Most disappointing movie franchise reboot? Pick Two
Mikezilla:
Oh and I think Bryan Singer casted the perfect fit for Superman, I just think the movie needed more action, and Superman isnt supposed to be all somber and emo. Singer said he wanted to do that because he is gay, and he felt like an outsider, and thats what he wanted to convey in Superman. Blah. Keep that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- at home and direct the movie. Superman is the beacon of hope, and is the ultimate hero. The president of warner is trying to make the new Superman be like The Dark Knight, having "dark tones". Trying to get more money...Its annoying. The action scene with the plane was awesome though, if you didnt get chills when it showed him fly in as a blip on the radar before he saved the plane, then youre not a Superman fan. ;D

Sure, a lot of the dialogue was laughable, the guy that played Anakin was horrific and Jar Jar Binks was an unfortunate misstep but overall I thought they were pretty good. The lightsaber fights alone were worth the price of admission. They had some truly memorable new characters (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, General Grevious, etc.) and we got to see Yoda fight like a badass. I don't know... they really couldn't ever live up to expectations but I think people are unfairly critical.
That said, my biggest disappointments on the list are Superman Returns (AWFUL) and the Planet of the Apes. I haven't seen Indy 4 or Rambo 4 yet. I liked the others though.

I liked them as well. Certainly not as good as they could have been. I still watch them if they are on TV although I have to admit Phantom is getting tougher to watch. E2 is fine on DVD if you just hit the chapter-skip whenever Anakin and Padme are alone onscreen. It has almost become a cliche to bash them.

You left out "The Punisher". (Not the Dolph Lundgren movie - that one does not exist.) I mean the one with Ray Stevenson. You know, that one. The one that DIDN'T have Tom Jane in it. The one that sucked.

I personally thought all of the Punisher movies sucked, but the last one at least had the spirit of The Punisher, in the fact that it was very violent unlike the previous ones. The Thomas Jane one was awful...especially the part where he strategically placed an explosive under each car in the parking lot so when he detonated them it formed The Punisher skull...WTF was that all about?
Benevolance:
Rollerball! The first movie was a dystopian character play. The reboot was a sports movie. :(
I also enjoyed the Star Wars reboots, but I'm a Trekkie and don't have a whole lot invested in the SW saga. There were some terrific action sequences (Duel of the Fates, Obi Wan vs Boba Fett), and for every part that featured lame acting by Hayden Christiansen or Jar Jar Binks, there was some good stuff by Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid or Liam Niesen.
