Over the past decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has built an expansive set of films while raising the critical and commercial expectations for ongoing movie series.<\/p>\n

But extensive film franchises have been around for awhile, and several older series, like the film adaptations from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth books, have received more positive critical acclaim on average than Marvel’s. And some are only getting better as time goes on, like “Mission: Impossible,” which reached its critical zenith with “Fallout.”<\/p>\n

Stretching from the first James Bond film, 1962’s “Dr. No;” to the latest MCU and “Star Wars” entries; this list we compiled from\u00a0Metacritic\u00a0data ranks prominent film franchises by their average critical reception (derived from the critical scores for each movie in a franchise).<\/p>\n

Note: Metacritic only included franchises that had more than four films with scores on its site, and it excluded horror films and animated series.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are the 27 greatest movie franchises of all time, according to critics:<\/strong><\/p>\n
