10 Movie Franchises We Never Want To See Rebooted Again

10. Die Hard

If you want to split hairs and say that the Die Hard franchise has never technically been rebooted, then think back to how much the fourth installment changed who John McClane was as a character.

In the first three movies, McClane was an ordinary guy who found himself dealing with extraordinary circumstances, who had to scratch and claw his way through whatever situation he found himself in, barely making it out of the other side alive. By the time Live Free or Die Hard arrived after a twelve-year hiatus, he returned as just another generic action hero.

Now able to take down fighter jets with his bare hands and drop in a one-liner for good measure, the series doubled down on the new and seemingly invulnerable McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard by making him a globe-trotting man of action who could resolve potential international crises armed with just bullets and a wooden sidekick.

The latter two movies strayed so far from what made McClane a cinematic icon in the first place that there's no real need for us to see him again in any shape or form. With Disney now in control of the franchise following their takeover of Fox, it's now doubtful that we will.
