One Trilogy To Rule Them All?

One PhD. attempts to settle a months old arguement…

.Dr Albert Oxford, PhD. has tackled the great conundrum of the past two months; “Which film trilogy is the greatest of all time?”

I’ve reposted the preface to his article… check out the rest here: One Trilogy To Rule Them All

Lord of the Rings vs. The Matrix vs. Star Wars

A Comparitive Critique by Dr. Albert Oxford, PhD

WARNING: In this article we DO quantifiably conclude which film trilogy is superior. If you cannot tolerate having your opinions challenged or hearing forceful statements backed up by empirical fact, please leave and continue your grazing.

Preface:

*Note for the American readers: this is the a part of the article before the main article starts.
-Dr. Oxford

What you see below is not opinion. I have become the world’s preeminent voice on popular culture (and American cinema in particular), rising above the dreck of entertainment journalism like an evolved legfish first crawling out of the stench-laden slime of ancient Earth, for good reason. I have written over a hundred tomes* on film and I can assure you that one of the aforementioned trilogii is superior to another, and the third is superior still (though not necessarily superior to the first). It is demonstrable and quantifiable.

*books

If you feel a particular affection for one or more of these series (though strange, as I assure you that none of these films love you) there is only a 33.33% chance that you will not be offended by the outcome of this study, as only one of the three can win. Now, I have not hidden in my previous writings my utter personal loathing for two of these film franchises but obviously that does not disqualify me from comparing one to another, just as, under certain circumstances, one may have to choose between eating all the fur off a dead elk and, say, giving a nude massage to one’s own mother.

Are you intellectually prepared for such difficult truths? Well, read on anyway.
