Decent list. I agree with some and disagree with others.

First, Die Hard. I'm sick of people bashing the most recent movie in the franchise. Die Hard 4 was a terrific movie and easily the second best in the series. The guy gives terrible explanations why he thinks the series needs to end. He apparently wanted the drunk John McClane from Die Hard 3 when I feel the John from Live Free or Die Hard was a much more likable character.

Next up is Saw. I disagree with that as well because while some of the sequels haven't been the best they have all had interesting twists that make me looking forward to seeing the next one. And while Saw IV was an awful, awful movie, Saw V was a bounce back and the best one since the first.

And I couldn't agree more with Pirates. This series needs to go. The first one was good but the other two have sucked and I wish this series would just end.

I feel like I disagree with every single thing you have to say regarding movies. You really liked Die Hard 4 more than Die Hard 3? Wow.

We got the spirit. A lot of spirit yeah.

I liked Die Hard 4 but it's the only Die Hard I've seen.

I've been following the rumors about Jurassic Park 4 for years and this is the first I've ever heard of talking dinosaurs. I'm not sure where that got started from. That having been said, I think they do need to quit that series. The first was a classic, the second was meh largely because of Goldblum, and the third was at least a decent adventure film but really they've strayed heavily from what it was meant to be.

I'm hesitant on Pirates and Mummy. I loved all three Pirates movies but I don't think it would feel the same with just Depp returning. I think it's better to leave it for what it is. As for Mummy, I was skeptical with the third one but it turned out halfway decent if predictable and formulaic. I liked the rumor though that the fourth would feature Imhotep from the first two films siding with the Dragon Emperor, although what plot they could weave from that sort of tale I have no idea. I think it's better to leave that series as is too. What they should do is create something new but along the same lines. I've always wanted a remake of Creature From The Black Lagoon.

They stopped everything after the creator of Jurassic Park died, there will be no Jurassic Park 4 any time soon. The closest thing I will see is like 20-30 years down the line they will remake the old one, other than that I don't see anything happening.

Well, Pirates 4 is a go as the screenplay is being written. If they were truly done they should never have indicated the fountain of youth at the end of Pirates 3. My understanding is Geoffrey Rush is coming back as Barbosa but thankfully no Orlando Bloom but wish Kiera Knightley would come back

The ChosenOne is bigger and greater than us all.
ChosenOne is pretty bland and boring
Trolololol!

the whole list is retarded. most of the series are done. and he saws saw is a simple story about torture. simople stories dont take 5 movies to find out what the hell is going on. i hope he didnt get paid for this b/c this list sucks. and his reasons why are possibly the most retarded things ive ever read. the only one i agree with FD which is on its last movie anyway

If they remake it then it better be to make it more like the book cause otherwise it's blasphemy.
