Top 10 Most Tired movie Series

Tired. Movies. The Most? What does this mean? It means that the content has become stale over the initial success of the original. Here, we have a list of movies that make you wonder what you did in a previous life to deserve this. Let's drag this pineapple.....

10) The Air Bud franchise

Holy shit. This is it. With a total of 14 movies (including spin-offs) this series still happens to find an audience. The first 2 movies were released in theaters and the following 12 went straight to home video.  Apparently a dog with an affinity for sports deserves to never be put down. 

9) The Highlander.

When the first movie came out it was a spectacular story of immortality and dealing with your past and learning from your mistakes. Starting out with Christopher Lambert (Mortal Kombat 1's Raidin) as some kind of MacLeod or whatever being trained by Scottish speaking Spainard, Sean Connery. Good start huh? Welp. Let's make 5 more movies and tie it in with the TV series that played after 12am in most markets. Before you can say quickening you're up to your balls in history of head hunters and headache from trying to remember who your favorite hero was. Black hair pony tail guy or the guy who talks in out loud secrets.

***Editors note: "Highlander: The Raven" was to shitty to be included in this list so lets face it Highlander should probably be #1

8) The SaW Series

As is the case in the previous movies, the first one was interesting and scary. But when you learn the formula of how this franchise works (gore, story, gore, twist, finish) and you see it play out 6 more times then you feel like the series has wasted your time. The only way they could save face with this series (barely) was to bring back a victim from the first movie and make him the villain. Jesus Christ.    

7) The Land Before Time gauntlet

With 13 movies under it's extinct belt, this run of movies with their racist names (long neck? Sharp Tooth? I don't call my friends vague names, nerds) still kept going even though no one was watching them. It probably became a joke to keep making these movies over time just to hear people say "how many are there?!".

6) The Sandlot

I bet you didn't know that there were 3 of these movies, did ya?. The first one was a great picture of Americana and the classic game of baseball and by the third movie it actually involved time travel...time travel. It handled the "what if I could go back and change everything" questions you had. Just forget that 2 and 3 exist and keep reading. 

5) The Pirates of the Caribbean 

Johnny Depp was nominated for an oscar for his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow and the movie was planned to be a one time thing and that would have been fine but Disney threw some money at Gore Verbinski (director) and Johnny Depp (Tim Burton's action figure) and they had fun so why not make some more? They wrapped up their sad trilogy and 2 years later went ahead with another movie and there are plans to make another movie...we have indeed been cursed.

4) Friday the 13th

Man I get winded just listing off all of the movies they made. Franchise Roll Call!

Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), Friday the 13th Part III (1982), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985), Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood(1988), Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989), Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), Jason X (2002), Freddy vs. Jason (2003), Friday the 13th (2009)

As sad as it looks on cyber screen paper, you almost have to give it up to any series that could survive a movie like Jason X and still make more movies.

3) Three Musketeer Movies

Ok enough joking around lets get hateful.  I hate the three Musketeers. Everything about them is terrible.  I always like to imagine  Alexander Dumas asking someone what the title should be.

 "So I got these four guys who use swords and like to yell motto's at each other, but I can't think of a name..."

"What about the 4 gunmen?"

"No I was thinking something like the Three Musketeers!"

Did I mention they are French?

 The Three Musketeers! The three Musketeers have been holding people hostage for 100 years.  Look it up...oh yeah I did.  (wiki/The_Three_Musketeers_in_film) states:  "The Three Musketeers, a 1903 French production about which very little is known"

 I can tell you what is known, it sucked.  If they never make another three Musketeer movie it will be too soon.

2)  Robin Hood

You know what I hate more than the Three Musketeers?  Nothing.  Robin Hood is more tired though, like those French twits he has been "Helping" the poor since the 1900's.  Robin Hood is being remade again, still.  There is so much down word motion in this Franchise you would swear it was the amount of  Kevin Sorbo's royalty checks.

1) ROBOCOP

I am not sure that this should be on this list above The 3 Musketeers but when you make a movie as shitty as ROBOCOP 3 you have to take your ROBOMedicine. Ironic that a robot couldn’t be rebooted. Not for lack of trying. This Franchise tried everything, even a reboot to a TV show! (which sucked) Then they decided they should make a TV miniseries. The thing that cements this movie as #1 is how amazing the first movie was. The rest that followed, and there was a lot, not so much.   ROBOCOP is the only thing that makes the future of Detroit look worst.

Well who needs a nap?  I know I do.  There are the worst of the best, or whatever.
