Star Wars Disappointment after disappointment. I can count the number of good Star War movies on one hand ... after clearing a garbage disposal while it is running. Disney will continue to milk this corpse of every possible dollar, but after The Last Jedi, this series is dead to me. I have zero interest in Solo or any further Episodes.
Alien I really thought Ridley Scott would be able to turn this franchise around, but Prometheus was so god-awful that I have had zero interest in seeing Covenant.
Terminator Hmmm, I’m seeing a trend here. All these series started out real strong with a pair of great movies ... over 30 friggin’ years ago! Since then they have all been ruined by decades of crap. I wash my hands of them! ... which sucks, since I’m big on sci-fi.
On the flip-side, the movie franchises that have managed to maintain a high level of quality over an extended period of time are the Harry Potter series and the MCU. They appear to be the exception to the rule.

I would have said Terminator - but who knows, maybe James Cameron and the Deadpool director will save it wit a fresh timeline.
Star Wars - has depressed me to no end with the Last Jedi, Ill see what Abrams can do with ep 9 though
Indiana Jones - I guess its possioble that without George Lucas interfering that the next one could be ok.. but I doubt it

I won't lose sleep if I never see another installment of Terminator, Alien, Predator, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, etc.

I did see the last Terminator in a cinema but mainly that was to see the FX Arnie work.
I dont have an interest in the one being planned or was planned.
I just dont care.
Same with Alien and Star Wars. And Star Trek.
And Predator.
They can all fuck off as far as I am concerned.

None for me. I like having at least another chance for another movie if the last was bad/disappointing.

Star Wars After The Last Jedi, this series is dead to me. I have zero interest in Solo or any further Episodes. Same here. |

James Bond. I honestly haven't liked them since the Brosnan years.

It's time for some new franchises. Watching sequels to movies 40 years old makes it seem like It's all been done and there are no new ideas left.
That said, the Jurassic Park movies have yet to disappoint me, and looking forward to Friday!

I'm surprised no one has come up with a Presidential series and have films made (not pure documentaries) about the lives of every President starting with George Washington. Granted, a film about Millard Fillmore might not be that exciting but you never know. LOL
I agree though that Star Wars is like a black sheep member of the family that you finally wash your hands of. I'm at that point. No more favors, no more bailing out of jail for a DWI at 3:30 A.M. in the morning.

I think with the exception of the MCU, I don't really follow any more installments of long running series.

Alien I agree with. Terminator I'm holding out the slightest of hopes 6 will be good based on increased involvement from Cameron, but I'm wary about the director. Seems like a dudebro, and Deadpool isn't exactly the tone or style I'd go to for a Terminator movie.

James Bond. I honestly haven't liked them since the Brosnan years.
I would definitely disagree here. Craig has some of the very best Bond movies (in fact, my #1/2 and #4 favorite of them all) where as there is not a single Brosnan Bond movie I like at this point in time.
all of the other Bond actors have at least one Bond movie I like outside of Brosnan. I used to consider Brosnan's Bond movies among the best but they are all average at best for me as of viewings in Dec 2014/Jan 2015. basically GE = 5/10, DaD = 5/10, the other two I could not finish due to boredom(i.e. 2/10).
so while I like 14 out of the 25 Bond movies there are only seven among My Favorite Movies (i.e. my top 187 movies which is everything I gave a 7/10 or higher) in general which are...
1.Skyfall (2012) - 9/10
2.Casino Royale (2006)
3.Goldfinger (1964) - 7.5-8/10
4.Spectre (2015)
5.From Russia with Love (1963) - 7-7.5/10
6.Licence to Kill (1989) - 7/10
7.Dr. No (1962)
HM: The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) - 6-6.5/10 (within my Top 236 movies)
but basically... the James Bond series is easily my #1 series that's still going today as it's pretty safe for me to say nothing else beats it given there is seven movies I give a 7/10 or higher.
