10 Fourth Movies In Franchises That Spoiled Otherwise Great Trilogies

A successful trilogy is an incredible thing, but one movie more and it can ruin the entire franchise. Movies that tell a compelling story over three parts while audiences remain satisfied are no mean feat. But unfortunately, when filmmakers and studios know they have found lighting in a bottle, it is very difficult to let sleeping dogs lie and allow a franchise to go out on a high. Often, these series come back for a fourth time and, in the process, can end up spoiling the positive perception of a once beloved trilogy.
