    I like action...but sometimes the movie is just not that good....has nothing to do with decade it's from. I love the Bourne movies....I love the MI movies....

    Rambo I was GREAT....Rambo II was okay...Rambo III was GARBAGE....FNF are okay movie with some garbage mixed in....like I said Transformer is the worse...by a long shot..

    I love action films. Mission Impossible is my favourite action franchise of late. Overall I prefer James Bond...but haven't been too impressed with the last two entries and there have been many bad ones along the way ( including all of the pierce Brosnan bonds )

    F&F compared to Rambo or Commando is a joke.

    F&F is fuckin garbage.

    They are not bad when compared to a lot of Vin Diesel movies, especially since "XXX" can now be considered a "franchise". "Pitch Black" on it's own automatically disqualifies this series from nomination.

    Bullshit. You think Commando was good or something? It was beyond ridiculous. Of course i love it, because im a guy who enjoys action movies. But if we are breaking shit down, Fast and Furious is a MUUUUUCH better movie overall than Commando. At least the Fast and Furious movies since the Rock as joined.

    Also Commando was also only made to compete against Rambo 2

    Commando IS pretty bad. :lol:

    One of the most ridiculous soldier of fortune movies ever made. Makes most Chuck Norris movies seem sublime in comparison.

    Commando was a typical 80s action film. I those days people weren't interested in realism.

    Fast & The Furious is one of the most successful franchises ever. Clearly, people are still not interested in realism.

    I watched Commando only once and couldn't believe how bad it was. Any of the Chuck Norris 'Missing in Action' films has more re-watch value than this stinker.

    I read on a movie forum somewhere that Arnie kills 174 people in Commando. That was the number of 'definite' kills, so not including those who were wounded/beaten-up and may have died or may have miraculously survived.

    Add "Hostel" to the mix for worst franchises for me. Still better then "Transformers", but equally as repugnant.

    Commando is "awesomely bad", like The Last Dragon. Ridiculous, but entertaining as hell, and doesn't take itself too seriously.

    Only seen a couple Fast and Furious flicks. They were alright, fairly entertaining with cool stunts and racing scenes. I laugh when they try to have dramatic moments. Just awful. The first Fast and the Furious is a poor man's Point Break (the original, not the mediocre remake).

    From what I have seen of Twilight, it is horrendous. Just cringeworthy and terrible. It's not just teenage girls, I know girls in their late 20s who love that excrement. One of them puts "Cullen" as her last name on Facebook.

    I can't really say what is the worst franchise because if the franchise is that bad, I don't watch the movies.
