Most Epic Movie Series of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Lord of the Rings Series

Lord of the Rings is definitely the most epic movie series of all time. Harry Potter is good, but not an epic. The series is focused on little adventures until the the big climax with Lord Voldemort. In fact, a lot of the stories is about them learning magic, Voldemort is not really considered a big threat until mid-way through the series. I believe an Epic a series focused on one threat, with maybe a couple story lines. One big adventure, the whole thing took place in about a year, with the main heroes suffering through many hardships throughout the whole thing. All to save Middle Earth, and its people.

The final scene of this trilogy left my heart with the warmest feeling I've ever experienced. Home is always closer than we most times think, and the struggles we suffer in life, in the end are not in vain cause we learn, we grow as humans, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. that's just what Frodo and Sam journey represented. This is Shakesperian quality to say the least. Best movies of all time.

Enjoy LOTR, because the reality is, we may never again see a movie of this magnitude in our lifetime. Directors work on a great movie for 2 years. Peter Jackson has worked on the LOTR series for 15. There are certainly other good films, but none with the magnitude and complexity of this one. Not by a longshot.

Sure, Harry Potter and Star Wars and all those are cool, but if any series is compared to Lord of the Rings, they will fall short by a lot. The acting, the effects, the camera work, the script, the emotional impact, the music (oh god, the MUSIC! ) These other series pale in comparison.

2 Harry Potter Series

Easily the best book to movie adaptation ever. Most successful book series ever and second most successful movie series ever. And all of the books are masterpieces and so are most of the movies. Third, last and fifth movies should have got at least one OSCAR. How this series cannot be described as the greatest is beyond me.

Harry Potter definitely deserves to be first. Harry Potter takes you from the beginning to a boys life, where he learns and becomes curious about the world of magic to the point where he can use magic on his own. Harry Potter shows shows us how even bad things become good, and how we just have to believe

Harry Potter really does deserve first place. The story, characters, settings, scenes, etc. made all of us watch till the end. Though Voldemort's movie death was not that close to his book death, everybody still loved the movies

Easily the best. The books are completely out of this world and the movies are amazing. Genius is the only word I can use to describe this series

3 Star Wars Series

Are you nuts? Harry Potter more epic than Star Wars? I LOVE Harry Potter but if you talk about epic the Webster's dictionary even has a paragraph where it says "Star Wars saga"

This is what you call epic. It was made in 1977, and it was more intense. Star Wars gives you that feeling when you are on the edge of your feet.

This is the best franchise. The best ever. No contest. Empire Strikes Back. Enough said.

The best movie ever. It'S doing me sad every time I see that wonderfuls movies

4 The Dark Knight Series

Truly epic with a completely new and interesting take on superhero movies.

Has to be one of the best Film Series from the last 10 years.

Dark knight is hands down the best movie. Best movie series.

Amazing movies and should be at number 2 really(Harry Potter will always be first though).

Great

5 Pirates of the Carribean Series

Amazing movies and I love all of them. No idea how Star Wars is above this when you have junk like Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace in the lineup

Though the second and third were not so great, it had an epic storyline, and there's not so many pirate movies out there

Captain Jack Sparrow is the absolute best character of all time and I love the whole series

Captain Jack Sparrow is the best character ever made!

6 James Bond Series

I think James Bond should be in the top 3. I've seen every single one of the movies and they were all great, especially Casino Royale.

Bond is one of the most influential spies on the big screen he deserves this spot

Great movies and Skyfall is so the best Bond ever

The only series that's shaken not stirred.

7 Marvel Cinematic Universe

Best because its continuity is real. Every film connects to the next film and newer films fill in gaps of older films. Its all one gigantic T.V. show that when viewed as a whole is a masterpiece and I love it!

This series includes amazing movies as The Avengers, Iron Man and Captain America: The Winter Soldier!

Good but The Avengers is so gigantically overrated because it has Amman awful story

DC is way better than this considering that they have THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY

8 Spiderman Series

You forgot the third and Toby Maguire is awful as Spider-Man. THE CHEESYNESS IS TO BAD

Heavily influential superhero films

All 3 were great

9 X-men Series

Great series apart from the third and first Wolverine movie. The rest are great. Especially Days of Future Past

Keeps you on edge love the series.

10 Back to the Future Series

Yet again, this series never ceases to amaze me.

All day long...the most epic thing ever.

Good, but not epic.

Great classic

The Contenders
11 Indiana Jones Series

Best Archeological movies of all time

12 Bourne Series

An action-packed epic spy series

Matt damon is best actor

How the Hunger Games is above this is beyond me

Mark is the best for me

13 The Hunger Games Series

I think the Hunger Games seiries ahould be either be the second or third best on this list I am not happy of where it is at on the list becuase I am big fan of this seiries and I have already seen the first and second movie

I think that this series should be number 2 on the list the movies are awesome and the books are even better

Awesome and epicly well made being action and mild gore all around

14 The Fast and the Furious Series

Ooo come on, people is really stupid, all people is stupid, this franchise is one of the worst of all time, only the first one is decent at least, then all the movies are the same

This is my favorite movie series
I'm biggest fan of Vin diesel & Paul walker after this film series

Not the best but ya is very good especially after dwyane "the rock" johnson joined the team

The best of all how come this one isn't on top RIP Paul Walker

15 Ocean's Trilogy
16 The Hobbit Series

I count these and LOTR as one franchise so these should be around 3rd

17 Godzilla Series
18 Mission Impossible Series

1 was great. 2 derailed the franchise. Movies 3-5 are brilliant. Thank you JJ Abrams for the reboot.

The movie is great ever seen movie like this it is most competible

19 Batman Series

I love batman. He's movies are way more epic than Harry potter and lord of the rings. I canot stand Harry potter.lord of the rings is ok but batman has more epic movies. I love it when he fights bane in tdkr

I think that when he fights joker is the best... I would disagree with you because the action in Harry Potter is amazing.

Perhaps the greatest superhero of all time

20 Chronicals of Narnia

They need to make the 4rth one already. I have been waiting patiently but it's been a while.

21 Godfather Series

Imdb top 250 speaks for itself.

15?! You gotta be Kidding Me

22 Percy Jackson Series
23 Alien Series
24 The Matrix Series
25 The Mummy Series

The movies are great, not excellent, but great, and it does have a rather epic storyline
