    Rank these action film franchises:

    James Bond - Daniel Craig films only. (I don't include the previous ones because they are outdated in 2015 and the Craig films are a new direction for this age)
    Mission Impossible
    Die Hard
    Bourne
    Fast and Furious

    Fast and Furious is not in the same league. The first movie had that novelty factor but I got bored at 2 or 3.

    Mad Max was cool back in the day but Im not sure if they hold up

    All around mission Impossible is probably the best. Just consistently top notch. Then bond and then FF.

    word.

    MI is tops for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed every last film in that franchise.

    Cruise basically has batted 980 in his career when it comes to movies. The man knows how to pickem. And not only that, but he pretty much is in charge of that whole MI series. He picks the directors too.

    Tokyo drift was very good and basically restarted the whole franchise. Had it not been for that movie, FF would have been dead after 2fast 2 furious which was FUCKING HORRIBLE

    I love his films.

    I've re-watched Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow numerous times, for example....let alone the MI series. Have yet to see Rogue Nation though but I'm sure it's excellent as usual.

    For me it's Bond then MI. Fast and the Furious has been shit apart from the first one. I also didn't like Tokio Drift, I didn't even see 5 and 6. I saw 7 because of the hype about Walker but that movie is also fucking stupid.

    Cruise is brilliant. Jack Reacher was awesome too.

    It's a standalone movie which looks out-of-place in the franchise - no Toretto, no O'Connor, no Hobbs, no actor/actress of any note.

    Die Hard IMO.

    I prefer the first Die Hard to any other movie from the those other franchises.

    LMAO @ F&F being on the list. Fast & Furious is the worst franchise of all time. Horrible movies that for some reason people keep going to see.

    I haven't seen any of the FF films actually, never been interested but I included them on the list because they seem to be popular.

    Good call, although I didn't include them because they straddle fantasy...which is a different genre.
