Major Films Franchises I Will Stop Seeing

Major Films Franchises I Will Stop Seeing

“Terminator”

Arnold is 70 years old now, just please stop. “I WILL NOT BE BACK”. NEVER. Well, unless he fights "The Predator vs. The Terminator"............one on one. I might check that one out.

“Jaws”

Or any facsimile of it – i.e. “MEG” which is coming out in summer 2018 with Jason Staham. Its about a behemoth size shark the size of the Space Shuttle causing havoc - NOPE, not me, not my money. Well, unless Stormy Daniels is starring in it than its another kind of predator film altogether.

“Pirates of the Caribbean”

Johnny Depp has got to move on to more substantive films – He’s a far better actor than this tired redundant bloated Disney ride turned feature film will ever be able to showcase.

“Rambo”

We have drones that fly off carriers now. Why do you need a 71-year-old muscle up man to save the world from evil with a gray toupee while wearing a blood red sweaty greasy bandana. Oh, yeah, I want to see that compelling dramatic movie with multiple twisting subplots of intrigue. I wonder how it will end? Will Rambo survive? Will there be peace on earth? Will Rambo be pardoned?

“Ocean”

You pick any number sequence I am not going. Well, unless Clooney is in it along with maybe Stormy Daniels again as his co-star where they play a married couple stuck in the wintry deep Atlantic "Ocean” on a fishing boat on one last fishing run during a once in life time devastating north eastern storm and they make love as the boat sinks. Oh, my bad. I am mixing up Clooney film plots i.e. “The Perfect Storm (y). Still not seeing any more “Ocean” movies though.

“Indiana Jones”

If you change Harrison Ford for Chris Pratt or someone younger - fresher then I will seriously reconsider. Not because of a lack of talent on Ford’s part. It’s just he’s too damn old now @ 75. Still a fan of H. Ford in anything else. If not it won't be long before we see "Coming Soon" ........."Indiana Jones and The Quest To Stay Off His Lawn", "Indiana Jones and the Quest for The Early Bird Senior Discount", "Indiana Jones and I Fallen and I Can't Get Up", Raiders of  The Last Viagra Pills" and  finally "Indiana Jones and Uh, Why Did I Come Into This Room?" 

“Die Hard”, Even Maybe Bruce Willis Altogether 

He’s seems now to always play either a cop, an old cop, a retired cop, an old retired pissed off cop, a tired old pissed off man who wanted to be a cop or a tired old pissed off retired veteran who wanted to be a cop. Feels like “I have seen him do that - done that” at least 20 times over the past 20 years. Think I am exaggerating. Check IMDB, they just announced for 2019 "Die Hard - Year One".

“Spider Man”

Does this need an explanation at all? – I will however see him in the collective Avengers super hero group films. But even that Avengers leash could be short as well with their story line in a couple of years.

“Superman”

We have drones now that fly off air craft carriers why do you need a muscle up man to save the world from evil. Also, Ben Affleck has directed and acted in some very good films, but Superman with a computer augment deep voice he is not. I think I just want someone else for this iconic story hero. Yeah maybe that’s is it. Or maybe he should develop a new super hero character altogether with much lower fan expectations say like doing “Space Ghost" and or "The Herculoids" .

  

“Godfather”

Any more sequels to the first two iconic films would feel like a cinematic equivalent of a racketeering felony conviction punishable with life without the possibility of parole. Please refuse their "offer" to make any more of these. Its not personal, it just legacy. Other wise if they do make another .............."You will break my heart".

“Star Wars”

We have drones now that fly off air craft carriers. Why do you need light sabers and X-Wing fighters to save the universe from heavy breathing black helmet wearing evil and forgettable characters and their quirky names that I can neither pronounce or remember them in the film itself.

“Jason Bourne”

We have drones that fly off carriers now. Why do you need a man with bad memory to save the world from evil which happens to be his own country trying to always kill him. Besides Matt Damon was 32 when he starred in the original 2002 “The Bourne Identity”. Now he's age 48.and a little heavier.  Its just time for Jason to hang up his lethal no. 2 pencil. 

“Rocky now Creed films"

OK, I like the Rocky 2015 reboot titled "Creed". It was actually pretty good. But the latest coming out in 2018 called "Creed 2"  looks like it may becoming a formulaic franchised again with the introduction of the Ivan Drago character via the way of his son fighting Apollo Creed's son. WOW? Someone must have spent months thinking this plot up involving a menacing Russian subplot. Where in the world would they ever get an idea like that? This will be my last time I enter the cinematic ring with this boxing effort for sure. 

“Jurassic World" 
Read my review of  "Jurassic World; Fallen Kingdom" dated  Saturday - June 23rd, 2018. There is no more bite in this prehistoric story which has now turned into nothing more than "Jurassic World: Owen Grady, Dino Whisperer".
