Best come back installment for a thought to be dead movie franchise?

 

[SPIDERMAN117]

No brainer on this one.

 

[SPIDERMAN117]

Well actually there two people who have done so.
Star Trek - J.J. Arbams
Batman - Christopher Nolan

 

[webhead731]

Hmmm....there are alot.

I'll say Rocky. They cleverly brought that back in a sequel. So did Rambo and Die Hard.

Batman just had to restart lol. There was no coming back.

 

[Thundarr]

I chose Batman. Although Predator, Rocky, and Rambo are very close. Predator's probably a little more ahead than Rocky and Rambo, because I seriously doubt Stallone will make any more of those franchises.

true, but damn rambo was a surprise

 

[Paroxysm]

I chose Batman as well, George Clooney as Bruce Wayne? **** Off.

Christopher "The Defibrillator" Nolan revived the Batman franchise.

 

[Symbiotic]

Begins, of course, but there's a lot of good ones. I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed the hell out of Live Free Or Die Hard.

 

[Project862006]

no love for Bond the same director resurrected it Twice lol

I have to go with Rambo with Rocky Balboa second. In my opinion Rambo could be the best of the series. Personaly I would list them Rambo, RFB2, with R3 and FB being a tie. And with the Rocky series for me R, R4 and RB are a tie, with the other three being R3, R2 and R5. I also think the PRedator franchise came back super strong with Predators. I personaly think movies that had come back installments like Rambo, Rocky and Predators is a somewhat different arguement than Batman or any other movies that are reboots.

i'd go with

batman
star trek
or tmnt

 

[Homer J. Fong]

Ooooh, this is actually kind of tough: I love Batman Begins and Casino Royale, and Batman and James Bond are two lifelong favorites of mine. I'm gonna go Casino Royale, because I do think that's a better film than Batman Begins, and actually seemed to make the bigger impression.

By the way, which Terminator movie is being counted here, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines or Terminator: Salvation? Because the gap between T2 and T3 was twice as large as the gap between T3 and T4.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I didn't give two ****s about the Bond franchise until Casino Royale. Easy vote for me.

 

[Max J Power]

Casino Royale is my favorite movie of the bunch, so I went with Bond. The only other Bond movies I've seen in full are Goldeneye and Quantum of Solace, though, so I can't say whether Casino Royale was the biggest comeback.

 

[webhead731]

I agree. The two new Bond films were fantastic as well.

It was. The previous installment before that, Die Another Day, was such a overdone, desperate attempt to be a "James Bond Movie," but they missed the flavor entirely. Casino Royale was definitely a return to form.

I voted Batman but really Rocky was a sequel and it was excellent .

 

[dude stannis]

Rocky Balboa made me cry so that gets my vote. But also massive kudos to Sly for Rambo, Christopher Nolan for Batman, Robert Rodriguez for Predator and Martin Campbell for Bond.

Also points to Christian Bale for playing the most unintelligible character on a poll with two Sylvester Stallone characters.

 

[maenalus]

I voted Indiana Jones because I wouldn't have expected to enjoy it so much. It really is almost up to par with RotLA and Last Crusade. The only thing I would have gotten rid of is the CGI, it would have been even better with the same scecial effects of the others.

 

[comicfan4Life]

I voted for Bond. Batman and Predators were good, but once I saw Craig going all badass as Bond, I felt like I high-fived god. The Parkour scene was what really sold me.

 

[SonikDeath]

I gotta go Batman, Bond & Star Trek. Couldn't choose just one, they were all great.

 

[dark_b]

i find it interesting that Campbell rebooted Bond two times.

 

[Ipodman]

I voted Batman because Star Trek was not in there....

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Surely it's Batman?

To come from a film often voted 'worst movie of all time' (B&R), to the (pre-Avatar) second biggest movie of all-time (Dark Knight) is quite incredible.

I will also suggest Superman. Batman was completely refurbished between 1997 and 2005. Supeman somehow, against all odds, continued in 2006 after nineteen years, and after the truly woefully bad Quest for Peace. I doubt anyone on the planet expected there would ever be another sequel to Donner's 1978 classic, and yet there it was. And a wonderful film as well.

 

[TNC9852002]

It's obvious at this point--Batman, Bond, Star Trek,...

The rest seem like one-shot, one-trick pony time of deals with no real chance of continuation, so, they might not count (i.e., Rocky, Rambo,..etc).

If Predators get a decent sequel made, it could help carry the series up and along...Terminator almost took a step back after Salvation and so did Superman..
