10 Movies Everyone Skips In A Franchise

2. A Good Day to Die Hard

It's not unfair to say that the Die Hard franchise flat-out died with a whimper when its fifth and apparently final entry, A Good Day to Die Hard, was listlessly sloughed into cinemas in 2013.

After delivering four action flicks which ranged from masterful to not-bad, the wheels finally came off the enterprise with number five, which was fatally hobbled by underwhelming action sequences, a forgettable script, and a listless dynamic between John McClane (Bruce Willis) and his screen son Jack (a somnambulant Jai Courtney). Even the Russian setting couldn't do much to enliven a series that evidently said everything it needed to within four movies. 

A Good Day to Die Hard is the first, and thankfully only, entry in the franchise to truly feel like it was tossed-off for no reason other than money, and so it's incredibly easy to just... stop watching after the fourth film, the surprisingly rock solid Live Free or Die Hard.
