25 Best Reviewed Franchise Films Of The 21st Century (According To Metacritic)

6. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (87)

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2
Warner Bros.

Bringing it all back home to Hogwarts with a resounding, emotional crescendo, the final chapter of Harry Potter's big-screen journey arguably held a beneficial advantage in only adapting the final third of the series' last novel - but either way, critics thrilled to its ultimate conclusion.

Having held the reins for three films, David Yates finally delivered on the promise shown throughout his run to craft a hard-hitting quasi-war film streaked with a decade's worth of narrative weight and power - while Alan Rickman finally reveals his colours with a masterful turn.

Something of a culture vulture, Mr Steel can historically be found in three places; the local cinema, the local stadium or the local chip shop. He is an avowed fan of franchise films, amateur cricket and power-chords.
