The Greatest Movie Franchises of All Time, According to Critics

Stretching from the first James Bond film, 1962's "Dr. No;" to the latest MCU and "Star Wars" entries; this list we compiled from Metacritic data ranks prominent film franchises by their average critical reception (derived from the critical scores for each movie in a franchise).
Note: Metacritic only included franchises that had more than four films with scores on its site, and it excluded horror films and animated series.
