Your Favorite Franchises

[David H.]

The opening of ToD is a better movie than the one that follows.

Same could be said about Mac's stories in Crystal Skull.

 

[Sundancer]

Crusade lost me when the old crusader who's been living in a room for several hundred years showed up.



Anybody else like the Lethal Weapon movies?

Can I have Rene Russo from Lethal Weapon 3 for my birthday?

You mean the franchise that has one good albeit overrated movie, and a bunch of mediocre sequels?

Yes but beg to differ.
The 1st & last ,as bookends, make 2 good films for the franchise.
But many franchises ,you can point out, dont have ALL strong entries in them.
Look at what others are saying about Indiana Jones.

Here's a great list of franchises if anyone's forgotten any,

http://www.filmsite.org/series-boxoffice.html

Pixar-Disney - is still mostly a brand
Star Wars - my attention starts and ends with the cartoon
Harry Potter - I fell off the train for inexplicable reasons
Middle Earth - LOTR = fav trilogy / lost interest in Hobbit
X-Men - through all its ups and downs, still my favorite
Star Trek - works better as a show
Fast and the Furious - keeps getting better
Madagascar - dethroned Shrek as the funniest animated franchise of all time
Planet of the Apes - only saw the 2001 one and the recent rebooted prequels; definitely plan on seeing the older ones
Terminator - seen everything; only the show and Salvation seem to want to actually make it grow which is what I stick around for
TMNT - I'm there!
Saw / Final Destination / Nightmare on Elm Street - can't resist creative kills
Underworld - can't resist Beckinsale/Mitra
Evil Dead - did a marathon for the first time (all but AoD I was watching for the 1st time) and loved each one

Be prepared for a very different viewing experience with the older Apes films then....

[scarlet-witch]

[Milk Tray Guy]

For me off the top of my head DCEU, MCU, XCU, James Bond, Resident Evil and Underworld (you never said they had to be good!), Insidious, The Conjuring, Blade.

 

[Rick the Ruler]

This is not ranked in any way...

LOTR - Not Hobbit, which was ****, but LOTR. Some of the best movies ever made.

X-Men (including spin-offs) - grew up with it. Favorite of all superhero franchises. It had its flaws, but it rocks anyway.

Harry Potter - also grew up with it. Read all the books. Classic ****.

Star Wars - it's freakin' SW. Do I have to say anything else?

That's my top 4. I like dozens of other franchises, but these I can watch anytime, anywhere. I didn't put MCU in because I don't like it so much as a whole - some movies are excellent, while the majority is passable. Not great, not bad.

[Iron_Stark]

I have a lot

MCU
Star Wars
Romero's Dead Series
Terminator
Aliens
Predator
Robocop
View Askew Universe
X-Men
Sony's Spider-Man
Lethal Weapon
Ghostbusters 1, 2 & the videogame
Indiana Jones
the classic horror monsters (Dracula, Frankenstien, Wolfman, Mummy)
modern horror (Halloween, Nightmare, Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw)

 

[Mandon Knight]

I was too old for Harry Potter first time round and don't have any children so missed them on that score too, so I picked up the box-set on blu-ray some time back and making my way through them, done 1-3 so far, Goblet of Fire next and am hugely impressed by them.

They are perfect 'easy watch' viewing, proper Sunday afternoon escapism.
