10 Exact Moments That Made Fans Hate Movie Franchises

The Terminator series peaked with 1991’s Judgement Day, and after that, things took a steep downhill dive. The decent pair of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Terminator Salvation couldn't hold a candle to the first two movies, but amazingly, the worst was still to come.

2015's Terminator Genisys was sold as a partial reboot of the series, with the movie focusing on altering the original timeline. Hopes were high, but the whole thing was a piping hot mess: a convoluted script, poor casting choices and weak action terminated the franchise until news of another reboot came along a few years later.

But its treatment of Arnie's famous T-800 was Genisys' worst crime. The character who started off as a scary, unstoppable force of nature in 1984's The Terminator was now a dumb bodyguard used for "comedic relief" by smiling with his teeth bared. Genisys could have been harmless entertainment, but the way it turned this once-badass character into a total laughing stock negatively impacts the great earlier films, and this angered many fans.

Needless to say, nobody liked this change at all. Arnie's goofy smile was probably director Alan Taylor's way of paying homage to a similar deleted scene in Judgement Day - but he failed to understand that there was a reason it was deleted.
