Movie franchises that blew it? Ill go first 300

Leminy Snickets or whatever it was called. I think it was based on kids book. shyt was too dark for people, they weren't ready for that Jim Carey. Probably his best role.

Yup, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Those were my books when I was younger. I think the film only covered Books 1-3? It nailed the atmosphere nailed down just right in comparison to whatever was presented on that Netflix series. Shame.

If we had actually gotten a film series and they stayed faithful to the source material, them stories would’ve got even darker.

Any of those YA franchises based on book series except Twilight, Harry Potter and Hunger Games.

Percy Jackson, Maze Runner, Divergent, and Narnia never even finished their series.

They did finish that. Third was just ok

i was fukkin with divergent untill it turned into nazi propaganda in that last movie
maze runner did finish their series
maze runner was kinda decent

How bout one that never was.

The Dark Tower should have been a movie series, or at least an HBO/Showtime series. They fukked up arguably King's best work by taking 8 books and cramming into one movie. Unlike many of King's other works, he actually stuck the landing on the ending too. Missed opportunity.

jumper and i am no.4

The Unbreakable film series

M. Night fukked up that third film

It was set up to win.

Why he do it like that? What a lame ass story. M. Knight can't write for shyt.

Spoiler

I saw the L coming in Split. How you gonna have a beast only take a little nibble out of fine ass Marcia? A real "beast" would have ate her out

-This. That 3rd movie ruined everything & made absolutely no sense.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Taken. Part 2 was horrendous and 3 was even worse than 2.

Taken 2 & 3 should have never been made and pretty much disrespected a classic.
.

That's Luc Besson for you.

 

[Duke Dixon]

Jeepers Creepers.

Watched the 1st one last night and it was great. The 2nd one was so bad I never checked out the third. This franchise could have been the 2000s F13th or Nightmare on Elm Street.

 

[Geek Nasty]

Men in Black movies

2nd pull the CLASSIC lazy sequel move. "Let's pretend the ending never happened so we can carbon copy the format of the 1st one!"

OT but one of my favorite low budget horror movies Stakeland pulled this shyt, I balled after 5 minutes.

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Prometheus

How were these done so terribly

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

This based on those kids books?

 

[Ozymandeas]

300 was A great movie. When i heard a sequel was being made i was


Man the 2nd movie was ass!!!!

They should have made it into a television series after the first movie.

A whole television universe with that style would have been sooooooo dope.

They could have focused on Xerses and the end of the Greco-Persian war, then shifted to the war between Athens and Sparta, and then finally to Phillip coming down from the mountains and taking over Greece after those two destroyed each other which eventually set the stage for his son to take over Hollywood always focused on Alexander the Great or the Battle of Thermopylae but, that period in between those events would be just as interesting and the period after Alexander's death where his generals carved up his empire could easily be a Game of Thrones level show.
