Most disappointing movie franchise reboot? Pick Two

--- Quote ---This is my big disagreement, I think the superman concept is absolutely great. It really has a resonance of Greek Mythology to me. I think if they made a movie about a "captain wonderful" who couldn't be beat, yeah, it would be lame. Superman is different though. It has the right pieces in place to make it not about his powers, but his character.
Here we have someone who is superior in every way possible, and has the means possible to take over or destroy the world, yet selflessly devotes himself to protect it. He does not even abuse his powers enough to score with Lois Lane. The interest is in what makes this person defy all corruption, how enemies can find an Achilles heel in even someone who seems invincible, and how more often than not, it is not just his powers that give him the true advantage.
The thing is, superman is not just another comic book hero, Superman has that symbolic legend status, and I don't care about what his kid could do because he is weaker, nor even care to see Superman have a kid.

I totally agree with you on this Vigo. Some people say that Superman is one dimensional, but I totally disagree. He is the ultimate Hero, his origin story is awesome, and there are just so many things you can do with him. Yup, "symbolic legend status" is a perfect way to describe it. Any doubters, read Kingdom Come, thats such a great book. Another thing about Superman is that ANYONE can beat him. Look at Batman, he has bested Supes a number of times and he is just a regular guy. Thats the beauty of it.

Cameron and the rest of the crew were going to make a T3, but Furlong was in rehab at the time for cocaine addiction, so they scrapped the whole idea and Cameron and the studio lost the rights (they took too long to make another movie) so that idoiot jonathan mostow got it and made the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- he made. I wanted to like it SO BADLY but alas, it was terrible. Well, not terrible per se, I just had such high hopes and I was let down. Hard.

urrrgh. Terminator Salvation had good effects and a lousy stupid story. And bad directing. I don't want to see another "MCG" movie ever again.
