Most disappointing movie franchise reboot? Pick Two
Vigo:
Here is my $0.02 on the other movies that I have seen from the list:
Indiana Jones 4 - probably the biggest move dissapointment, they took a legendard franchise about a man fighting endless hoards of Nazis, and turned it into Chia Leboof flying around with his motorcycle, swinging from vines and summoning jungle monkeys to stop a couple cars worth of communists.
Terminator 4 - I was disenchanted at T3, which I didn't understand how that terminator was any bit more scary than the T-1000. Oh wait, it can steer trucks with it's computer mind. ::)
Die Hard 4 - The movie was by far over the top, but I was Ok with it. They got Bruce Willis' character right, and while they did the dopey sidekick thing, he actually played off Bruce Willis pretty well.
Rocky 6 - An improvement from the last few Rocky movies, It kinda got back to what the movies were originally about, the drama and not the fighting. I respected the movie for that, but like the originals, I could probably only watch the movie once every 7 years.
New Star Trek - I really loved the movie, not going to lie. I hated the whole teeny bopper feel of "ooh! Spock's dating uhura." If it's not Kirk and a space babe, I don't want to see it. 8)
Batman Begins - This movie and it's sequel were very good, but I feel they tried too hard to step the badass scale up. I also felt a little sour that all my friends were suddenly hating on the Tim Burton Batman movies.
Superman Returns - Ugh. What color kryptonite turns superman into a whiny ---tallywhacker---? This movie really defecates on the 75 year old american icon. Having him have an illegitimate son and run away from the entire planet only to return when he is needed the most - when Lex Luthor obtains 'land growing crystals' ooh! That's superman alright.
Planet of the Apes w Marky Mark - It's an abomination of the original Heston film, but a step up from the original sequals. My expectations were raised only because it was directed by Tim Burton. The day that first saw the film is the day that I learned a big budget doesn't necessarily help make a filmmaker's movie.

Oh, don't forget Rachel Nichols, who played the Orion Slave Girl! Sure Zoe Saldana is hot, but still. Once you go green... ...you know what I mean. (/me nods knowingly)

You mean Gruntman? I liked the portrayal, all except for the voice. For my money, the first Batman movie, with Michael Keaton, is still the best. (I saw that in the theatre - it rocked.)

I hated, hated, hated Superman Returns, and had such high hopes. In the preview, where Kevin Spacey yelled, "WRONG!!!", I never thought he was talking about the plot. Oh, and what's with the damn blue contact lensed Supes, eh? Can we NOT find an actor with blue eyes, or even still, digitally fix them in every damn scene he's in? We're not stupid - I can spot a brown eyed person wearing blue contacts a mile away. Every time he was close up, I died a little more inside. And yeah, "Son of Superman"? PUUUUUUHHHHLLLLLLEEEEAAASSEEEE. Who didn't see that a mile away? Hate, hate, hate, hate that movie. I'd watch "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" fifty more times before I'd sit through that lengthy piece of crap again.

@Rick: I forgot about the R2 flying bit. :)
@Vigo: Wow...you really did a good job of ripping apart Star Wars and I agree 100%. They are still entertaining movies though, especially Episodes 4, 5 & 6 obviously.
As for the other movies I didn't really hate any of them except for the newly added Godzilla, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday The 13th.
I enjoyed Batman Begins but also hated that everyone started ripping on the Burton ones after. The problem was Batman Forever and Batman & Robin gave the Burton ones a bad name. The first one with Keaton and Nickelson is classic and played out perfectly like a comic book. The second one had flaws but was still decent.
Bootay:
Oh yea...I forgot about Superman Returns. I also hated that movie with a passion.
Only redeeming quality (and it has been mentioned already) was the plane scene. The rest can go to hell. It was a let down. They should have never tried to make it a sequel of the original series and just rebooted the series. Actually they should have never made that movie period. I agree with Rick. I would watch Superman 3 & 4 before this movie again.
