the books are just plain objectively superior.

Different medium, and the fans are probably adults that grew up with the movies, no one else pretends that the movies are more than inoffensive fun.
It usually goes like this:
1. LotR
2. Star Wars
People would go apeshit saying that the films deserve artistic recognition and then throw them under the bus whenever someone tries to criticize them for the lack of it, usually saying "it's always been about mindless fun".

This.

Worst franchise of all time.
Tarantino

Should be nr. 1. There's so fucking nothing special about SW.

literally this.
You like this because other people like this.
>>68768481
Why?
>>68767641
Nah, LoTR got exactly the right amount of recognition it deserves.
>>68769170
No. I liked it because of muppets. Which are no longer a thing so I no longer like it as much.

A lot of people love LOTR because you were seeing Tolkien's work come to life and the production team actually put the work in unlike the hobbit. All of the miniatures and sets and costume designs were incredible. There is a couple cgi flubs throughout but almost everything holds up today.
The movies were scored and casted perfectly too, by no means are they arthouse movies but seeing movies with that much love for the craft put into it is extremely entertaining and deserves a level of respect, especially when the source material is something like Tolkien's universe.

It's easily Star Wars
I can't even make it through empire strikes back and that's supposed to be the best one. Never even bothered trying with 6, 1-3, or 7
