Bad Movies Analysis: Factor 4: Franchise Disappointments By   [13 more lists]

TO READ THE FULL BAD MOVIES ANALYSIS, VISIT THE OFFICIAL RANKER BLOG

Factors 4 and 5 in our deep analysis of the Worst Movies of All Time list were interesting, in that both contained movies that could have just been considered general "disappointments."

What made Group 4 stand out, though, was that most of these disappointments were part of larger franchises or series of films. Even some movies that were intended to kickstart a new franchise - such as Roland Emmerich's "Godzilla" - seemed to get lumped in her because audiences thought they knew what they were getting, and then left unsatisfied.

For more of the groupings that came out of our analysis of the Worst Films Ever list, see Factor 1 (B-Movie horror), Factor 2 (cheesy movies), Factor 3 (pretentious movies) and Factor 5 (overhyped duds).
