Hey everyone! We noticed a small slip in the VO where 'Tony' was said instead of 'Tommy Oliver.' Thanks for catching that, and we appreciate your understanding! #RIPJDF 💚
I'm sad that The A-Team didn't get any sequels. I didn't even know that it was originally an 80s show and this movie was so much fun it still makes me want to watch the show. For me that's still a good remake. It adds something knew to the franchise without taking anything away from the original, and even encouraging watching them back and forth.
I like it when Hollywood Executives are like "Let's take a popular franchise and make an adaptation that's NOTHING like the source material. Because we know exactly what people want to see!" And it fails miserably EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
You can probably argue there are adapations of popular source materials who don't really translate into proper representations of what they came from that still did well, but at least those still had at least ELEMENTS people could generally get into in some form. Like as bad as some of the Paramount Michael Bay Transformers movies could get there's a reason that five of them were made from Bay and there are still related spin off fare coming out trying to capitalize on that being made now.
Despite being a flop in the U.S , Van Helsing gained a huge popularity and stong appreciation of an audience in Ukraine and in EasternEurope . I was a kid when i watched it in cinema . I’ve definitely enjoyed it.
Interesting how certain movies find a strong following in different regions! Van Helsing definitely has that classic adventure vibe. Do you think it’s the blend of action and mythology that made it popular in Eastern Europe?
@@WatchMojo Maybe as well . In Ukrain , in my childhood, very early 2000-s . Mummy 1 and 2 were cult classics as well .Everybody loved them . By the way they were made by the same director .
I only purchase movies that I want and like, Van Helsing is one of them. Great Movie, despite what the Critics say. The Critics say awful things about great movies, but praise the rotten movies. Go get a Real Job.
Power rangers deserved so much better, It wasn't a revolutionary piece of filmmaking. But it was a fantastic adaptation that deserved a sequel. I especially liked how we saw the effects of the morhpers the outside the use of the suits with the super strength and agility.
The only thing I will say that was good about Dragonball: Evolution was that it made Akira Toriyama come out of retirement because they ignored everything he told them, changed stuff he put in, and basically kicked him out of the writing room.
@@Thurgosh_OGIt’s a generic cliche film on it own. Dragon Ball is not 100% original but many of its ideas were more original than Dragon Ball Evolution.
Top 20 Authors who hated the movie adaptation: -Stephen King (The Shining) -Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Evolution) -Ken Kesey (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest)
@@jackmanly109yeah, I remember he said when the movies were coming to Disney+ and he said they should show blank black screens for the runtime because they're better than the movies.
I believe Power Rangers' failure to barely make a profit is because it was going up against Logan, Beauty and the Beast, and Kong Skull Island. And all those movies came out before Power Rangers. I really wanted to see a new design for Lord Zedd.
@@reybat4969 I didn't think it was bad. I mean if they had used the tv suits I think I would've hated it. Bc that's not a movie suit. It's a cosplay suit at the most. The movie suits were better than mid, but not by much
Me too! And people of the time couldn’t understand the story they were trying to create! Although I do think Mortal Engines would have been better if it was broken down into a mini HBO series or another channel/streaming service, possibly same with John Carter. They were all just ahead of their time
I knew Mortal Engines was going to lose money when I saw the commercial on tv. It looked like it had a big budget, but I didn't recognize the stars of the film.
The second book was a fantastic read but I think it would have made for a terrible movie. But yeah, the movie version of Ender's Game sucked warm beer through a crazy straw.
@@patrickdare5356It was a decent movie, definitely not the best though. But that does tell us that not all books from different genres would do good as a movie
One that is a guilty pleasure for me would be the league of extraordinary gentlemen. The notion of combining a bunch of the worlds, most famous literary characters in one story has amazing potential. Definitely franchise I would not be opposed to getting rebooted.
Yeah it does. And I believe that there is another story that has even more potential. A story where characters from every single franchise (with a few exceptions) came to our world aka the real world. It will a crossover media franchise. What do you think
Except for Madame Web, Dragonball, and FF, the rest are either guilty pleasures, multiple watches, or just flat-out awesome. Some people just want to watch something fun, not Academy Award winners, which are usually well-acted but mostly boring.
John Carter was not uninspired, it was misunderstood and ahead of it’s time! I will stand by that till I’m dead. I loved it and it got a bad reputation for no real reason.
If I recall correctly, the film’s issues came from poor marketing, confusing story, and mixed reviews from critics. It didn’t help that, despite the source material predating other franchises, people didn’t like how similar it was to the likes of Star Wars and Avatar. It’s possible that if they did something like they did with Dune (2021), the franchise may have survived.
I thought for sure the DCEU could’ve been on this list. Black Adam seemed like the start of a new awesome adventure into the franchise, but instead WB got in the way, removed Henry Cavill from the franchise, and release 3 painfully bland DC movies without having the universe end properly. Now it’s up to James Gunn to try and make a DC cinematic universe the right way
People knock on the DCEU all the time, but if you compare their first several films to the first several MCU films, they actually outperformed the MCU. The problem was that Marvel absolutely stuck the landing with Avengers and spent the next decade mostly capitalizing on the momentum, whereas Warner dropped the ball repeatedly with Justice League and mostly failed repeatedly after that
I like Speed Racer. It's not the greatest movie ever made, duh, but it doesn't deserve the hate. Its fun, it's weird, and the fact it acts like it's more serious than it knows it really is makes it silly in a good way
For real, I even search it up sometimes when I'm bored ASF to look at the bad views and shit. THATS how bad it flopped 😂, it flopped so bad I read the trash views to entertain myself
Got to John Carter, listened to comments, turned video off. John Carter's failure to get sequels has nothing to do with the quality of the movie as anyone who has watched generally enjoyed it. But Disney could not be bothered to push it, so few watched. Ah well, blame Disney again.
Just cause people e joed it doesn't mean it was a good movie too huge different topics. Stop acting like that movie was anything but a disappoint and all over the place trying to be top many things at once. Can it be done better now yes but again let's also be real and not just talk from a fan point
Van Helsing knew exactly what it was. Absolutely dumb fun as Richard Roxburgh's portrayal of Dracula clearly indicated. The character designs, gothic vibe and host of various iconic universal monsters was just a wonderfully potent mix that kept me entertained. Also, wolverine becoming a werewolf? Who else could have done it better? Side note: The "whitewashing" criticisms of Prince of Persia? Where was that when they blackwashed The Little Mermaid recently?
Come on now.....they have been "white washing" the shit out of films way before Disney started getting political. Ghost in a Shell, Gods of Egypt....Prince of Persia....and so many more.

Anyway, excellent video, and may you have a very blessed day today.🙏
@@WatchMojo Here's my insight, and thoughts. Do more videos like this, stay away from woke politics, or better yet, politics in general. The woke garbage and slant to a large portion of your videos is why i unsubbed, but if you toss that aside, and stick to things like this or other entertainment items, then i would consider returning instead of just watching your vids on super rare occasions.
20: Mortal Engines (great movie) 19: Battle: Los Angeles (fairly shallow, I do like aliens but this is a poor film) 18: Madame Web (had a lot of good ideas that weren’t seen through, it’s issues aren’t what is mentioned here… except the Spider-Women) 17: The A-Team (not bad, just missing some magic) 16: Speed Racer (fantastic film) 15: I Am Number Four (not as bad as it seems, but not good) 14: Van Helsing (could have been more fun but it’s pretty trite) 13: Prince of Persia (great cast and a terrible film, poorly constructed script and direction) 12: Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (great film) 11: The Lone Ranger (blah film with wrong casting and I don’t mean Johnny Depp) 10: The Golden Compass (good film, should have been great) 9: Power Rangers (meh, not as bad as it could have been but still not good) 8: Aragon (better than it’s thought of but not great) 7: John Carter (great film) 6: Warcraft (good ideas and actors that didn’t come together… close though) 5: Dragonball: Evolution (hard to watch, not much else to say) 4: Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds tried but failed) 3: Fantastic Four (doomed film… no pun intended) 2: The Last Airbender (it didn’t work, it’s not good, but I thought it was a valid effort) 1: Dark Universe (The Mummy … it didn’t work but it could have been cool) This list is accurate though the comments are not, not to me at least.
You know that WM doesn't give a damn about accuracy. They just give a copy to a voice actor who most likely doesn't know what they're supposed to be talking about.
One of these is much more easily explained. *_The Golden Compass_* was a lame attempt at adapting a trilogy that was deliberately written as "an atheist's _Narnia_ or _Lord of The Rings_ . A series of novels are much easier to get as bestseller status than to make a movie a hit.. especially when you have to butcher it so bad all of the ideology is lost in the translation.. or rendered as childish as it always was.
BATTLE LOS ANGELES was a terrible movie! They relied on soo much SHAKY CAM that I don't even remember what the aliens looked like! I was soo disappointed 😢
i think Van Helsing, lone ranger, A-Team, and John Carter are actually not bad movies, too bad they didn't continue. i think game adaptions are not respected. assassin's creed is a good example. they should give those books another chance, and power rangers should also be given another chance. Avatar was made to be an animation show, somethings are just not made for the big cinema.
how could you forget Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets!! I was so hoping that would be a good film to start a series/franchise and it flopped so hard 🥲
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets had so much potential and looked promising for a franchise. It’s tough when a film you’re excited about doesn’t live up to expectations. What did you think was missing from it?
Say what you want about Justin Chatwin’s portrayal of Goku, but at least the guy took the liberty to read the entire manga and watched the entire anime…… the director and producers are to blame. Ohhh, and he also even apologized to Toriyama, after the latter passed away earlier this year.
Power Rangers should have gotten a sequel. If we got that 2nd movie it would have retroactivity made the first one better. ( also, the movie would’ve been 10% better if they would’ve replaced Krispy Kreme with Ernie’s juice bar, I will die on this hill )
The only reason Speed Racer failed was because it was released around the same time as other popular movies. Therefore, it was overshadowed. If they had released it later in 2008 or at least a couple years later, then maybe it would’ve turned out okay. And although I’ve never seen The Last Airbender movie (not that I plan to anyway), I can imagine all the Avatar fans saying in unison “There is no The Last Airbender movie in Ba Sing Se”.
John Carter I wished they did a sequel it was so good, the golden compass, prince of Persia, and the Lone Ranger. As a bonus I’ll put Eragon. All definitely deserved sequels
The reason why the A Tean flipped was because it opened the same weekend that the 2010 world cup began. If it held back for another weekend it would have been a success. You also had too many characters for the children viewers to follow. So if it held back a weekend and cut down on the characters it would have been a great success
I personally think that Dragon Ball has potential to work as a modern live-action adaptation as long as it remains faithful to the source material instead of making something that barely resembles Dragon Ball. It worked for Pokemon Detective Pikachu from 2019 and the live action One Piece series on Netflix. Of course, not everything NEEDS to be adapted into live-action, but a Dragon Ball live action adaptation could work if given to the right hands.
There is always the fan films on TH-cam. And MAN are they incredible. You can tell they were made by fans who actually cared. While they're obviously fan-made it doesn't distract you from the fact that they capture the spirit of Dragon Ball. Light of Hope and The Fall of Men are the closest to ever getting Dragon Ball in live-action right.
And yet, Van Helsing wasn't a failure, they just didn't follow through because it didn't make enough in the US, despite the film going well into profit (over $300m box office, from $120m production, plus DVD sales etc. later) from showings everywhere else. No.1 In the UK for example.
It can work if done right. Unfortunately most of the directors and screenwriters know jackshit about the material they are trying to adapt and are just trying to make a quick buck
I saw The Green Lantern at Disneyland Theater with my mom and uncle. Didn’t like it that much but I laughed my butt off in DeadPool when Ryan Reynolds made fun of it
I firmly believe the guy who said he made it from a love of the franchise, instead intended it as a character assassination. because he hates it. I don't see how someone who hates it could have made it much worse.
Dude, John Carter was a good movie, but Disney didn’t market the movie because they were acquiring Lucasfilm, which would be a possible competing franchise, so tanked it. The absolute vitriol was unnecessary in the description.
It’s definitely a bummer when a movie you enjoy doesn’t get a sequel. The Power Rangers movie had a lot of potential, and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see where it could go next. What did you like most about it?
Honourable mentions: Super Mario Bros 1993, Thunderbirds and Cat in the Hat Mario: A sequel may not have been confirmed, but there was a cliffhanger end implying it. After it tanked though, Nintendo took away rights for Mario to have a movie until the Illumination movie happened. Thunderbirds: A line in the movie implies a sequel was planned ("See you soon, Jeff.") The film bombed at the box office and Gerry Anderson hated it, so a sequel never happened. Cat in the Hat: Sequel was planned, but after seeing the film, Dr Seuss' widow banned anymore live action movies based on her late husband's work
Double Dragon (1994) Like This Movie Alot back then but It was the 2nd Live Action video game movie after Super Mario Bros. (1993) So that means It was going to get trampled In the box office Mortal Kombat (1995) Tomb Raider (2001) & Resident Evil (2002) were lucky to get sequels
As a Native American, and a Comanche, i can confidently say "no one had a problem with Johnny Depp playing Tonto over here", that was others from over there
Funny to see that most of these movie franchises were from around 2010. The Mummy from 2017 was probably one of the worst, if not, the worst movie that I ever saw in my life. The worst part is that I saw it in the cinema, and I saw the whole damn thing, hoping every minute that it would get better, but it just never did.
Nothing will ever top Pirates of the Carribean but I would've loved to see a second and third Lone Ranger film. I liked the first and I feel like Depp was born to play Tonto. Also tbh I did think Depp was part native
I definitely disagree about “Whitewashing» term regarding Prince of Persia . Cause authentic Persians were mostly white skinned and ginger haired. Slavic people were the iranian wing as well but moved further to Eastern Europe
The idea of a cinematic universe about Universal monsters sounds awesome. So I think *Dark Universe* is the worst cinematic Universe being followed by the DCEU.
While G.I. Joe got 3 movies I consider it a failed franchise. Because for one two out of the three movies sucked. For two the storylines were very inconsistent. For three even the first movie was subpar at best. And for four they got too far away from G.I. Joe being A Real American Hero and turned them instead into A Real Globalist Hero. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

First
Not go lie I love the content but this list kinda ass, a lot of these movies did kinda good.
Props to you Watchmojo to aknowledge the mistake.
Dont mess with Power Rangers fans! (We still love ya.)
I thought Battle:Los Angeles was a great film 🎥.
I'm sad that The A-Team didn't get any sequels. I didn't even know that it was originally an 80s show and this movie was so much fun it still makes me want to watch the show. For me that's still a good remake. It adds something knew to the franchise without taking anything away from the original, and even encouraging watching them back and forth.

And it fails miserably EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I love it when they mean "they can do it better than source material", then “somehow” the movie bombs (if it's an historical bomb, the better, he-he)
And then blame the fans for the issue
You can probably argue there are adapations of popular source materials who don't really translate into proper representations of what they came from that still did well, but at least those still had at least ELEMENTS people could generally get into in some form. Like as bad as some of the Paramount Michael Bay Transformers movies could get there's a reason that five of them were made from Bay and there are still related spin off fare coming out trying to capitalize on that being made now.
Hahaha same! 😂 Seeves their wallets right though. 😏
To be fair sometimes it's the actors/writers/director etc. With their obvious contempt for the source material.
Van Helsing is a fantastic movie, and I will die on that hill

Putting the 2017 power rangers movie in the thumbnail next to DRAGON BALL EVOLUTION OF ALL THINGS is actually criminal

Anyway, excellent video, and may you have a very blessed day today.🙏
That’s awesome! We appreciate your suggestions and will definitely take them into consideration for future videos. Thanks for contributing!
Thank you. Also, this is the first time I've ever had someone respond back with a positive feedback.
I’m really glad to hear that! Your insights and comments are always appreciated. If you have any more thoughts or favorite films, feel free to share!
@@WatchMojo Here's my insight, and thoughts. Do more videos like this, stay away from woke politics, or better yet, politics in general. The woke garbage and slant to a large portion of your videos is why i unsubbed, but if you toss that aside, and stick to things like this or other entertainment items, then i would consider returning instead of just watching your vids on super rare occasions.
Ah yes. Tony Oliver. The lime green ranger.
Apologies for the mix-up in the video! We mistakenly referred to Tommy Oliver as Tony Oliver.
"Madame Web" is the worst!
That’s not true. It’s better than Tom Holland’s Spider-Man

@@zinniaq3020 How?
It now has competition for that deserved Worst title with Borderlands.
John Carter was a good movie. Don't know why it failed. Warcraft wasn't bad, it had amazing special effects.
You can really hear the hate in his voice when he said "Male Gender" when talking about Battle Los Angeles LOL
Thats was noticeable, yes.
Fantastic Four reboot version not awesome
I call it just "Four" as there is nothing Fantastic in it except for the end credits.
Agree
_The Lone Ranger_ was meant to be an epic western, but I only remember the final train chase, which didn’t excite me as much as it should’ve.
Let’s add Borderlands to this list
Don't be mad I never understood the Golden Compass, nor what's going on.
"Green Ranger TONY Oliver"????? Tony?? Seriously??
We can measure #5's failure as a success for the fans because that led to Battle of the Gods, Resurrection of F, and finally the Super series.
20: Mortal Engines (great movie)
19: Battle: Los Angeles (fairly shallow, I do like aliens but this is a poor film)
18: Madame Web (had a lot of good ideas that weren’t seen through, it’s issues aren’t what is mentioned here… except the Spider-Women)
17: The A-Team (not bad, just missing some magic)
16: Speed Racer (fantastic film)
15: I Am Number Four (not as bad as it seems, but not good)
14: Van Helsing (could have been more fun but it’s pretty trite)
13: Prince of Persia (great cast and a terrible film, poorly constructed script and direction)
12: Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (great film)
11: The Lone Ranger (blah film with wrong casting and I don’t mean Johnny Depp)
10: The Golden Compass (good film, should have been great)
9: Power Rangers (meh, not as bad as it could have been but still not good)
8: Aragon (better than it’s thought of but not great)
7: John Carter (great film)
6: Warcraft (good ideas and actors that didn’t come together… close though)
5: Dragonball: Evolution (hard to watch, not much else to say)
4: Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds tried but failed)
3: Fantastic Four (doomed film… no pun intended)
2: The Last Airbender (it didn’t work, it’s not good, but I thought it was a valid effort)
1: Dark Universe (The Mummy … it didn’t work but it could have been cool)
This list is accurate though the comments are not, not to me at least.
"Don't make the super suit green…or animated!" -Wade Wilson
I actually liked I Am Number 4 and was seriously hoping for a part 2 but I guess not 😢
The irony that none of the actors in the photo at 18:12 were in the room at the same time ... hilarious!
You know that WM doesn't give a damn about accuracy. They just give a copy to a voice actor who most likely doesn't know what they're supposed to be talking about.
I really dislike this voice actor and his stupid puns. I don’t mind the others but his just grinds on my nerves….mainly the puns
What are you talking about? This is a list, not a review.
One thing I hate in movies; Main Characters Dying. Léon: The Professional, 47 Ronin and Warcraft. I hate it!
One of these is much more easily explained. *_The Golden Compass_* was a lame attempt at adapting a trilogy that was deliberately written as "an atheist's _Narnia_ or _Lord of The Rings_ . A series of novels are much easier to get as bestseller status than to make a movie a hit.. especially when you have to butcher it so bad all of the ideology is lost in the translation.. or rendered as childish as it always was.
how dare y’all watchmojo added Van Helsing to this list Van Helsing is my favorite classic action film growing up
BATTLE LOS ANGELES was a terrible movie! They relied on soo much SHAKY CAM that I don't even remember what the aliens looked like! I was soo disappointed 😢
I remeber watching John Carter with my father 12 years ago. It was definitely enojayble and much better than people make it seem.
i think Van Helsing, lone ranger, A-Team, and John Carter are actually not bad movies, too bad they didn't continue.
i think game adaptions are not respected. assassin's creed is a good example.
they should give those books another chance, and power rangers should also be given another chance.
Avatar was made to be an animation show, somethings are just not made for the big cinema.
how could you forget Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets!! I was so hoping that would be a good film to start a series/franchise and it flopped so hard 🥲
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets had so much potential and looked promising for a franchise. It’s tough when a film you’re excited about doesn’t live up to expectations. What did you think was missing from it?
I actually cringed even reading the word Valerian - that’s how bad it was.
Say what you want about Justin Chatwin’s portrayal of Goku, but at least the guy took the liberty to read the entire manga and watched the entire anime…… the director and producers are to blame.
Ohhh, and he also even apologized to Toriyama, after the latter passed away earlier this year.
The Power Rangers' suits were totally asss.
Power Rangers should have gotten a sequel. If we got that 2nd movie it would have retroactivity made the first one better. ( also, the movie would’ve been 10% better if they would’ve replaced Krispy Kreme with Ernie’s juice bar, I will die on this hill )
Dragon Ball and Power Rangers deserves better
Not dragon ball, that deserves only to be anime and manga
Definitely the 2017 Power Rangers, I wanted a sequel.
Only Power Rangers BUT WHY GREEN LANTERN? GREEN LANTERN IS AN AMAZING MOVIE, Sinestro played well
@@KingBowser77766 Yeah, Green Lantern should've gotten a chance
Better funeral? Better burial? Better road to oblivion? Better what exactly?
Watching that godawful DragonBall flick and then watching Shameless is one the best pop culture shocks to be had. 😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta love it when a Hollywood film preaches against capitalism and then laments a poor box office. 😂😂
The only reason Speed Racer failed was because it was released around the same time as other popular movies. Therefore, it was overshadowed. If they had released it later in 2008 or at least a couple years later, then maybe it would’ve turned out okay. And although I’ve never seen The Last Airbender movie (not that I plan to anyway), I can imagine all the Avatar fans saying in unison “There is no The Last Airbender movie in Ba Sing Se”.
Wait where's Ninja turtles gi joe and Percy Jackson in this list.
All of those movies had sequels. This list is for movies that were so bad they never got a sequel.
John Carter I wished they did a sequel it was so good, the golden compass, prince of Persia, and the Lone Ranger. As a bonus I’ll put Eragon. All definitely deserved sequels
Rebel Moon and Army of the Dead should be on this list.
Thank God, Super Mario Bros Movie from 1993 Didn't appeared, I Enjoyed it but 2023 Mario Movie Is Better than The 1993 one
cry more
Unfortunately those two did spawn sequels. I dunno why anyone let's Snyder direct anything.
He is good😅@@anthonyfisher-7090
The reason why the A Tean flipped was because it opened the same weekend that the 2010 world cup began. If it held back for another weekend it would have been a success. You also had too many characters for the children viewers to follow. So if it held back a weekend and cut down on the characters it would have been a great success
I personally think that Dragon Ball has potential to work as a modern live-action adaptation as long as it remains faithful to the source material instead of making something that barely resembles Dragon Ball. It worked for Pokemon Detective Pikachu from 2019 and the live action One Piece series on Netflix. Of course, not everything NEEDS to be adapted into live-action, but a Dragon Ball live action adaptation could work if given to the right hands.
There is always the fan films on TH-cam. And MAN are they incredible. You can tell they were made by fans who actually cared. While they're obviously fan-made it doesn't distract you from the fact that they capture the spirit of Dragon Ball. Light of Hope and The Fall of Men are the closest to ever getting Dragon Ball in live-action right.
Failed to mention that The Golden Compass has a bad cliffhanger. I was pretty disappointed when I was a kid
I honestly never watched Twilight… but even I knew that the franchise was never the greatest!
I still don't understand why Van Heilsing didn't work... It was seriously nice and really worth story taken forward
Finally! Top 20 Failed Movie Franchises Of All Time. Thank You WatchMojo!
🏆🥇
@@BlackHatCinephile why do you spam
And yet, Van Helsing wasn't a failure, they just didn't follow through because it didn't make enough in the US, despite the film going well into profit (over $300m box office, from $120m production, plus DVD sales etc. later) from showings everywhere else. No.1 In the UK for example.
I am number 4, Eragon & Prince of Persia all deserved sequels
With respect to anime adaptations to live action, just don't.
It can work if done right. Unfortunately most of the directors and screenwriters know jackshit about the material they are trying to adapt and are just trying to make a quick buck
That's why I'm glad they still didn't do AKIRA.
Rurouni Kenshin says otherwise.
Netflix's One Piece, anyone?
I saw The Green Lantern at Disneyland Theater with my mom and uncle. Didn’t like it that much but I laughed my butt off in DeadPool when Ryan Reynolds made fun of it
Who the hell is Tony Oliver???
green ranger
The original green ranger turn white ranger in the original series from 1995
@@zinniaq3020 I’m aware, I’m making fun of the fact the narrator called him Tony instead of Tommy
@@virusbustermack I’m so sorry. That flew over my head
I firmly believe the guy who said he made it from a love of the franchise, instead intended it as a character assassination. because he hates it. I don't see how someone who hates it could have made it much worse.
You Forgot The 2010 film Tekken.
Dude, John Carter was a good movie, but Disney didn’t market the movie because they were acquiring Lucasfilm, which would be a possible competing franchise, so tanked it. The absolute vitriol was unnecessary in the description.
That's sad, I really liked the Power Rangers movie. It was awesome and it deserved a sequel.
It’s definitely a bummer when a movie you enjoy doesn’t get a sequel. The Power Rangers movie had a lot of potential, and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see where it could go next. What did you like most about it?
As a man, i gotta say that battle los angeles trying to manipulate the male audience totally worked. That movie is awesome.
For the record, the book series that I Am Number Four, is absolutely amazing. Movie sucked but the books are so so so good!
Power Rangers was ruined bc they included Krispy Kreme. Props for using the MMPR Movie theme song as a cameo
This is why Hollywood needs to stop with sequel baitings and post-credit scenes
They're no longer worth it
It should be like one and done movies
Honourable mentions: Super Mario Bros 1993, Thunderbirds and Cat in the Hat
Mario: A sequel may not have been confirmed, but there was a cliffhanger end implying it. After it tanked though, Nintendo took away rights for Mario to have a movie until the Illumination movie happened.
Thunderbirds: A line in the movie implies a sequel was planned ("See you soon, Jeff.") The film bombed at the box office and Gerry Anderson hated it, so a sequel never happened.
Cat in the Hat: Sequel was planned, but after seeing the film, Dr Seuss' widow banned anymore live action movies based on her late husband's work
You forgot ender's game (2013) I thought it could have been more movies than just one.
The problem with adapting a book, besides the lack of fidelity to the source, is that is always better to do it as a series ratter than a movie.
Marvel needs to give up on fantastic four movies! They actually have the nerve to have another one coming out next year! Smh
putting speed racer on the list is a crime speed racer was a good movie I watched it 17 times on DVD it needs a sequel
On matter what people say van hellsing deserves a sequel
I would really recommend the TV series His Dark Materials (the reboot of The Golden Compass) starring Dafne Keen. It’s a very underrated show.
Double Dragon (1994) Like This Movie Alot back then but It was the 2nd Live Action video game movie after Super Mario Bros. (1993) So that means It was going to get trampled In the box office Mortal Kombat (1995) Tomb Raider (2001) & Resident Evil (2002) were lucky to get sequels
As a Native American, and a Comanche, i can confidently say "no one had a problem with Johnny Depp playing Tonto over here", that was others from over there
I enjoyed Battle LA..
Funny to see that most of these movie franchises were from around 2010. The Mummy from 2017 was probably one of the worst, if not, the worst movie that I ever saw in my life. The worst part is that I saw it in the cinema, and I saw the whole damn thing, hoping every minute that it would get better, but it just never did.
Its in the middle for me literally was like when it was gone get better thus can't be it
TONY Oliver?! SERIOUSLY, WM?!!!
I'm actually sad some of them never got a sequel.
Nothing will ever top Pirates of the Carribean but I would've loved to see a second and third Lone Ranger film. I liked the first and I feel like Depp was born to play Tonto. Also tbh I did think Depp was part native
Did I just hear fan favorite Green Ranger Tony Oliver?!?! It's TOMMY Oliver! TOMMY!!! YOU PUT SOME RESPECT ON THE LEGEND'S NAME!!!
I definitely disagree about “Whitewashing» term regarding Prince of Persia . Cause authentic Persians were mostly white skinned and ginger haired. Slavic people were the iranian wing as well but moved further to Eastern Europe
The idea of a cinematic universe about Universal monsters sounds awesome.
So I think *Dark Universe* is the worst cinematic Universe being followed by the DCEU.
Hope 3rd time is the charm for Fantasic Four, so excited to see Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic
It would be the fourth if you are counting the 1990s low budget FF production that never really got anywhere.
Yeah, but it’s going full MCU. I’m sorry to hear from this but female silver surfer is a baffling decision
While G.I. Joe got 3 movies I consider it a failed franchise. Because for one two out of the three movies sucked. For two the storylines were very inconsistent. For three even the first movie was subpar at best. And for four they got too far away from G.I. Joe being A Real American Hero and turned them instead into A Real Globalist Hero. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
