4. Superman Returns

We live in the age of the superhero movie, when Hollywood studios are throwing hundreds of millions at every comic-book franchise they can find, no matter how obscure. So it was inevitable that the mightiest of superheroes could get another shot at glory, and that the new blockbuster wouldn't pick up where Superman IV: The Quest For Peace left off. How to do a proper reboot was a matter of debate: The project was kicked around for over a decade, most famously as a botched dream-team collaboration between director Tim Burton, screenwriter Kevin Smith, and Nicolas Cage as the Man Of Steel. Once it finally got off the ground with Superman Returns, it seemed like a sure bet, a heavily bankrolled production led by director Bryan Singer, who shepherded the X-Men series to big-screen glory. But rather than taking the character into new territory, like Christopher Nolan's grimly existential Batman movies, Singer and company made the mistake of trying to follow Richard Donner's 1978 Superman note for note. Singer even went so far as to cast wooden Christopher Reeve look-alike Brandon Routh in the title role, and Kate Bosworth's Lois Lane and Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor didn't make anyone forget Margot Kidder or Gene Hackman. No word yet on the inevitable re-reboot in 2016 or so, though sequel talk does occasionally, improbably pop up.
