Movies and TV Greatest movie franchises of all time - Page 4

With Endgame on the horizon, I started thinking about how the MCU compares to the other great franchises over the years. So...what are the best ones of all time? We'll generate a giant list then put it through a Rain Man style poll series in the Lounge (probably seeded by box office or something like that).

Here's the current list:

Fuck you for not mentioning the Leprechaun franchise

LOTR, Mission Impossible and Bond for me.

The MCU is right there too.

I've been going back thru watching Craig's Bond movies. Fuck they're good.

Didn't care for it. Only saw it once, so I don't really remember why.

I even liked the Affleck one but realize
In the minority.

Didn’t like the Chris Cline one.

Either that, or I'll ask Rain Man to run with this since it's clearly his area of expertise. :-)

Oh ... that's okay ...

I haven’t seen the Resident Evil franchise mentioned yet so I’ll throw that into the mix.

While I am hyped af about Endgame , I would argue that the MCU is pretty mediocre overall. Like seriously, so many of those movies are forgettable .

Thor 2 , Iron Man sequels both sucked, same goes for Age of Ultron and to a lesser extent Civil War was a pointless popcorn movie. Just my opinion anyways . What I am getting at is not all of the MCU films are worth seeing. Half of them are forgettable and cheap cash grabs .

Also I do not think Kevin Feige (the wizard behind the MCU) gives these directors that much creative freedom . Most of the MCU films have the same standard / cookie cutter formula .

Again, I am hyped for Endgame and think the Russo bros have talent. I do want to see how this shit ends but I wouldn't say its the greatest franchise ever.
