In no particular order, here are five franchise-based films that constantly ruin your faith in Hollywood.

Indiana Jones 4:

When Indiana Jones slowly and begrudgingly sinking into quicksand counts as an "action scene", you know you're in for an ill-fated time at the movies. So bad that it coined the term "Nuke the Fridge", Indy 4 was the kind of film you try and rationalize as you are walking out of the cinema only to deduce that you now have to murder Lucus and Spielberg. *cocks gun and walks into sunset*

Matrix Revolutions:

Now before you go mouthing off to me that I should have included Matrix Reloaded, I have my reasons. Matrix 2, at the very least, gave you something that 3 didn't: Hope. I walked out of Matrix 2 being amazed at the action and CGI. Even though I didn't quite understand the plot, it was ok because I knew that it was supposed to end with questions that were to be answered in Matrix 3. Oh how wrong I was. Matrix 3 sacrificed stylized action for mindless action and had a plotline so confusing that when it comes up in conversation today, people still ask each other what the fuck was going on?

Star Wars Episode I + II:

Dear George Lucas,

Why? You have all my money. I bought all of your films, toys, tie-in food stuffs, inflatable chairs...etc. My parent's generation even paid to see the 1997 "Special Edition Trilogy." You have every bit of money that one person could spend on a single franchise. Yeah, you got lucky with Episode III; but for every one of those there will always be a million Clone Wars animated films behind it. Please stop it because as much as us fans say we have had it, like a beaten wife who refuses to give up hope, we'll still continue to buy in to your shit. If you don't stop now this will only continue until your reputation becomes tarnished forever. Or perhaps it is already too late?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III:

As if the concept of talking turtles fighting crime wasn't hard enough to sell to movie-goers, you had to complicate things by sending them to feudal Japan to fight a British gunrunner. The only shred (pun intended) of credit I'll give this film is that Vanilla Ice was nowhere to be found.

Spiderman 3- The Crying Game:

What they did wrong:

-Too many villians.
-Underused and pointless new love interest.
-Making up a new story for the Symbiate when they had J. Jonah Jameson's son going into space at the end of the last movie, perfectly setting up in-line with the comics I might add.
-Emo Spiderman.
-Sandman?
-Spiderman doesn't disco dance!
-Mary Jane doesn't sing--let alone twice!!
-Eric Foreman as Venom.
-Venom shows up near the end and serves what purpose only to die quickly?
-Sandman? Really?
-Bad enviornment CGI.
-Crowd scenes were redundant and lame.
-Stan Lee cameo.
-SANDMAN!??!!1!

Things they did right:

-Bruce Campbell cameo.
-End Credits.
