10 Movie Franchises That We’ve Had Enough Of

“Money, money, money.” 

Some Hollywood franchises might as well replace every spoken word of English with this phrase and the final product would basically be the same. Same depth of plot, same character interaction, same mindless movies…

While some recent blockbusters such as Avengers and Inception have demonstrated that intelligent film making can be successful, Hollywood just doesn’t know when to let go sometimes, even if the franchise in question is awful. Mainstream movie producers are like those clingy exes who refuse to let go, long after the magic has died and no one else even remembers what the fuss was about in the first place.

It seems like there are more franchises around than ever before and those that did eventually end are being resuscitated for a new generation of gullible cinema goers. A few such as Alien and Blade Runner have potential if handled right, but some of these franchises should have just been strangled at birth and thrown into the nearest dumpster. And those that started off well, but went downhill? They just need to be put down and taken out of their misery, like a bland Old Yeller. If I could assassinate these films, I’d… ok. You get the point.

Anyway, read on to discover 10 movie franchises that need to die. Those who wish to agree or disagree or even just say meh are welcome to do so in the comments section below.
