Must-see epic fantasy franchises for everyone
No movie of this genre is complete without a heroic quest leading to the fulfillment of a destiny. Throw in some sweeping landscapes, a slew of magical objects, and a sprinkle of mythical creatures, and you have yourself an epic fantasy. Few films have done more for the genre than the Lord of the Rings franchise, specifically The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Those award-winning movies are rivaled in the genre by the Harry Potter films, which, from The Philosopher’s Stone all the way to The Deathly Hallows Part 2, offer a spectacular immersion into a magical fantasy realm. Other multi-movie stories include The Wizard of Oz alongside Wicked and Wicked: For Good, The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest, and At World’s End, and Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
