Re: What '80s/'90s movie franchise just needs to call it quits already?
As much as I love the Terminator mythology, I’ll have to say the Terminator franchise. T3 and Genysis just rehashed everything. Lazy writing and characters.
Terminator Salvation dared to do something different and I will defend that movie forever. McG really put a good effort into that movie, which is showcased in the behind the scenes Blu-ray featurettes. I really don’t get the hate for Salvation.
I have extremely low expectations for the next film, which will probably do the same old plot of Arnold protecting someone from another terminator.

Jurassic Park. Seriously, I can't think of a more uninteresting, repetitive, movie series. "Hey, wanna see dinosaurs chase people around for 2 hours? Wanna see interchangeable characters have no real character development? You're in luck!"
Actually: Men in Black, Austin Powers, The Matrix any other 90s franchise series need to go away or stay permanently buried.

Haven't heard many rumours about another Lethal Weapon movie in quite some time, but if they found the right director (Richard Donner is probably too old at this point) and agreed to make it R-rated, I'd actually be interested in this. They'd have to come up with a unique plot, cause obviously they'd both be retired at this point, but I enjoyed the interaction between Gibson and Glover enough that I'd actually look forward to this...
And why is Donner "too old"? Guy is the exact same age as Clint Eastwood.

The less than perfect Terminator sequels do not diminish the enjoyment i get rewatching Terminator and T2 (which i've done probably dozens of times).
And a bad Terminator movie is to me anyway better than a lot of the other boring crap out there. It's still a movie in a genre i like.
The women's Ghostbusters was worse than bad though
If they make money they make money and will continue to be made until they do not make money
Today's world is all about choice.
Don't watch something if you don't want to, it's no skin off anyone else's nose.
