00:00We can't change the past, but we can change the future.
00:06Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español. I am G, and today we will see high budget movies that were intended to inspire several more, but could not even pass a delivery.
00:17Did you break it already?
00:18I didn't break it, it's just out of juice.
00:22Number 20, Mortal Engines.
00:25You never head south in the Outlands.
00:28Not ever.
00:29With the writers of The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens in charge of the script of this adaptation.
00:36And with the return of many of the members of the cast and the team of this trilogy, things looked promising at first for Mortal Engines.
00:44The film seemed to emulate the success of other series for young adults with female protagonists in a post-apocalyptic world.
00:51However, this was not the Hunger Games.
00:54Perhaps the huge reach of the production was too much for the Nobel director and former collaborator of Jackson, Christian Rivers.
01:01Although the ruined landscape and the wild cities of the film looked very good thanks to the special effects of Weta Digital, they also had a crazy budget.
01:10Its bad premiere and its even worse performance led it to lose about 175 million dollars, condemning any sequel plan.
01:18You're gonna kill me.
01:20For a little while.
01:23Number 19. Battle Los Angeles
01:35Of all the commercial products designed only for the male genre, Battle Los Angeles is one of the most shameless.
01:42The film is full of a lot of testosterone.
01:45Including the American army, lethal aliens, explosions, action sequences of video games and Michelle Rodriguez as a soldier.
01:54Maybe it would have been great if some substance supported it, but it has as much nutritional value as a certain franchise of Michael Bay.
02:01Unlike Transformers, this one lost the battle and the war with the public.
02:06What the hell are all these red marks here?
02:07It means they're gone.
02:08Wait, you mean the units got moved?
02:10Wiped out.
02:12All of them?
02:13All of them.
02:14Number 18. Madame Web
02:17I'm going to protect you guys. We'll protect each other.
02:20Yeah, we're in this together. Right?
02:23Sony's desire to emulate the success of the MCU led them to create several superhero movies with the rights they already had, including the poorly done Madame Web.
02:33Cassandra Web, an old clairvoyant with visual impairment and paralysis in her legs, was dragged from the margins of Spider-Man to the center of the stage.
02:42They reimagined her as a young paramedic, which already leaves a lot of intrigue to the character.
02:47Dakota Johnson was joined by Sidney Sweeney, who tried his best, and Taha Rahim, along with Adam Scott, as a very forced Ben guy.
02:55The story wanted to take advantage of parts of Spider-Man that were forgotten, despised, or both.
03:00And although they promised multiple Spider-Women, we didn't see their powers or their costumes in this movie, nor in any other.
03:13Number 17. The A-Team
03:16Russ, this is too big an enterprise. We can't let these bozos do this.
03:20The movie had been in development since the mid-90s, and when it was finally released in 2010, it was already too late.
03:28Although it wasn't a colossal failure, current viewers were on the verge of disinterest for a cinematic adaptation of an 80s series, starring Oscar Schindler, Phil The Hangover, and that guy from District 9.
03:43And someone who wasn't Mr. T.
03:45It makes sense that the team didn't have a plan B, because director Joe Carnahan said that there wouldn't be a second part.
03:54Number 16. Speed Racer
04:04After the success of the Matrix trilogy, people were anxious to see what Laszlo Tchaikovsky would do.
04:10The answer was Speed Racer, a movie that had been in development since the early 90s, although the filmmakers made it truly their own.
04:20Speed Racer emulates the anime in which it is based, with bright colors and exaggerated characters.
04:26Its argument about the value and determination that triumph over business plans and evil capitalists was surprisingly serious, and people hated it.
04:36The overwhelmingly negative reviews and its poor performance in box office ended with a predictable sequel, although over the years it has earned a well-deserved revaluation, often acclaimed as an underestimated masterpiece.
04:57Number 15. I Am Number 4
05:07This is one of the many romantic movies for teenagers who desperately wanted to be the next Twilight.
05:13I Am Number 4 tells another story of a strange attraction that falls in love with an ordinary girl in a quiet town.
05:20The only difference is that the protagonist is a sexy and melancholic alien without personality, instead of a sexy and melancholic vampire without personality.
05:30It is true that it has more action scenes, probably included with the hope of attracting a wider audience, although in the end it did not attract almost anyone.
05:44Number 14. Van Helsing
05:46Don't wish for death so quickly, I intend for you to be quite useful.
05:50Like the mummy, Stephen Somers gave life to some of Universal's classic monsters in this reimagination of Dracula's greatest enemy.
05:59With characters like Frankenstein's monster, Mr. Hyde, the werewolf and of course Dracula himself, sequels, possible spin-offs and even a television show were expected.
06:10Universal was so sure that they paid to keep the sets and began to develop a sequel even before the premiere of Van Helsing.
06:18However, many fans of monster movies did not like the transformation of the stoic Abraham Van Helsing into the action hero Gabriel Van Helsing, with his tricks and strange dialogues.
06:30Despite Hugh Jackman's efforts and a moderate success in box office, the bad reception nailed a stake in the heart of the planned sequel.
06:41Spread him with holy water, staked him through the heart and still he lives. Do you understand? No one knows how to kill Dracula.
06:47Number 13. Prince of Persia. The Sands of Time
06:51There must be a reason why you can't take your eyes off me.
06:54You're... I... I don't trust you and you're not my type.
06:59A franchise based on a video game can be a risky proposal.
07:03Although in recent years some have been successful, many aspirants have failed and died before even having a script for the sequel.
07:10Such was the case of Prince of Persia. The Sands of Time by Disney, which the studio bosses referred to as the next Pirates of the Caribbean.
07:18At first glance, the similarities, a historical adventure of cape and a sword based on a popular IP, seemed clear.
07:25However, the parallels were superficial in the best of cases and failed to have the same success.
07:32The experts didn't like it and criticized it for its whitening, while video game fans thought it deviated too much from the material it was based on.
07:42How can I trust a man who breached the walls of my city?
07:45Well, I'm starting to think I'm no longer the same man who breached those walls.
07:49Number 12. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
07:53I must say you're a gloomy looking bunch. Why so glum?
07:59Our parents just died.
08:01Oh yes, of course.
08:02To be fair, A Series of Unfortunate Events was a fun adaptation.
08:06It captured the crazy and dark spirit of Lemony Snicket's books and Jim Carrey was born to play Count Olaf.
08:13However, with 13 novels, there was too much material to put it in one or more movies.
08:19As a result, it felt a bit rushed and failed to attract a lasting audience.
08:24Although the TV series developed by Netflix had better luck in that regard.
08:29Hello, hello, hello, children.
08:33Number 11. The Lone Ranger
08:35Great shot!
08:37It was supposed to be a warning shot.
08:40In that case, not so good.
08:41Still desperate to create the success of the pirate franchise, Disney reunited the star, the director, the producer and the screenwriters of the original trilogy for The Lone Ranger.
08:52Like these movies, it also had a huge price, with an estimated budget of $225 and $250 million.
09:00Even after Disney raised budgetary problems, which caused delays in production.
09:06The hopes that this investment would be recovered in the box office were destroyed when it was released against My Favorite Villain 2,
09:14which, despite having been made with a third of the budget of The Lone Ranger, won the triple that weekend.
09:20Criticism didn't do him any good.
09:22And it didn't help either the controversy around Johnny Depp playing a warrior with a spot.
09:33Number 10. The Golden Compass
09:35In my world, scholars invented an alethiometer.
09:41A golden compass.
09:43From a technical point of view, The Golden Compass had all the right tools to bring to life the famous novel by Philip Pullman.
09:51The film even won an Oscar for its amazing special effects.
09:55But as beautiful as it was, the complex themes of history related to religion and free will were lost in the middle of the visual spectacle.
10:05The fans of the books were disappointed.
10:08Those who didn't read it were confused, and director Chris Weitz practically reneged on the film,
10:14which, according to him, was ruined due to the involvement of the studio.
10:26Number 9. Power Rangers
10:35I'm pretty sure I'm a superhero.
10:37Although it wasn't exactly that bad, Power Rangers had a much lower performance in box office,
10:42since the film barely had profits.
10:45Also, although the reviews were not excessively negative, they were not especially good either,
10:51so the critics were divided.
10:54So why is there such a mediocre and slightly disappointing feature film here?
10:58Because of the overwhelming confidence that Lionsgate would not only have another film, but at least five more.
11:04It was revealed that it was destined to be the first of an arc that could cover from 6 to 8,
11:09with many things reserved for the possible sequels.
11:13For example, the favorite green ranger of the Tommy Oliver fans,
11:17which was discussed in a post-credits scene, but that finally would not go anywhere.
11:32Number 8. Eragon
11:34The powers you do not acknowledge, but there is a doom upon you.
11:39Part of it lies in a death that rapidly approaches.
11:42The adaptations of Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings were huge financial successes at the beginning of the 2000s.
11:50That's why another adaptation of a popular fantasy book series seemed an obvious victory,
11:55and gave Eragon a green light.
11:57There were plans to shoot the second and third sequels,
12:02after what director Stephen Fangmeier assumed would be a first successful project,
12:07but the planned trilogy did not arrive in good time,
12:10since the fans of the books joined the critics in their hatred for this creation.
12:15In addition to not liking it, the fans maintained their passion for the publication of more books,
12:21and asked for a reboot of the television series.
12:25It seems that their prayers have been heard, because he is preparing one for Disney+.
12:33Number 7. John Carter
12:40Disney is lucky to have produced some of the greatest franchises,
12:44because countless millions have been played in some of the biggest failures like John Carter.
12:49This space adventure did not try anything new,
12:52because it took elements borrowed from Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar, Thor,
12:56and many recent popular box office hits.
13:00It is ironic that a film based on a revolutionary science fiction novel,
13:04and directed by the brilliant Andrew Staten,
13:07became such a bad and uninspired waste of time, that it did not generate any money.
13:20Number 6. Warcraft
13:22Legendary Pictures dared with everything when they decided to adapt one of the greatest video game franchises of all time, Warcraft.
13:30They hired the acclaimed and at that time imminent director Duncan Jones,
13:35and gave him a massive budget to fully create the fantastic world of Azeroth.
13:40All those involved hoped that the adaptation would give rise to a fantastic series,
13:45although the final result was seen to be a failure.
13:49The script left much to be desired, and was destroyed by criticism.
13:53Its huge budget and marketing campaign made it not profitable,
13:57despite a good collection in the box office.
14:09Number 5. Dragon Ball Evolution
14:19Have you ever done this before, have you?
14:20Yes, many times, in my head.
14:23Dragon Ball has existed for decades through multiple versions and means,
14:28and was incredibly popular in the United States, Japan, and all over the world.
14:33For the executives of the studios at the end of the 80s,
14:36it was enough for an incredible long-term live-action franchise.
14:40Hollywood wisely decided to adapt the beloved manga and anime,
14:44with the idea of making multiple deliveries in future years,
14:47but not so wisely they decided to deviate a lot from the original material,
14:51turning the popular series into a generic action movie.
14:55Perhaps the worst of all was to have chosen Justin Chadwin as Goku.
14:59A few years after its catastrophic premiere,
15:02the creator of the series, Akira Toriyama, described the movie as
15:06bland and something that could not be considered as part of Dragon Ball.
15:11I'm close to a breakthrough, I can feel it.
15:13The key must be the other Dragon Balls. I have to have them all.
15:16Number 4. Green Lantern
15:18There is no way you can succeed.
15:20You will die, Aldo.
15:24And I'll die trying.
15:26In the era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the trilogy The Dark Knight,
15:30Green Lantern seemed like a very expensive special episode for television.
15:35Although in general the cast was not to blame for anything,
15:38the characters had an excessive CGI.
15:40The villains were literally cartoon characters,
15:43and the plot simply did not take off.
15:46Luckily, at least it seems that DC is trying to redeem itself
15:49with Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern,
15:51an actor who seems perfect for the role after so many years
15:55giving light to the character in English.
15:57We just hope that the script is more solid this time.
16:00I feel your fear growing.
16:03You will be dead soon.
16:07Number 3. Fantastic Four
16:09You always said I had the potential to do something important.
16:11Who's to say this isn't it?
16:13Marvel's first family has had a complicated relationship
16:16with film adaptations.
16:18After a moderate success in the 2000s,
16:21Fox decided to give the franchise an ambitious reboot
16:24when he hired director Josh Trank.
16:26The problems arose from the beginning,
16:28with discussions about the script during pre-production
16:31and several complaints about Trank's behavior during filming.
16:35Supposedly, he and the star Miles Teller
16:38were about to fight in the set.
16:41The problems worsened by the huge shooting changes,
16:44which gave rise to a film in which the facial beauty
16:47and the obvious actors' wigs
16:49varied from one scene to another.
16:51After its premiere, it was widely criticized
16:53and considered one of the worst of the genre ever made.
16:56And the release date of its announced sequel
16:59disappeared discreetly from Fox's calendar.
17:06We need to stop Victor! He's the source!
17:08Number 2. The Last Airbender.
17:10I'm taking you to my ship.
17:12If you don't come,
17:14I'll burn down this village.
17:16I'll go with you.
17:18Taking into account that Avatar The Last Airbender
17:20was practically perfect,
17:22M. Night Shyamalan had no reason
17:24to make a cinematographic live-action adaptation.
17:27However, given how good the series was,
17:30couldn't he at least have splashed the movie a little?
17:33Well, no. Shyamalan modified the central elements,
17:36stripped the story of any humor, heart or magic,
17:39and said,
17:40Isn't my version much better, guys?
17:42Fans from all over the world responded with a resounding no,
17:45ending this new cycle of Avatar
17:47before it even began.

18:08Number 1. Universal's Dark Universe.
18:16Plans were announced for a whole series of movies
18:19interconnected with monsters,
18:21like Frankenstein's girlfriend,
18:23The Invisible Man,
18:24and the first to be released, The Mummy,
18:26as an attempt by Universal
18:28to get into the fashion of cinematic universes.
18:32In theory, it made sense,
18:33since their monster movies
18:35from the 30s to the 50s
18:37constituted the original cinematic universe.
18:40The original Twitter account of Universo Oscuro
18:43even published a very retouched image
18:45with the announced protagonists of the movies.
18:48When The Mummy was released,
18:49it had a series of easter eggs
18:51and jokes about future movies,
18:53and it had Russell Crowe as Mr. Hyde.
18:55After its disastrous release,
18:57all the projects were delayed
18:59and then cancelled,
19:01destroying the cinematic universe
19:02before it even existed.
19:11Which cinematic franchise that didn't exist
19:14do you think was the biggest mistake?
