say right here look 200 meters out let’s
say right behind that backside there
plus lieutenant we got a bus come on you
seriously thought that was gonna get a
sequel the men on the roof so bus I
think it could be operational welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 failed
movie franchises so good I miss you but
did you long baby wait for this list
we’re taking a look at big-budget movies
that were supposed to inspire multiple
installments but couldn’t even get past
one entry due to poor box office returns
critical reviews and viewer response you
got to move fast boss is a big target I
made the call number 10 battle Los
Angeles Favreau Harris antenna needs
recon on a bus but runs get it back here
alright yeah either if you know how our
bus of all the commercial products
solely designed to manipulate the male
gender battle Los Angeles is one of the
most blatant this is our last shot got
it
the film is overstuffed with everything
macho including the American military
lethal aliens
explosions video game action sequences
and Michelle Rodriguez as a tough
soldier I didn’t get this far off on my
good looks I’m ready for payback
maybe this would be cool if there was
something of substance backing it all up
but battle Los Angeles has about as much
nutritional value as a certain Michael
Bay franchise maybe I can help I’m a
veterinarian
unlike transformers though this film
lost the battle and the war with
audiences I need you to be my little
Maria you don’t lie
what
because we range don’t never nine super
mario brothers name last name mario if
you’re a die-hard Nintendo fan there’s
plenty to be furious about when watching
Super Mario Brothers ok what’s your name
Luigi Luigi Luigi Oh Luigi Mario Mario
Mario and Luigi Maya the fact that
neither Mario nor Luigi have Italian
accents the fact that their last name is
Mario the fact that the movie barely
resembled the video games they were
based on and that’s just the tip of the
iceberg I must say we have a very
exciting proposal a video game based on
your many adventurers what would you
call it
Iggy’s world
what’s insulting above all else is that
the filmmakers left matters on a
cliffhanger assuming that people would
actually want to see a sequel to this
mess you gotta come with me I need your
help
what’s wrong a more appropriate ending
would have been a game over screen I
disintegrated am I still here
what is this mess this is car
number eight the 18 well I’m a little
taken back I’m not gonna lie an eighteen
movie had been in development since the
mid 90s by the time the film finally
came out in 2010 it was too little too
late you almost got yourself killed she
almost got me killed almost got him
killed while not a colossal flop modern
moviegoers were borderline uninterested
in seeing a screen adaptation of an
eighty series starring Oscar Schindler
Phil from The Hangover that one guy from
district 9 and not mr. t this is it
right here it’s just batshit insane it’s
fitting that the a-team never has a plan
B since director Joe Carnahan announced
that a sequel won’t be happening Murdock
burn the hell at it like it was damn
number seven jumper I I think I need to
talk to my lawyers after winning
multiple Razzies for the Star Wars
prequels Hayden Christensen was given
one more chance to prove to mainstream
audiences that he could carry a film
with jumper as high as Christensen
jumped he fell hard with this instantly
forgettable Turkey right
like Christensen’s performance
everything about the movie is
bombastically bland from the effects to
the premise to the action sequences
what’s going on even the name jumper
sounds like a half-assed working title
no wonder a sequel failed to get off the
ground can I help you
number six I am Number Four I know I’m
next
I am Number Four one of several teen
romance films that desperately wanted to
be the next Twilight I am Number Four
tells another story of an attractive
outsider who falls for an ordinary girl
in a quiet town and we warn me of the
only fawful in person
the only difference is that the
protagonist is a sexy brooding alien
with no personality instead of a sexy
brooding vampire with no personality
boring as hell yeah yeah granted I am
Number Four is a little less chick
oriented with the occasional action set
piece to keep the guys amused I posed to
pussies
he killed Henry
I want him
in the end however the film didn’t
attract either gender oh well that was
disappointing
number five Lemony Snicket’s A Series of
Unfortunate Events
my name is Lemony Snicket and it is my
sad duty to document this tale to be
fair a series of unfortunate events was
a fun adaptation it captured the darkly
whimsical spirit of Lemony Snicket’s
books and Jim Carrey was born to play
Count Olaf who shall play the most
handsome count in all the world with 13
novels in the series though there was
simply too much material to squeeze into
one or even several films as a result a
series of unfortunate events felt a bit
rushed while failing to attract an
enduring audience oh and by the way
you’re a terrible actor
let’s keep our heads here hopefully the
TV series developed by Netflix we’ll
have better luck these children tried to
tell you but you wouldn’t listen no one
ever listens to children number four the
Golden Compass well some people know
what’s best for them and some people
don’t
from a technical standpoint the Golden
Compass had all the right tools to bring
Philip Pullman’s celebrated novel to
life hush pan off the film even won an
Oscar for it’s jaw-dropping special
effects but as beautiful as the film
looked the story’s complex themes
regarding religion and free will were
lost in the midst of all the visual eye
candy fans of the books were
disappointed those who never read the
book were just confused and director
Chris Weitz has practically disowned the
film which he claimed was ruined due to
the studio’s involvement oh wise person
knows Myra there are some things that we
best ignore subjects that you why didn’t
ever speak about number three
JOHN CARTER mr. burrows no adult and
your uncle’s attorney
my deepest sympathies Disney’s lucky
that they’ve produced some of the
biggest franchises of all time because
the company has also gambled away
countless millions on some of the
biggest bombs like John Carter John
Carter of Mars
send as much better this space adventure
tried nothing new borrowing elements
from Pirates of the Caribbean avatar
Thor and every other popular blockbuster
in recent memory
it’s kind of ironic that a film based on
a revolutionary sci-fi novel and
directed by the brilliant Andrew Stanton
would amount to such a mundane and
uninspired waste of time
not to mention money all right then Sola
just play along
number two Green Lantern
in an age of the Marvel Cinematic
Universe and the Dark Knight trilogy
Green Lantern came off like a
multi-million dollar after-school
special hello right
although the cast was blameless for the
most part the effects were CGI overkill
the villains were literally cartoon
characters and the plot never took off
do you think I’m irresponsible I need to
answer this fortunately it at least
looks like DC is trying to get their act
together with their new lineup of
upcoming movies that’s really cool
fanboys are gonna have to wait several
more years however to see if they’ll
finally do the Green Lantern Justice
sorry I got a run make yourself at home
okay there’s a water in the tap before
we get to our top pick here are some
honorable or in this case this honorable
mentions come on let’s see when you go
you want speed
they’re ignoring me they’re ignoring
everybody’s ignoring me pick up the
phone could be worse
worse how could this be worse
number one The Last Airbender bring me
all your elderly seeing how Avatar The
Last Airbender was pretty much perfect
to begin with M night Shyamalan had no
reason to make a live-action cliffnotes
film adaptation it wasn’t very smart
given how phenomenal the animated series
remains though shouldn’t some of that
greatness have worked its way into the
last airbender nuke they had his chance
and missed it instead Shyamalan messed
with poor elements while stripping the
story of any humor heart or magic and
said is it my version so much better you
guys fans around the world responded
with a resounding nope bringing this new
avatar cycle to an end before it even
started
do you agree with our list what other
movies deservedly failed to spawn a
franchise for more entertaining top 10s
