The resistance in popularity created by a film which is good in itself being attributed to a popular franchise, this dragging the overall quality of the film down.
Terminator Salvation would be good, if it was just called Salvation, and preferably didn't involve Christian Bale. Tacking it on after Rise Of The Machines contributed a vast amount of franchise drag.
