The Lego Movie is the Best Movie Ever

I. Money is a valid gauge for determining the value of something.My opponent attempts to claim that money is not a valid gauge for determining the success of a movie because of ticket inflation prices. This is absurd. It takes an extremely basic mathematical formula to calculate the real worth of a certain amount of money. One can even Google 'inflation calculator' to find a free-to-use calculator for determining such things. To claim that using money isn't a valid form of comparing success because of inflation is a joke at best. The literal definition of success is: a person or thing that has had success, as measured by attainment of goals, wealth, etc. [1]In addition to that, the term best is defined as: Better than all others in quality or value. Most skillful, talented, or successful. [2] Clearly it can be seen that using money as a gauge for determining which movie is the most successful and in turn "the best movie of all time" then it is most certainly fair to use money as a determining factor. Especially when considering the subjective nature of what movie is "the best of all time", we cannot allow emotion and personal preference to control a topic worthy of objective analysis.

It is not my duty to provide which movie is best or better.My opponent has attempted to claim that I must provide a movie which is better than the Lego Movie or what I think is the best movie of all time. My opponent has made the bold claim that The Lego Movie is the best movie of all time. All that I must do is provide valid evidence that proves that there are better movies that have been made throughout the history of film. In my previous round, I have done just that. I have proven that The Lego Movie is not the highest rated movie of all time, I have proven that The Lego Movie is not the highest grossing film of all time (financially speaking), and I have proven that not everyone agrees that The Lego Movie is the best movie of all time. If you consider the definition of the term best, The Lego Movie has not met each of those standards. We are not debating if one movie is better than the other, or if The Lego Movie is 'possibly' the best movie of all time. As I said earlier, my opponent has made a claim that is in essence an absolute claim. I have proven that his claim is inaccurate by using objective methods of comparison. III. My opponent has proven my point for me.In round 3, my opponent said the following: "The Lego Movie only had one flaw as far as I could read from the audience reviews--some people did not like the animation." This statement alone proves my case that The Lego Movie is not the best movie of all time. For someone to not like something, they are using their mental capability of passing judgement based on phenomenon in which someone compares something to another similar thing. I think it is safe to say that The Lego Movie was not the first animated film the critic has seen, especially if they are playing the role of critic. If this wasn't the best animation they've ever seen, then The Lego Movie could not possibly be the best movie of all time. No matter how my opponent wants to spin it - animation is part of the movie and thus is responsible for determining the success of the film. In Conclusion,I have presented arguments which remains unchallenged by my opponent. Such as the fact that literally hundreds of films have received higher ratings and success than The Lego Movie. Therefore, I extend all arguments while also presenting the rebuttals above against my opponent's claims.
