SLIDESHOW: Which Franchise Needs to Die?
1 of 8
'Austin Powers'
Mike Myers has reportedly closed a deal to once again play the super-horny shagadelic international man of mystery, Austin Powers. But almost a decade later, do we really need more Austin?

-
'Sex and the City'
We loved the TV show and we tolerated the first movie, but the sequel was cartoonish and offensive. Now the show is reportedly coming back for a 7th season. Can't Carrie and Mr. Big live happily ever after already?
-
'Transformers'
In June, Shia LaBeouf said he won't come back to do a fourth "Transformers" … and he doesn't think Michael Bay will, either. First we lost Megan Fox, now Shia … perhaps it's the end of the road for this one?
-
'Cars'
Factoring in today's higher admission prices, the first "Cars" sold more tickets than the critically panned, blatantly political "Cars 2."
-
'Scream 4'
"Scream 4" opened in April to mixed reviews, coming in second at the box office for the second-lowest opening since the first film. Time to put it to rest, guys.
-
The 'Bourne' series
"The Bourne Legacy" will reportedly feature a new hero and a new director … and no Matt Damon. "Bourne" without Bourne? That's just weird.
-
'Mission: Impossible'
So is it cool to like Tom Cruise again? Cruise returns with "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" in December, the fourth film in the series. We thought "M:I" went out with the couch-jump.
-
'Pirates of the Caribbean'
The fourth flick in the series, "On Stranger Tides," was a huge hit this summer, but critics say the franchise has worn out its welcome.

This isn't so groovy, baby.
Mike Myers has closed a deal to once again play the super-horny shagadelic international man of mystery, Austin Powers, HitFix reports.
In other words, "Austin Powers 4" is on its way to a theater near you.
We have to admit, this one took us by surprise. It's been almost a decade since "Goldmember," the last "Austin Powers" flick. So why the comeback now?
Well, the most obvious explanation is that Hollywood loves making sequels to proven hits. Little risk, almost guaranteed reward.
While we kind of got our fill of Austin with the first movie in 1997 (no one could ever really replace Liz Hurley), we have been a big fan of Myers since "Wayne's World." And we'd love to see him overcome his 2008 flop, "The Love Guru."
That said, we're not convinced there's a fourth story that Austin needs to tell.

+13None of the above.
Twilight, I would have to say. I am so tired of those characters.
But I agree with the top comment, the Twilight series needs to just...go away.
All of the choices could end.
I also think that Toy Story needs to die. The third one, while my least favorite and the one I will definitely NOT watch if given the choice, is a masterpiece and the perfect way to end off such a great franchise.
I really think that there are more creative screenplays out there that just don't get picked up and we never find out about.
It really is too bad.
POTC 2= Ok
POTC 3= UMMMMM
POTC 4= Too far
