TBH i liked xmen 3.i loved the concept of the remaining xmen trying to live up to charles xavier's name, and trying to rebuild the team with the students who were loyal to him and his legacy. and that final fight was quite emotional for me. but dark phoenix?? uhhh, so much wasted potential with two of the best arcs from the xmen (apocalypse and dark phoenix)
Love it too! I don't understand why people hate it so much. It's WAY better than Space Jam. Brendan Fraser is awesome and it actually feels like a Looney Tunes film, compared to Space Jam which is about Michael Jordan
I’m still mad they couldn’t just recast Ezra Miller after all his controversies. They did it for “All the money in the world.” Why not “The Flash”? People like Miller and amber heard are menaces they actually deserved to not only be cancelled, but buried under the mat for good.
even after proven guilty they aren't cancelled and yet Johnny Depp and James Gunn would be people to get cancelled instead. I think Hollywood has learnt it's lesson cause even after allegations now Jonathan Majors is still playing Kang, and I do not think Disney would repeat it's mistake again, probably would cast him only after He is proven guilty, else they ain't taking risk again, they saw the outcome already with Depp and Gunn.
For The Flash I kind of get, since the actor was playing 3 different versions of the same character (Present Barry, past Barry, and Black Flash Barry), most of which were on screen at the same time. They apparently had all the parts featuring all 3 Barry's complete by the time the controversy hits, so logically if they did recast, it be a major investment loss since it's not just a single character that is prominently featured in the film being recasted, but 3.
@@MarcSpctr The film was too far into development most likely, plus as many people have stated Ezra was playing multiple rolls so recasting would have required re-shooting almost the entire film, digitally replacing him would probably have ballooned the budget of the film to where they would never make the return on the investment.
The error that the "Fantastic Beasts" movies had was moving away from the Fantastic beasts part of the stories. There was a lot of potential with that concept. A lot. They blew it.
@@800Ms-k6n yeah didn't get that I mean fantastic beasts could have been WB & JK Rowling's Pokémon yet it was squandered because they wanted to be dark, gritty for whatever reason.
the thing that killed superman for like 20 years was that reeve not only disowned SM4 but that tragic accident which left him bound to a wheelchair until his death
yea i remember when the news stated he was slowly starting to regain some feeling and movement, everyone was hoping that one day he would once again walk and make another superman movie, but i agree while SM4 was bad, it wasn't what killed it.. the horse accident did
The big issue with The Mummy is that they tried too hard to make it an introduction to the Dark Universe franchise instead of trying to make it a good movie on its own. It would have worked a lot better if they focused on the plot of the main monster and only introduced the whole Jekyl subplot near the very end to start building up that there's something else.
As far as I’m concerned, the Wachowskis deliberately sabotaged *Matrix: Resurrections.* You could tell from the meta dialogue that they didn’t want to make that film, so they did everything they could to ensure the studio wouldn’t want to do another one either.
They both initially declined to do it then WB made it clear they would make the film with or without them so one of them agreed but phoned it in anyway, it was doomed from the start tbh
The joke was even added to the film!! They explained how WB execs pushed it anyway, so they said fuck it let’s make it meta as fuck. Our viewers will notice the irony.
The best thing about Jaws 4 was the quote Michael Caine came out with..... "By all accounts it was a terrible movie, but did you see the wonderful house it built". Goes to show you don't have to like your job, nut you do what you've got to do
I remember a comedian razzing "Jaws The Revenge": he called it a stupid movie with stupid things happening like the woman deciding to escape from her hometown via plane and go to the Bahamas.... Where the shark is waiting for her.... HOW DID THE SHARK KNOW WHERE SHE WAS GOING AND HOW? DID? IT? GET? THERE? AHEAD? OF? HER?????? Swimming? Sharks can swim faster than jet planes can fly?
14:03, Funny enough, I never knew that Son of the Mask was suppose to be a Sequel to the 1st Mask Film when I was young. When I saw this on Cartoon Network, I thought it was its own seperate Film, until years later that I found out that I would somehow be wrong without knowing. Not to mention it looked like a Made-For TV Movie to me.
Wonder Woman wasn't taken down by the pandemic it was trashed by writers who couldn't see a woman super hero movie without her main motivation being her love life. It was a trash sequel all on it's own lack of merits.
Harrison Ford said in interviews that the last Indiana Jones was meant to be a final goodbye to Indiana Jones, not a film to start a cinematic universe. It's a nastalga film.
I won't be watching any of his movies anymore. It's obvious to me he has lost the will to act and only does it now for the money!!! His interviews have killed all my interest in his films.
Honestly, I didn't hate The Next Karate Kid. Maybe bc I wasn't born when the original came out. But as a 90s kid I found it refreshing to see a girl kick a bunch of bully's asses.
The Flash made back its budget, helped by its worldwide gross. Sure it only made $70, 633, 313 more than its budget but it’s still in millions. It may not have done well in the United States, but it’s not a bomb.
@@jamiethal1319You don't seem to realize that a whole lot of money goes into post production and promotional costs, those numbers are not displayed in the initial budget of a film. If you look into those numbers for that specific film, you'll see that they fell behind by about 150-200 million.
For what it's worth, Superman Returns, which I liked for what it was in spite of its' problems, was made to be a sequel to the first two movies and the last two and Supergirl aren't canon and the same actor, Brandon Routh, and the same continuity came back for Crisis on Infinite Earths, which I also liked!
The Looney Tunes might actually recover from the BiA box office failure. Not only do they have a Coyote v. Acme live-action/animated hybrid on the works, but the first original fully animated theatrical Looney Tunes film to receive a theatrical release will come out next year. And if either of these films or both succeed at the box office, the Looney Tunes may see a return to the big screen.
Yes, my friends. For me, from basic things like: Keanu keeping his John Wick-look and no Hugo Weaving as Smith to the meta-narrative and destruction of the lore.
I've watched all the Divergent movies in theaters and yet I can't remember anything about the plot or even small details in the movies. All these years, i describe Divergent series as a film series starring a bunch of good looking people. That's pretty much it 😂😂
I work in Glasgow where parts of the last Indiana Jones was filmed, The turned a few of the streets into 1960s New York and I went and got a lot of pictures of the set.
Still devastated by the movie adaptation of Beautiful Creatures. It was one of my favourite book series, but I couldn’t even finish the movie it was so horrendous.
Oddly enough as I much as I enjoyed the OG Friday and Nightmare, I’ve never seen the Friday reboot and I’ve seen the Nightmare one and yeah I agree it sucks balls.
naa, Black Adam till he surrenders and is submerged into water prison was a decent movie, but after that it just was total PoS. and all the hype around it was only cause of return of Henry Cavil's Superman. But Flash (apart from it's VFX) was actually a very good movie, but the announcement of DCEU ending lead to people not wanting to watch the film. but it was actually a very good film.
This is a hot take, but I actually enjoyed watching The Flash. It was by no means a perfect movie, but I loved seeing Michael Keaton as Batman again and the ending was really tearjerking for me. That’s my opinion and no one can change it
Not a hot take really. as the movie (apart from terrible VFX) was actually really good. But sadly the announcement that the stories won't be continuing and reboot of DCEU led to people skipping that film. but it definitely was a good film.
That’s a fact, the movie was ruined because they were going to reboot and people lost interest since none of the plot would matter. But it was a solid movie, even better than black Adam
Between them keeping a problematic actor on as their main character and the superhero market already being oversaturated and DC movies already being kind of on thin ice, they really took a good movie and ruined it before it could even be in theaters
Superman 4 and Batman and Robin aren’t really the franchises final nails in their coffin anymore. Considering how many more successful films were released afterwards, despite a long hiatus
I'm still bitter about the Divergent series. I loved the books but each movie got exponentially worse. And then we never received a finale. Makes me mad!
Divergent tv series did not happen, because the main actress Shailene Woodley effectively stated her agreement was as a movie star for the films. Not a low level tv actress status.
My friends and their boat were background extras in Speed 2. They were paid to hang out on their own boat in the Caribbean for something like six weeks, and they're a tiny little dot in one shot.
Chris Reeve was so proud that he got a screenwriting credit for Supes 4. Margot Kidder talked about how he was a bit insufferable about it. When that movie tanked he was sang a different tune.
The Next Karate Kid was also the debut of Hilary Swank. The only redeeming factor about that movie was seeing Pat Morita reprising his role as Mr Miyagi. Then in 2010 we would get a reboot movie starring Jaden Smith which was ironically called The Karate Kid. Except it's not Karate, it's Kung Fu.
@@Monke_073 Even Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Birds of Prey, Shazam, Zack Snyder's Justice League, James Gunn The Suicide Squad, & Blue Beetle?
You guys are just clearly basing it off when it was first released. As of now: Jaws the revenge made $51 million on a $23 million budget. Superman 4 made $30 million on a $17 million budget. The next karate kid made $15 million on a $12 million budget Speed two made $164 million on a $160 million budget Dial of Destiny made $383 million on a $294 million budget. Birds of prey made $200 million on a $84 million budget Black Adam made $393 million on a $195 million budget Secrets of Dumbledore made $400 million on a $200 million budget Vegas vacation made $36 million on a $25 million budget Dark Phoenix made $250 million on a $200 million budget Wrath of Khan $79 million on a $11 million budget Fantastic four 2015 made $167 million on a $120 million budget. Terminator dark fate made $261 million on a $185 million budget The mummy made $400 million on a $125 million budget Batman and Robin made $238 million on a $125 million budget
They should have used brainiac change everything for the plot and start over. Same thing with Superman 4 and use bizarro instead of nuclear man start over with the plot.
The issue with the Terminator franchise, is that we want a movie about the war. Not just little flashbacks or visions, a full on 2 hours of machines vs the resistance. But they won't do that.🤷♂️
Salvation is the closest we have to a war movie. I like the movie but it could be better. If they make a war film the protagonist could be Kyle Reese or John Connor. Kyle Reese grew up after judgment day. John Connor is the one who taught the resistance to fight and destroy these machines. who should be the focus? John or Kyle.
Superman IV was a bad movie, but it's kind of funny that the actor who played Lex Luthor's nephew eventually went on to do an amazing portrayal of Lex himself.
Oh sure, the next Karate Kid may have stopped any future movies, but we all know that if Hillary Swank's character showed up in the final season of Cobra Kai, lots of people will be cheering...
Jaws, the revenge didn't bomb: for a budget of $20 million, the movie generated $51 million. If this movie destroyed the franchise, this is because this is so bad. You should have put "Son of the Mask" in number one. In fact, "Dial of destiny" is, for me, an excellent movie.
I think the DCU movies are mostly good and the Matrix Resurrection was good too. But sometimes in DCU case introducing gags in superhero movies can be too much, and take the threat away from the moment.
Yeah, I think a lot of the DC movies are good as well. Though, I was swayed out of seeing Blue Beetle bc people on Facebook wouldn’t shut up about it bombing.
I went to see FLASH because of Andy Muschietti I love when horror directors make superhero movies And despite everything that caused the movie to bomb, I had a really good time watching it I'm also very exciting to see Muschietti's take on BRAVE AND THE BOLD
I think some of the movies mentioned here performed badly in the box office because, the studio or distributor didn't really spend time and money on the marketing.
"The Police Academy movies were never considered high art or high comedy..." Of course not, because they were always gonna be live-action Looney Tunes for adults.
as for matrix 4 ... the wachowski's were forced into making the 4th due to a technicality in the copyright red tape ... they said in multiple interviews that they were done after 3 -- the story they wanted to tell was done
I don't know. My feeling is that you can't call it a franchise if it was the first or second movie in the "franchise," even if there were plans to make more movies. I just think that a franchise has to be at least 3 movies long.
TBF, Space Jam: A New Legacy became the most controversial movie of the 21st century by cancellations even re-animating Lola Bunny in a different thing also LeBron James got his Razzie Award and people still disliking him now. Warner Bros, made WORST decisions too many and hopefully, it needs to be stopped. Also it failed on the box office during the CONVID-19 incident, too.
I did too, it was the perfect middle movie in the franchise. Better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Temple of Doom but not as good as Raiders and Last Crusade.
You said it all, about halfway though - just because a movie made money doesn't mean it needs a sequel. Until the 80s, original movies were made, without endless sequels.
I thought THE MUMMY was okay, but it should’ve been a LOT better and I was looking forward to the Dark Universe back then, especially with one of my gods Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man. Also, I love the FANTASTIC BEASTS trilogy and wished that the five-movie plan continued even without Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald.
The only ones I've seen are, Sin City, A Dame To Kill For, The Matrix Resurrections, Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny, The DCEU films mentioned minus Shazam: Fury Of The Gods, Looney Tunes Back In Action, Fantastic Four, Dark Phoenix, Son Of The Mask Terminator: Dark Fate and Batman & Robin. I do think however a bomb doesn't always necessarily mean that it's going to be a bad film. Looney Tunes: Back In Action I don't think it's a bad film the rest yes i agree with that.
To be fair, Fox was losing the X-men to Disney. It was horrendous for sure, but it'll be rebooted ( I hate that term), and the franchise will rise from the ashes once again.
I don't know if it's fair to blame Black Adam for the fall of the DCEU. 1. Most of their movies in the whole thing were at best average, with a few stand outs. And 2. James Gunn was always going to axe it, that's why he was brought on.
Jurassic World: Dominion was also a franchise killer. That should have been in there instead of Nemesis, because everyone involved AGREED it would be the last Star Trek movie with long-time members as leads.\
@Comicbookfanboy31 no it was terrible. They just did it to try and justify send their usual hollywood messaging. People weren't happy with it so the movie flopped It's amazing how many legacy characters and actors you can get to come back just to make a shit movie to kill the franchise
The movie didn’t flop though.Thanks to the overseas markets, the movie made back more than its budget. Sarah was always more important to me than John. She was always my favorite and I was so happy that Linda Hamilton came back.
I thought the flash movie was very good. I was a flash fan back in the day. To me the flash film had all of the flavor and texture of the infantino stories. The terminator dark fate was good too. I am always suspicious when a film is popular with the hoi polloi. I am equally suspicious when a film is deemed a flop before it's released.
Holy crap I forgot about Superman being able to rebuild things with his eyelazers. Screw Rumsfield and Halliburton. When it comes to rebuilding cities after war I go with the Superman 4 approach
Terminator: Dark Fate would've been a fine movie IF it would've been Grace going back in time to protect Sarah (Linda Hamilton's) and finding a hardened person instead of trying to push new "commander of the rebellion" on us. The Terminator movies and series was always Sarah's story...in my humble opinion but they kept screwing it up by focusing on John.
Well that's stupid the whole point is John Connor is the leader of the resistance then they kill him off in this utter shite movie of female empowerment. Sarah Connor was always a powerful woman.
What do you think would have made the the Flash movie more like and possibly the most popular movie in the DCEU? Is James Gunn going to reboot that movie in his new DC projects in the DCU with Lucas Till or Will Poulter playing the Flash?
@@jakushkadarkstalker6278Warner Bros' worst mistake was rushing BvS before Man of Steel got a proper sequel. That's what screwed them over more than anything else.
@@eec589 It really would have made no difference. BvS was absolutely terrible. The directing, the writing, the fact like it felt like it tried to be a dozen different movies all at once.
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny is the final Indy film, and Disney has zero plans for any spin offs from this franchise, so, it didn't kill this franchise, at all, and you need to recheck your information.
Good on you for bringing up Star Trek: Nemesis. They did a whole third season of Star Trek: Picard to restore the absolute farrago of that abysmal movie.
I Highly Disagree With Some Of These Movies, They Didn't Destroy Any Franchise Especially Sin City 2, Both Movies Are Exceptional! It's A Shame We Haven't Seen The 3rd One.

I’m still mad they couldn’t just recast Ezra Miller after all his controversies.
They did it for “All the money in the world.” Why not “The Flash”? People like Miller and amber heard are menaces they actually deserved to not only be cancelled, but buried under the mat for good.
even after proven guilty they aren't cancelled and yet Johnny Depp and James Gunn would be people to get cancelled instead.

-Blade: Trinity
-Eragon
-Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
-Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
-Little Fockers
-John Carter
RoboCop 3, Ghost Rider and Blade weren't really box office bombs
This is a hot take, but I actually enjoyed watching The Flash. It was by no means a perfect movie, but I loved seeing Michael Keaton as Batman again and the ending was really tearjerking for me. That’s my opinion and no one can change it
Not a hot take really.
as the movie (apart from terrible VFX) was actually really good.
But sadly the announcement that the stories won't be continuing and reboot of DCEU led to people skipping that film.
but it definitely was a good film.
That’s a fact, the movie was ruined because they were going to reboot and people lost interest since none of the plot would matter. But it was a solid movie, even better than black Adam
I think Ezra miller being in the movie played a huge part of the reason why it flopped
Well that’s because they leaned into that after the actor turned out to be a terrible human being. So makes sense. They got you
Between them keeping a problematic actor on as their main character and the superhero market already being oversaturated and DC movies already being kind of on thin ice, they really took a good movie and ruined it before it could even be in theaters
We just learned thanks to Hot Ones recent interview with Tony Hawk, that Skate Jam was in the works until Back In Action flopped.
Superman 4 and Batman and Robin aren’t really the franchises final nails in their coffin anymore.
Considering how many more successful films were released afterwards, despite a long hiatus
It's weird, I remember enjoying that Looney Tunes movie when I was a kid.
I'm still bitter about the Divergent series. I loved the books but each movie got exponentially worse. And then we never received a finale. Makes me mad!
Divergent tv series did not happen, because the main actress Shailene Woodley effectively stated her agreement was as a movie star for the films. Not a low level tv actress status.
My friends and their boat were background extras in Speed 2. They were paid to hang out on their own boat in the Caribbean for something like six weeks, and they're a tiny little dot in one shot.
Chris Reeve was so proud that he got a screenwriting credit for Supes 4. Margot Kidder talked about how he was a bit insufferable about it. When that movie tanked he was sang a different tune.
I walked out on Dark Fate. As far as I’m concerned, there’s only two Terminator movies: 1 and 2
True
First 10 minutes of 3 count just because of Kristianna Loken...just saying.
The Next Karate Kid was also the debut of Hilary Swank. The only redeeming factor about that movie was seeing Pat Morita reprising his role as Mr Miyagi. Then in 2010 we would get a reboot movie starring Jaden Smith which was ironically called The Karate Kid. Except it's not Karate, it's Kung Fu.
Wasn't the franchise already destroyed before Flashpoint?
by which movie
@@jimbo9208the entire dceu
@@Monke_073 Even Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Birds of Prey, Shazam, Zack Snyder's Justice League, James Gunn The Suicide Squad, & Blue Beetle?
@@waheedabdullah6371 the ones that tarnished it was Batman vs Superman 2016 suicide squad, and the josstice league
DCEU was pretty much destroyed since Batman vs Superman
The new terminator did have a really cool bad guy, and he spoke.
You guys are just clearly basing it off when it was first released.
As of now:
Jaws the revenge made $51 million on a $23 million budget.
Superman 4 made $30 million on a $17 million budget.
The next karate kid made $15 million on a $12 million budget
Speed two made $164 million on a $160 million budget
Dial of Destiny made $383 million on a $294 million budget.
Birds of prey made $200 million on a $84 million budget
Black Adam made $393 million on a $195 million budget
Secrets of Dumbledore made $400 million on a $200 million budget
Vegas vacation made $36 million on a $25 million budget
Dark Phoenix made $250 million on a $200 million budget
Wrath of Khan $79 million on a $11 million budget
Fantastic four 2015 made $167 million on a $120 million budget.
Terminator dark fate made $261 million on a $185 million budget
The mummy made $400 million on a $125 million budget
Batman and Robin made $238 million on a $125 million budget
You don't seem to realize that post-production and promotional costs are not included in those budget numbers.
Vegas Vacation is so underrated. It was my introduction to the franchise. Christmas Vacation is the best, but Vegas deserves more credit.
Vegas vacation is awesome man. I don’t know why it would be on here
No idea why they keep remaking the Fantastic Four (and making it progressively worse each time.)
I'd say Superman 3 was where that series took a landslide. 4 just showed there was no hope.
RIP Richard Pryor
They should have used brainiac change everything for the plot and start over. Same thing with Superman 4 and use bizarro instead of nuclear man start over with the plot.
Since 2000, 90% of Hollywood movies are either bad sequels or bad reboots. That's why I don't go to theater much.
“Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins” tanked so hard, the franchise died before it began.
Ikr, and I love Remo Williams
So did Disney’s John Carter movie.
The issue with the Terminator franchise, is that we want a movie about the war. Not just little flashbacks or visions, a full on 2 hours of machines vs the resistance. But they won't do that.🤷♂️
Salvation is the closest we have to a war movie. I like the movie but it could be better. If they make a war film the protagonist could be Kyle Reese or John Connor. Kyle Reese grew up after judgment day. John Connor is the one who taught the resistance to fight and destroy these machines. who should be the focus? John or Kyle.
that would be boring
also the stories are about paradoxes
Superman IV was a bad movie, but it's kind of funny that the actor who played Lex Luthor's nephew eventually went on to do an amazing portrayal of Lex himself.
Oh sure, the next Karate Kid may have stopped any future movies, but we all know that if Hillary Swank's character showed up in the final season of Cobra Kai, lots of people will be cheering...
Batman and Robin got names right and evaded Razzie , Catwoman didn't
Jaws, the revenge didn't bomb: for a budget of $20 million, the movie generated $51 million. If this movie destroyed the franchise, this is because this is so bad.
You should have put "Son of the Mask" in number one.
In fact, "Dial of destiny" is, for me, an excellent movie.
You can't keep using COVID as an excuse. Some of those movies just weren't good.
Bruh. It was a global plague. It ain’t an excuse, it’s just what happened.
Recasting Henry Cavill as Superman was a monumental mistake. Then the alleged replacement is just 🙄😒🧐🤨. Casting is NOT the problem DC!
Honarble mention: Percy Jackson movies
I think the DCU movies are mostly good and the Matrix Resurrection was good too.
But sometimes in DCU case introducing gags in superhero movies can be too much, and take the threat away from the moment.
Yeah, I think a lot of the DC movies are good as well. Though, I was swayed out of seeing Blue Beetle bc people on Facebook wouldn’t shut up about it bombing.
I went to see FLASH because of Andy Muschietti
I love when horror directors make superhero movies
And despite everything that caused the movie to bomb, I had a really good time watching it
I'm also very exciting to see Muschietti's take on BRAVE AND THE BOLD
The new DCU universe with Pedo Gunn will be a disaster at the box office. Just wait for the worst to come.
It wasn’t the best movie ever but seems like it compared the marvels or whatever it’s called. Couldn’t pay me to watch that crap 💩🚽
The only reason I watched Flash on HBO Max was 15 mins of the OG Micheal Keaton
I watched that garbage for Michael Keaton.
Still irritated that they spent all those films building up Essex so we could finally get Mr. Sinister just to do Phoenix AGAIN and nuke everything.
I think some of the movies mentioned here performed badly in the box office because, the studio or distributor didn't really spend time and money on the marketing.
"The Police Academy movies were never considered high art or high comedy..."
Of course not, because they were always gonna be live-action Looney Tunes for adults.
as for matrix 4 ... the wachowski's were forced into making the 4th due to a technicality in the copyright red tape ... they said in multiple interviews that they were done after 3 -- the story they wanted to tell was done
The Last Airbender movie should have also been on here. Taking a great show and turning it into... that, is criminal
I'd add Dragonball Evolution.
I don't know. My feeling is that you can't call it a franchise if it was the first or second movie in the "franchise," even if there were plans to make more movies. I just think that a franchise has to be at least 3 movies long.
TBF, Space Jam: A New Legacy became the most controversial movie of the 21st century by cancellations even re-animating Lola Bunny in a different thing also LeBron James got his Razzie Award and people still disliking him now. Warner Bros, made WORST decisions too many and hopefully, it needs to be stopped. Also it failed on the box office during the CONVID-19 incident, too.
I unapologetically loved Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
I did too, it was the perfect middle movie in the franchise. Better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Temple of Doom but not as good as Raiders and Last Crusade.
I really liked it as well
Me too I thought the movie was brilliant and it was nice seeing Harrison Ford again. The critics are dumb
@@samuelzev4076 critics actually liked it. The audience not so much..
@@Denis-89 says the 88% audience score
You said it all, about halfway though - just because a movie made money doesn't mean it needs a sequel. Until the 80s, original movies were made, without endless sequels.
I thought THE MUMMY was okay, but it should’ve been a LOT better and I was looking forward to the Dark Universe back then, especially with one of my gods Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man.
Also, I love the FANTASTIC BEASTS trilogy and wished that the five-movie plan continued even without Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald.
The only ones I've seen are, Sin City, A Dame To Kill For, The Matrix Resurrections, Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny, The DCEU films mentioned minus Shazam: Fury Of The Gods, Looney Tunes Back In Action, Fantastic Four, Dark Phoenix, Son Of The Mask Terminator: Dark Fate and Batman & Robin.
I do think however a bomb doesn't always necessarily mean that it's going to be a bad film. Looney Tunes: Back In Action I don't think it's a bad film the rest yes i agree with that.
To be fair, Fox was losing the X-men to Disney. It was horrendous for sure, but it'll be rebooted ( I hate that term), and the franchise will rise from the ashes once again.
Seeing wht Disney is doing with marvel movies recently I doubt the new xmen will be any good
I don't know if it's fair to blame Black Adam for the fall of the DCEU. 1. Most of their movies in the whole thing were at best average, with a few stand outs. And 2. James Gunn was always going to axe it, that's why he was brought on.
Killing John Connor and shoving a gender swapped new hope sunk Dark Fate
yep
Jurassic World: Dominion was also a franchise killer. That should have been in there instead of Nemesis, because everyone involved AGREED it would be the last Star Trek movie with long-time members as leads.\
No no, dark fate was terrible. They killed off the most important character in the entire series for no good reason
@Comicbookfanboy31 no it was terrible. They just did it to try and justify send their usual hollywood messaging. People weren't happy with it so the movie flopped
It's amazing how many legacy characters and actors you can get to come back just to make a shit movie to kill the franchise
The movie didn’t flop though.Thanks to the overseas markets, the movie made back more than its budget. Sarah was always more important to me than John. She was always my favorite and I was so happy that Linda Hamilton came back.
@@jamiethal1319 the movie still lost money. The box office doesn't cover the advertising or theater cost.
@jamiethal1319 it's why typically u hear a movie needs to make double it's budget in order to be successful
None. I think Hollywood needs to work on creating better stories. Not franchises. If it happens, it's because of having a good story.
I thought the flash movie was very good.
I was a flash fan back in the day.
To me the flash film had all of the flavor and texture of the infantino stories.
The terminator dark fate was good too.
I am always suspicious when a film is popular with the hoi polloi.
I am equally suspicious when a film is deemed a flop before it's released.
I always hated flash and flash fanboys.
Always a pleasure when flash is taken down or it's movie.
Holy crap I forgot about Superman being able to rebuild things with his eyelazers. Screw Rumsfield and Halliburton. When it comes to rebuilding cities after war I go with the Superman 4 approach
Terminator: Dark Fate would've been a fine movie IF it would've been Grace going back in time to protect Sarah (Linda Hamilton's) and finding a hardened person instead of trying to push new "commander of the rebellion" on us. The Terminator movies and series was always Sarah's story...in my humble opinion but they kept screwing it up by focusing on John.
Well that's stupid the whole point is John Connor is the leader of the resistance then they kill him off in this utter shite movie of female empowerment. Sarah Connor was always a powerful woman.
John Connor is supposed to be the leader of the human Resistance in the future war, is that a problem?
@@tedgruver7618 I know that's what I said.
I am so upset about the divergent film series. They messed the whole thing up and it was worse they never finished it.
Im surprised star wars rise of Skywalker not on here
I think it's because it was meant to be the ending of the trilogy and thus not a direct continuation of the franchise.
It wasn’t a box office bomb, that’s why.
@@cottoncandydaydream Han Solo, on the other hand
When Steve Guttenberg says "Sorry guys, I have other things to do." is when you question whether the project is worth even looking at.
I didn't even know their was a forth matrix lol
Warner Brothers might of put fantastic beasts on hold butHBO is moving forward with a confirmed Harry Potter series
I'm surprised Halloween Ends didn't make this list. I liked the movie, but I know a lot of Halloween fans didn't.
It didn't bomb though
There was Jaws 3-D. Research, people.
What do you think would have made the the Flash movie more like and possibly the most popular movie in the DCEU? Is James Gunn going to reboot that movie in his new DC projects in the DCU with Lucas Till or Will Poulter playing the Flash?
If it was animated. Unless it is Batman and on rare occasion Superman, DC live action movies are awful. Their animated movies however are top notch.
@@jakushkadarkstalker6278Warner Bros' worst mistake was rushing BvS before Man of Steel got a proper sequel.
That's what screwed them over more than anything else.
@@eec589 It really would have made no difference. BvS was absolutely terrible. The directing, the writing, the fact like it felt like it tried to be a dozen different movies all at once.
@@jakushkadarkstalker6278 Precisely, that’s the point.
Why do I care. Never liked that roadrunner wannabe.
Bro Vegas Vacation doesn't belong on this lost, that's a classic! Honestly my favorite of the Griswold movies.
Christmas Vacation 2 was DQ'ed from this list because it's a TV movie.
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny is the final Indy film, and Disney has zero plans for any spin offs from this franchise, so, it didn't kill this franchise, at all, and you need to recheck your information.

Not gonna lie.
Right here, I thought he said "SH*Twreck" insted of "Shipwreck".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Sometimes you can't win them all
True
@@chasehedges6775 Its something we gotta deal with
Good on you for bringing up Star Trek: Nemesis. They did a whole third season of Star Trek: Picard to restore the absolute farrago of that abysmal movie.
The failure of Back in Action killed the chances of a Tony Hawk version of Space Jam.
If there’s a top ten list of youtube channels that has gotten worse over the years, WatchMojo would be number 1.
What about Matthew Santoro? He was slapped by a woman. Isn’t it satisfying when us females are the top alphas of genders?
Nah. Sssniperwolf takes the cake on that list 😂
And now we wait for Aquaman 2 to join in now that they won't replace Amber Heard
And Willem Defoe won’t be returning. (Scoff) Forget about it then! I’m definitely not seeing it!
I Highly Disagree With Some Of These Movies, They Didn't Destroy Any Franchise Especially Sin City 2, Both Movies Are Exceptional! It's A Shame We Haven't Seen The 3rd One.
