Titanic is on the movie box office list for making over $1.8 billion worldwide. According to Yahoo! Movies’ five critics, the movie scored an A-. Titanic is the greatest movie of all time.
The example’s argument is strong because the premises given are true. However, even if the premises are true that the movie Titanic made more than a billion dollars since it opened in 1997, and Yahoo! Movies gave a rating of A-, it does not mean that Titanic is the greatest movie of all time, as stated in the conclusion. The first premise stating how much money the movie made is credible. According to my research, Yahoo! Movie’s A- rating was given by five critics. For the conclusion, it is true that Titanic may be one of the greatest movies of all time, but it does not hold the title as “The Greatest Movie of All Time.” It is also possible that Titanic was the greatest movie of all time, but another movie could have taken the title from it. The conclusion could also just be the person’s opinion stating the sentence; perhaps because it’s the person’s favorite movie or the only movie that person has ever watched.
Your example of a strong argument I feel is very strong. It gives a good example by giving the facts from Yahoo movies five critics. It is a good argument because they believe it is the best movie ever because of the $1.8 billion worldwide that is grossed. However, the argument is hard for it to be considered the best movie ever because it only had a A- rating. Because of the A- rating it makes this a contreversial argument therefore I praise the example you came up with.
