12 Films So Bad That They Killed Off Their Franchise

7. Look Who's Talking Now

Batman And Robin
TriStar

While the Look Who's Talking franchise was never exactly a thing of cinematic brilliance, the first film was a hugely successful film that was enjoyable and showcased its fair share of wit. The initial sequel was an atrocity, acting as the definition a pumped out sequel. But just when audiences thought things couldn't possibly get any worse, they did.

Look Who's Talking Now is an insult to any viewer who happens to watch it. It is the dullest, the tritest, and most infuriating of experiences. Whereas the first two films were built around the gimmick of the audience being able to hear the thoughts of the babies, the third film has some useless talking dogs tacked on to a completely unrelated 'plot'.

Apparently, the creators realized that the kids were too old to not be actually talking anymore, so they threw some darts at a wall and somehow dogs is what they got stuck with.

If that's not bad enough for you, then the central story of the family certainly will be. Travolta and Alley have never been less likable than they are here, as the film simply stammers along from one mind-numbing gag to the next. By the sheer grace of God, this franchise has been dead and buried ever since. Let's just pray it stays that way.
