But the first twoMatrixmovies are some of the century’s greatest films, withgroundbreaking action and constant entertainment.

With so many movies, not all of them are bound to be good.

Starting withRaiders of the Lost Ark, theIndiana Jonesfranchise continued to grow for better and worse.

Indiana Jonesis a timeless franchise with a rocky history, but one that fans still look upon fondly overall.

Still, the originalJason Bournetrilogy contains some ofthe best action and thrills fans saw throughout the 2000s.

The franchise includes the original trilogy and two newer films.

It’s unfortunate thatMad Maxisn’t as popular, considering it isone of the most important action series.

Lastly,Furiosais the best action film of 2024, establishing theMad Maxfranchise as one of the best.

TheJohn Wickfranchise, on the other hand, only started in 2014 and has already become a fan favorite.

Some might argue thatMission: Impossibleisn’t the most outstanding action franchise because of lackluster films.

Thefights, stunts, intensity, and exhilarationprovided by theMission: Impossiblemovies make it the greatest action franchise ever.
