Get ready to nerd out, y'all. To complete the challenge, you must match the movie trilogies to their abbreviated reviews, as the average fan of that respective franchise reviews them.  Exactly one solution exists. Unless otherwise noted, each refers to the first three films in a franchise.

2. The Bourne Identity films
3. Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns
4. The Godfather
5. Harry Potter
6. Indiana Jones
7. Lord of the Rings
8. The Matrix
9. Mission Impossible
10. Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen
11. Pirates of the Caribbean
12. Star Trek films, first three
13. Star Trek films, second three
14. Star Trek films, third three
15. Star Wars Original Trilogy
16. Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

a. Great, O.K., Fantastic
b. Unbearable, Classic, Dog
c. Great, Good, Franchise-Killing
d. Turkey, Bomb, Barely Redeeming
e. Fun, Pretty fun, Mediocre

We're guessing on what you think of these trilogies? 'cause I might have different tastes...  I'll give it a go:


3 = o
4 = f
6 = k
7 = i
8 = n
10 = l
11 = m
13 = p
15 = e
16 = d



I honestly couldn't answer any more, as my opinions of the films left don't match up to the reviews given.

I was aiming more for a fanboy consensus of the films.

Number correct: 5

Hint: Time travel and light comedies are always fun.
