10 Bloated Movie Franchises That Should Stop Immediately

4. Bourne

Bourne Matt Damon is Jason Bourne. Again, I say: Matt Damon is Jason Bourne. The nanosecond Mr. Damon exited stage left, the franchise should have ceased to exist. I like that Pam Landy - a pivotal character in the Bourne trilogy - was in the 4th installment (The Bourne Legacy). Joan Allen is an excellent actress who brings gravitas to any acting role she undertakes. However, the triumphant return of Jason Bourne/David Webb is who the people really want. Don't get me wrong. I have love for Jeremy Renner's work; he's Hawkeye for crying out loud! But Mr. Renner's Aaron Cross is not Jason Bourne. The question remains how a movie studio can continue to justify continuing a movie franchise named for a character who no longer appears in it. Mr. Damon says he's done portraying Bourne. I take him at his word. Until or unless that changes, shut it down, Universal.
