Dark phoenix was good
Dark fate was great
Three words...... "House Party 3"!
Love dark Phoenix. Logan made me done with anything wolverine for a while, hopefully that would dead pool & wolverine movie would make me love the character again 🤞🏻.
Son of The Mask 👎
It’s amazing how many times you’ve ripped into Son of the Mask, yet it still doesn’t feel like enough.
Can u blame them xD
I actually liked that movie as a kid
I rather watch the original than an awfully bad movie. It destroys Jamie Kennedy’s career period.
Son of the Mask singlehandedly destroyed Jamie Kennedy's career.
jamie Kennedy should've known that no one can replace jim carrey
He barley had one tho. They shouldn't have given it to him in the first place
Then Tremors revived it albeit briefly
The term "career" is used loosely in this comment.
I walked out after 20 min lol
You CAN'T replace Jim Carrey. He is a genius.
I still adore the fact that Batman's "This is why Superman works alone" line in Batman And Robin singlehandedly ties the entire Batman franchise up to that point: Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman And Robin, with the only live action Superman franchise that existed back then: Superman, Superman II, Superman III, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, Supergirl, and Superman Returns. Oh and yes, I know Superman Returns came out in 2005, but it's still part of the original Christopher Reeve series even if he Brandon Ruth did replace him because Christopher Reeve died.
I unapologetically loved Vegas Vacation.
Me too!
@@ehwilliamz Chevy Chase is what's called 'an acquired taste.' One should never have to apologize for the things one loves.
That still one of my fav
Same.
My condolences
For Dark Fate: You forgot that they killed John Connor in the first five minutes
Cause he was a male character during the whole “female empowerment movie” wave why do you think Arnold is only on Dark Fate to be a punchline
@@TheNaturalPatHarris I think Arnold was the only fresh idea the movie had. A Terminator with free will, something new in the franchise. Everything else was rehashed crap.
All thanks to James Cameron
I think that if producers go out of their way to announce a cinematic universe before the first movie is even released, it's likely doomed to fail
Yes, they shoe horn so much into a story to set up sequels and spin offs that they ignore the actual story. But they never learn. Many after Iron-Man are trying to emulate Marvel forgetting that Marvel did plenty of stand alone films, with the teaser at the end linking to the previous or next film. But they don't want to be bothered building up the franchises anymore.
First rule:
"You don't tell everyone that you're making a cinematic universe."
That's why Sony's Spider-Man universe is doomed to fail
@@LeonardoKlotz Basically show don't tell
@@djlads what interesting, Universal studio was first to create cinematic universe, in 1930-th. This "dark universe" was their attempt to return to their roots.
Only Star Trek and Batman were able to return to the big screen.
No they weren't. There is no new movies from burtonverse and TNG timeline.
Yes they were. Hell Shoemakers Batman and Robin isnt technically even in the Burtonverse. And the new flash movie takes place in Michael Keatons timeline
Son of the Mask is the biggest BRUH moment I’ve ever seen in Hollywood in my opinion
This movie is absolute garbage but i still love it.
Yeah it's garbage but good garbage lol
My son loved it but he saw it when he was little and it became one of those movies you just love from your childhood like how the original Jim Carrey one was for me.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! For me, Batman & Robin was a cool movie to watch back in 1997. 🤣
I agree. I was 9 and I thought it was the coolest movie ever. I would watch it with my cousins during sleepovers 😅
I unapologetically love Batman and Robin to this day.
When I saw Batman and Robin as a child, I loved it! I loved the colors, gadgets and dialoges. I didn't need dark, depressing dark knight stuff, I loved this. Even now I hate that still people say "Bad movie" while so many people loved it. Most of them were kids, but still. To me, Batman and robin was one of my favorite movies. And I'll always say that one of the most iconic Arnold's roles is mr freeze. I Wanted to see a sequel!
You are in a small selection of people that enjoyed the film
Definitely the worst Batman movie
Thank you bruh, I agree
@benjamintuitt1320 It's not actually that small.
Then I think that you hit the nail on the head on why it bombed: it felt like a movie made for kids.
Tom Cruise did with The Mummy, what The Rock did with Black Adam. Reposition a shaky franchise around them, and then kill it with their first and only film. People forget that the "Dark Universe" (yeah I cringed when I saw that logo) plans started earlier than Cruise's movie, with Dracula Untold. When Cruise signed on, everything was shifted to make him the entry point. Maybe he equated the success of a franchise to a its progenitor star, and he wanted to pull off a Robert Downey Jr.
Luke Evans was probably pissed, but he doesn't have the star power that Tom has.
Universal Pictures should have factored that in when trying to make their "Dark Universe" series of movies.
Not to mention the bad idea of comparing it to brendan frazers remake of a different mummy film was cringy in itself
That why they are doing a Dracula untold 2 and not a sequel to Tom cruise's the mummy
James Cameron created everything when he did the first Terminator
And then ruined everything when he decided to kill John Connor in Dark Fate
My first reaction when that happened was, “look how they massacred my boy”
Yeah like seriously, it's like John Connor will now be remembered as the most cursed movie role in any genre. Whether it be Sci fi, action adventure
For me, he ruined everything when he shilled for both Genisys and Dark Fate. Convincing us it was good, whilst he went off to do his Avatar sequels.
I thought it was David S. Goyer’s idea to kill off John Connor in Dark Fate?
@@tonythehappynerd7241 It was none of them. It was Tim Miller.
Come on, i can't be the only guy on this planet who actually liked Batman & Robin. But i have to admit that i haven't seen the movie for over two decades now.
Right? I liked it too! It's certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen
There are dozens of us!!!🤣
I watched it last night
There were 2 more movies after Vegas Vacation, there was Christmas Vacation 2 from 2003 and then one simply titled Vacation from 2015
Let’s just forget about Christmas vacation 2
@@krazykubes 🤮🤮🤮
That one went direct-to-video
I really like “Vegas Vacation”! It is hilarious and it’s really not that bad!
I won I won the money the money is mine all mien I won the money !! I loved vegas vacation
Fantastic Four and Dark Fate should have been the top spot for what the people behind the movies did and that was completely ignore the source material. A black Johnny Storm? Yeah, that was the first bullet to the heart of that movie. Killing teenage John Connor? That literally ignored the first two movies
He should’ve turned black after the first time he turned into the HUMAN TORCH
You should've mentioned that there were alot more controversial things behind the scenes that plaque the release of that Fantastic Beasts film
I actually love dark Phoenix, fantastic beast secret of Dumbledore and the divergent series allegiant too.
Wow. Are those the only films you ever saw? Honestly, can't imagine liking Divergent.
6:34 Yeah, I found that to be a real shame because I was looking forward to the next one after the last one ended on a cliffhanger
Vegas Vacation is my most favorite film of the original vacation series.
Good list! I feel these movies also killed of their respective franchises before being rebooted or getting a belated sequel:
- Rocky V. I think it was the lowest grossing of the entire franchise and it would be 16 years until they released Rocky Balboa
- Robocop 3
- The Next Karate Kid
- Beverly Hills Cop III
- Speed 2: Cruise Control
- The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Weren't they planning to do more and make Fraser's son in this third one be a future lead?
I was debating to include Godfather 3, but then Godfather 4 never got past the planning phase and #3 did decent business from what I believe.
As bad as Dark Phoenix was, it wasn't that that killed the Xmen. It was Disney buying Fox. Dark Phoenix was collateral damage.
It wouldn't be good even without Disney in the equation, but it would've been better.
Anything is better than what the MCU has been giving to us lately
@@RayMcElroy50 Objectively false. There's nothing in the MCU canon that is worse than Dark Phoenix or New Mutants. Not Eternals. Not Thor 4. Not Ant-Man 3. Not She-Hulk or Ms. Marvel. Dark Phoenix and New Mutants are borderline unwatchable.
@@wyattangle objectively? You sound like a true fanboy
It was rumored that they change the whole third act, because it was too similar to Captain Marvel and by then the directors and actors probably didn't' care to come back for reshoots, since the movie was dead-end.
@@RayMcElroy50 Interesting response. Instead of disputing the content of the comment, your response is to take aim at the dramatic license of a f'kn adverb. Pretty telling, pal.
Ultimately, Dark Phoenix's 22% on RT says it all. Has the MCU put out some Phase 4 & 5 dreck? Sure. But to suggest that "anything is better than what the MCU has been giving us lately" (i.e., Black Panther 2, Guardians 3) is comparable to Dark Phoenix? Your opinion is trash.
The Eragon movie by itself wasn't half bad and was a passable movie. But if you had read the books beforehand, you would know how badly they butchered the source material. Like, I get that you have to condense book material to fit a movie's runtime but with the Eragon movie, it felt like the events took place over a few days to a week. But in the book, it took place over a couple of years. Like, Eragon trying to get to the Varden took at least a year in the book but the movie made it seem like it was just a day or two's journey on horseback. Plus, they changed up a lot with Saphira, one main detail being her wings. The book specifically noted that she had leathery/membrane wings like a bat, but they gave her feathery birdlike wings in the movie. They also sped up her growth alarmingly. In the book, it took at least two weeks before she was roughly the size of a horse. But in the movie, she flies up into the air as a hatchling, gets struck by lightning, and returns big enough to fly with two or three passengers. They left out soo much, from the travels, to key characters. Hell, they even killed off some of the villains in the movie that didn't actually get killed off until the 3rd (or maybe 4th) book.
By itself, without reading the books, the movie was just...okay. But if you were a big fan of the books, you know how badly the movie ruined any chances of their being a sequel unless they completely remake the first movie again.
I rather enjoyed the Eragon movie, but I didn't read the books. I guess Game of Thrones is kinda similar. I liked the HBO series, but I didn't read those books either. I've read enough info on line to know a great deal was changed and omitted from the books in the televised series. It's a miracle fans of the books didn't riot due to the difference between the two
@@residentrump3271 The movie by itself wasn't all that bad. It was passible entertainment. But they would have to completely remake/redo it if they every wanted to do the sequels.
Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull. The Last Crusade has the perfect ending with Indy riding off into The Sunset & they made this 4th movie all for cheap nostalgia.
And now we have a new Indiana Jones film out in a few months.
Crystal Skull was not that bad!
We saw crystal skull in theatres and was hyped for it. It just followed the same boring formula and near the end I was waiting for the movie to end. It was a major letdown and the worst movie in the franchise. I'm not expecting much from the new movie.
@@mrsinister8943 It's for a new audience! I was born in the 90s and I wasn't familiar with the character until I saw Crystal Skull at the age of 12. Yes, Crystal Skull was my first Indiana Jones film. And was good. Deal with it.
@@scottylewis8124 you were 12 so you probably liked alot of things that were crap but anyways just about everyone agrees the movie sucked so. Temple of doom is the best one in my opinion and everyone loves that one and the first movie.
Vegas Vacation is my favorite Vacation movie.
If any Vacation is on this list it should be Christmas Vacation 2.
Really M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong's terrible attempt at Avatar didn't make the list? He was planning on making at least 2 more films to adapt the whole series but the first one bombed so badly the fans of the original show brainwash themselves with "There is no live action ATLA in Ba Sing Se"
Dude, is Shyamalan really that hard to pronounce?
@@TheMrHavish It's a joke bro
lolol
Star Trek: Picard became the conclusion Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) should have been.
Yes! The third season gave the fans everything we wanted and more.
Vegas vacation was one of my favorites it shouldn’t be on this list at all 😊
Dark Phoenix was good. And had one of the best action sequences of any superhero movie. I'm sick of the slander
Regardless of hearing the bad reviews of DARK PHOENIX, I wanted to see the X-Men one last time
Because Disney is gonna reduce them into clowns
Even if I thought that last part were true, it would still be a marked improvement over the last few movies (minus Logan).
@@Xone9 but at what cost?
That movie sucked and I watched it in theaters >_
I actually liked Vegas Vacation
Can't expect EVERY film be good.
There'd be some Bad Eggs here anf there, if you know what I mean.
Fantastic Beasts destroying Harry potter? yeah right..
Son of the Mask is still being talked about today. Hit or not, it left its mark.
People forget to mention that the Batman and Robin also put Chris O'Donnell's career on ice for a good while.
his movie career is basically done
A movie you missed was the new mutants. It seemed to be a way to reboot the X-men after Dark Phoenix. It was barely a blip on the radar and bombed. It came out in 2020 so it was possibly partly a victim of bad timing. The only recognizable name from the film is Anya Taylor-Joy.
Also came out after the Disney acquisition. So, it could also share the same factor as to why the last vestiges of the DCEU have been bombing lately, disinterest in a dead movie universe. Why invest time in watching something that will have no payout? Especially with comic book movies, where it's all about the continuation of the universe.
As standalones, most are not that great... they rely on continuing to the bigger arching story.
I still wanna see that
Erm Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones was in it too
And a little thing called the pandemic, opening when some places still had various lockdowns, masking and/or social distancing requirements.
The problem with the New Mutants movie was it sucked and had VERY little to do with the comic it was named for.
Batman and Robin was the shit as a kid in the 90s.
Fans want a redo Mummy
But with B. Fraser!
I Still Fondly Remember Vegas Vacation, And It Destroyed No Franchise.
The Mummy one still hurts. I actually would've liked to see modern reimagings of the classic Universal Movie Monsters...
It's all Zenu's fault lol
They JUST made a list yesterday with son of the mask, dark fate, dark phoenix being on it. Titled worst movie sequals 😂🍿.. Damn.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that.
@@oftenseen22 that were sequels that bombed
FANTASTIC BEASTS and THE MUMMY deserved better.
I guess the thing with Fantastic Beasts is that people were at first expecting something more focused on, you know, Fantastic Beasts, the book regarding the magic animals of the Harry Potter world. They delivered an unexpected story, but I guess it did have good reception enough and some vision into other countries of the magic world, so it warranted a sequel.
Then the sequel came and it was kinda meh. The "Fantastic Beasts" name was just that, a name. It also felt less like a movie and more as a setup for upcoming movies, which forgot to be a good standalone product. Also, no Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, instead getting someone who looks like the principal of a non-magical school.
So, of course, the third movie wasn't generating enough interest and the few people who went to see it saw even less magical creatures and the plan of Grindelwald, who was basically built up as being the most dangerous Dark Wizard before Voldemort showed up, was basically tricking people into electing him president.
Even his romantic subplot with Dumbledore felt tacked on.
The third Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser should’ve been I’m on this list.
how funny AF is it that the reshoot scene on the train is the ONLY good scene in 'Dark Phoenix' 🤦
WB should have kept Tim Burton as thw director of the last two Betman movies. Imagine if we got to have his take on Scarecrow.
Jim Carey put his own special flair on the the mask NO ONE could redo it no point In even trying
Wasn't there a list, almost exactly like this, just a few days ago...?
Hollywood has already run out of ideas...a long time ago.
I checked out of the mcu after black widow because the mcu was never the same since avengers endgame and black widow was the last mcu movie that had Scarlett Johansson in it.
Moral Instruments should have been included. That movie killed a whole franchise off.
"now that Disney owns X-Men odds are this phoenix will never rise again."
Me: are we talking about the same Disney? The ones who keep making "live action" remakes of their classic shows despite audience begging them to stop already? Oh, yeah I'm sure Disney will see Dark Phoenix as being their Achilles Heel 🙄
Okay, The Mummy should've been put at #1 with Batman and Robin at #2. Batman and Robin at least killed a franchise with four movies under its belt. The Mummy is so bad it killed an entire cinematic universe before it could even get started!
I am rather surprised that not one of the F&F movies made it on the list
Where was "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace"?!?!
Warner Bros biggest mistake was firing Tim Burton after Batman Returns cause they wanted Batman to be more family Friendly!
Tell that to McDonald's as well
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 *slaps McDonald's* Bad!
@@scottylewis8124 and tell that to parents who got upset about it as well
Because you got to remember that there was a controversy in the 90's
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 penguin bit a guy's nose
I actually really liked Dark Fate lmao
2:55 Dinsey was the responsible of Dark Phoenix bombeb, they remake the movie into a disaster so Captain Marvel could make some cash
Besides the nipples on the Batsuit i will never forgive the air surfing scene chasing Freeze. And Arnold had nothing but ice puns in his dialogue 🤦♂️
I THINK WE ARE GETTING A 4TH AND FINAL FANTASTIC BEASTS MOVIE!
A Good Day to Die Hard. Wasn't a financial failure, but I hated it. They were even planning a sixth film that was going to be kind of a prequel, but they scrapped it and I'm glad they did. Apparently though, Hulu is threatening to make a Die Hard television series.
arnold literally said termintor wasnt over like last week
he said that he's done with the franchise
Star Trek: Nemesis is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Disney/Pixar’s “Happily N‘Ever After 2” would also be a dishonorable mention. To this day, the franchise is so bad that it’s not even on Disney+.
Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and Wonder Woman 1984 should top this list
TERMINATOR DESERVED ATLEAST 2 MORE MOVIES!
I personally loved Vegas vacation
I'm a bit surprised, because most of the movies mentioned here are very interesting to watch,
4:57, We can expect this
The problem with Dark Fate is it killed off John Connor only to replace him with a different female version of the same character. This franchise already had a strong female character with Linda Hamilton, and the best idea they had was "What if she had to protect a different version of herself?" They never had a good story in mind, it's just a rehash or shit we've already seen with different characters. It's the movie equivalent of a rerun.
I would of loved to see a 4th Fantastic Beasts film. Oh well.😢
Something I say to this day is from Vegas vacation. I live in the desert of California. It's regularly 110 from May to Sept. "God damn it I hate this heat! I want something better"!!!
No. 8 & 6, let's hope these Marvel superhero teams will be done justice in the MCU
Rejected? "Vegas Vacation" is awesome!
Without son of the mask. I dunno what I would roast. With such delight. I love the Nostalgia Critic episode. Ben Stein was the only recurring role from the original.
Jaws 4 the revenge should’ve been on the list
Agreed
Jacob the muggle being in Hogwarts will never sit right with me
I like vegas vacation. The damn dam tour, wayne newton, eddie's desert money stash, etc. Decent time killer
Where can I get some damn bait?
Y’all should’ve had another Mummy movie on this list 😂 “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” definitely ended that trilogy for good.
Exactly.
Especially since it didn't have The Mummy in it just an emperor and replaced Rachel weisz with mario Bello tho I do like mario Bello they should have just ended it with mummy returns since Rachel didn't want to return for the 3rd
@@user-bm3mv9cz8s agreed, and it would've been an acceptable ending.
I am surprised Superman Quest for peace is not on the list.
4K resolution o watchmojo? Wow a huge upgrade.
Just because their movies bombed, doesn’t mean they have to commit suicide.
I loooove Dark Fate!!!
I just cant get Enough of how horrendously awful Batman N Robin was on the many Levels of Bad.
Dark Fate was a good movie. People just didn’t give it a chance.
Don’t forget that Batman & Robin almost killed the superhero movie. Some studios were terrified that comic book films weren’t profitable.
Star Trek Nemesis was intended to be the end of the Next Generation franchise.
The weird thing about Jaime Kennedy is that he played that weird movie store freek in Scream, survived to be in Scream 2, did who-knows-what between Scream 2 and one of the later Tremors movie as a fat version of a fit wrestler.
I always felt like Dracula Untold should have been the first to start the Dark Universe Franchise
Crazy how much the Terminator series fell apart.
Don’t hate me but Son of The Mask got a special place in my heart hehe
Can we have a top 10 of the biggest reruns WatchMojo has done?
I THINK FANTASTIC BEASTS SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A 4TH AND FINAL FILM!
Batman and Robin is good as hell everybody hates it but it's hilarious
THE MUMMY FAILED SO HARD THAT UNIVERSAL CANCELLED THEIR DARK UNIVERSE AND WENT BACK TO OWN MAIN FRANCHISES!
You forgot the new HellBoy movie
Batman and Robin is an iconic film, even though it was awful.
