When it comes to Hollywood, don’t we just love watching our favorite fictional heroes in a prequel or sequel? Well, that’s exactly the charm of franchise films. After all, why should the fandom just stop at one film right? Cinema has presented us with countless movie franchises that makes us wait for the next film like it’s the most important thing of our lives. Be it sequels, prequels, a spin-off or a reboot, franchises have hooked us to our screens in ways we could have never even have imagined. So without any further ado, here are five franchises that you can start watching to experience a journey that’s way longer than one movie.
- James Bond:
24 films over a 58-year legacy with the 25th movie just a few months away. If we were every taking about one of the most-popular movie franchises that makes cinephiles go crazy, James Bond surely has to be at the very top of that list. Be it Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan or the super suave Daniel Craig, a James Bond movie never fails to keep one at the edge of their seat. Far more than just a British secret agent, 007 is all things kickass and classy with chase sequences, evil villains and exotic locations. Don’t we just love watching the man in a dapper suit, coming out of his Aston Martin to sip a Vodka Martini that’s shaken, and not stirred? Oh yes, we do!!! After 5 long years, we will get to see the 25th film in the franchise featuring the beloved Daniel Craig one last time this November as he stars in No Time To Die. Safe to say, the excitement is unreal!
2. Jurassic Park:

While we read about these creatures in our history books, it was the stellar director Steven Spielberg who immersed us in the world of dinosaurs with the 1993 film Jurassic Park that was based on Michael Crichton’s book by the same name. What followed after that were four fabulous films that took us to the prehistoric era of these creatures. Fans of the franchise are in for a treat as Jurassic World: Dominion hits screens next year. With the makers revealing that the film won’t be the final film in the franchise, we can’t wait to see what lies in store with future films.
