Here is the list of movie franchises I just don’t bother watching anymore.
There aren’t any movie franchises that have more bad entries than Jurassic Park ,but when you factor in TV Shows Star Wars wins.
You missed Tremors. First 2 movies were great, 3 was okay, but 4 on is straight to DVD nonsense. I remember buying 4 a while after it came out and being pretty disappointed in how far the series had fallen. They had a SciFi TV show too for like a season but iirc they actually released the episodes out of order and so the show never made sense chronologically
I have only seen the first two. It sucks it went to hell. I loved the first two tremors.
On a strange sidenote, I saw the bacon brothers band live. Kevin Bacon actually pitched the song to the movie producers called under Paradise, Which they did not accept as the theme of the movie.
It was a good song
I appreciate how you listed The Matrix twice.
“Whoa. Déjà vu.”
lol…
Edited.
No, no, you were right listing The Matrix twice is absolutely correct.
.. sad but true
I still think Jurassic Park takes the cake here. I can't speak to F&F or Halloween, but most of those franchises have at least one good sequel. The Matrix sequels aren't great but in my opinion they're better than JP's. JP also has an edge with volume.
when just movies, yeah
eh star wars shows hit more often than JP sequels do. Clone Wars, Madalorian, Andor are all good.
Except The Book of Bobba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ashoka and The Acolytte were all trash…
I really liked the new animated predator movie.
FWIW Prey, the predator sequel from a couple years ago, and Alien Romulus were both pretty good.
I have heard that a lot, but was skeptical, so I eventually watched it. Prey was a lot better than all the other Predator sequels but I did not love it. I had a hard time swallowing how she became the biggest warrior around.
Alien Romulus, I will take your word for it. I am just done with the franchise
Prey was straight ass imo. They had a good idea and made something bad out of it.
