Reboot - the coolest concept in Hollywood

[Sugarculted]

Damn it. Thread title misleading.
They should make a ReBoot movie though. It'd never happen. One can dream.

Can we have a kick ass Street Fighter movie?

I'm comin forrr you, Bison!

X-Men
Spider-Man
Superman


And I don't want origin reboots, I want them in Batman '89 style where the film opens up and they're already the superhero.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Whatever. Kevin and I are friends. So no matter how many hours you stay up at night dreaming of ways to tear down my pristine, perfect, image around here. Kevin will always know I'm a true blue passionate spidey fan who only wants to see the best adaptation possible, nothing more, nothing less. He knows I'm fair minded and flexible in what I like in comicbook films too. Just ask him.

Also, Tobey Maguire has himself only read the first twenty issues of Amazing or so, and he plays Spider-Man. I wouldn't accuse him of not understanding the character.

Yeah, I always like that.

X-Men: Inevitable

Spider-Man: It has one more story to tell (the wedding). After that it would probably reboot to stay fresh. "This is a story about a girl, that girl- Mary Jane Watson." Great franchise, but it needs to bring a new part of the universe into it to remain fresh- such as Peter Parker Science Teacher. Just something new to branch off from.

Superman: Singer still has a sequel to see where the franchise goes. It was a great first film, the question now is- can he do that while bringing in high adrenaline action into the mix. If the sequel fails at that- then, yes reboot. But, it's too soon to judge... quality wise it's ALOT better than a lot of other firsts, imo.

X-Men

I enjoyed the first two, but didn't care for the third... and I don't think it left many avenues open for future installments.

 

[Tempest19]

That's why when the stories that have been established in a first are clearly finish you wait a couple of years, reboot and do another take on the characters. Even if the previous films were amazing, it's just to keep it fresh. Comic books themselves have been known to do this all the time- I think these films will follow suit.

 

[Halcohol]

Godzilla
Zorro
X-Men

Wasn't Mask of Zorro sort of a reboot? I mean, I don't think they're that bad at all that they need to be redone. Godzilla on the other hand...

Ghost Rider. The first film SUCKED.

lol a movie that came out two months ago needs a reboot. Sure.

I was just going to laugh at you, but after witnessing your spat with Weyseed, I'm going to flat-out call you an idiot.

 

[Tempest19]

GR was horrible. And yeah, it DOES deserve the Hulk treatment/ semi-reboot. So, I'll call you an idiot right back for actually liking that film and thinking it got the character and his world right.

Don't necessarily need to restart the origin- but, they DO need to take a Hulk route. The film just got the character and his world WAY WAY WAY wrong. So, just like Hulk- hell, yeah, it needs to be completely recrafted. Pick up the comics- I used to at least like the film, but after seeing what GR was really like- it made me sick that the character got the treatment it recieved.

It's not that it had a lack of action or anything along those lines- it was the very take on the world itself that was wrong. There's a major difference. Superman at least got the world of some of the recent comic variations and mix with Donner's right, it just lacked the action necessary- thus it could be considered a good first film with room to grow.... it's key fundamental problem did not necessarily lie with the character or his world, but rather the amount of action. I can very easily point to a couple of Supes comics that the tone was remarklably similar to, but I highly doubt anyone will be able to do the same for GR. GR screwed the Rider's world to become a lame Scooby Doo type attempt at it. When the character really is a bad ass fighting demons- not saturday morning cartoon villains who look like they belong in a boy band rather than demonic entities.

I bring up Superman because I've heard others say that should be rebooted, while I say it was actually good for a first film- it just needs to prove it can break apart from Donner's world now and involve more action. Therefore, it at least deserves a chance- whereas GR made a mockery out of it's source material.

I'll issue you the same question that Weyseed tried to ignore, point to at least a couple of comics of Ghost Rider source material that the film resembled. And then, I might be able to take you seriously.

That should be easy enough, I mean if it does resemble a certain material it's based on. You can point to a comic, for MOST of these films and go, well- that's remarkably similar to that pannel in the comic or that tone of this branch/version of these characters. And reading the GR books I have- the recent graphic novels to the first couple of classic comics (1-10)... I frankly don't see the saturday morning cartoon take on Ghost Rider.

So you want to prove yourself worthy of calling other posters names- go and back up your beliefs. Otherwise why should I take you seriously, bub?

 

[Victarion]

I'd like a Fantastic Four reboot. My only nit to pick with the flick is Doom's origin. I wikipedia searched Doom, and his occult origin sounds quite interesting. Rather than a Norman Osborn ripoff, I'd rather the occult origin.

Don't tell me its not realistic. If we can have Hellboy, Doom can have an occult origin.

If not a reboot, then a solo Doom movie focusing on his parents and past, then him becoming Doom.

The point is, it's easier to suspend disbelief and accept that one incident occured giving people superpowers, than two seperate ones.

You honestly see campy saturday morning cartoon in that? I see it as more bad ass demon hunter hunting demonic entities. To me, GR is better suited towards R than PG-13. A Blade kind of treatment, but no need to update the character- because he's already a modern bad ass with the chains, leather jacket, bike and the types of guys I see him encounter from the comics.

Personally hated Wes Bentley, he may have ruined everything for me.

The origin was good- it's when Blackheart first appeared that things went way downhill. May have just been Bentley's atrocious acting though. Because many of his lines were WAY too over the top that it came off better on page than on screen.

So, yeah, maybe I am being too judgemental- just fire Bentley and not let him step a foot closer to the films again.

Ghost Rider has NEVER been R-Rated. I'm a huge fan of the comics, and there's nothing in ANY of them that say more than pg-13.

 

[Tempest19]

As I said, may have just been Blackheart and Bentley's horrible over the top performance.

Kind of like how the one island sequence in DMC ruined that film for me.

There were far worse things about that movie than Blackheart.

But there are things in the Daredevil comics that say R?


Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know Daredevil was more of a badass than The Rider was.

Oh, dude that would be AWESOME!

I still find it difficult to believe that the legendary Al Pacino was in a comic book film- that is still awesome to this day. t:

 

[The Batman]

The Phantom and The Shadow: I'd like to see someone modernize both these characters for today, especially the shadow

Sherlock Holmes: I'd like to see crime thrillers with Sherlock Holmes, with top notch actors and adaptions of famous stories.

Daredevil: Forget the 03' film existed and make an actual good movie this time

Robocop: Let Frank Miller helm it. Robocop couldve been a memorable franchise had 2 and 3 not screwed everything up

Green Hornet: Just to see Tony Jaa or Jet Li as a modern day Kato

[The Kid]

I'd like a star wars prequels reboot of all three of those suckers.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I'd like a star wars prequels reboot of all three of those suckers.

Why so George Lucas can f**k up the Star Wars legacy some more?

He'd do nothing but fill them with stupid CG again and wooden acting, and terrible dialogue.

We're forgetting that Turkey neck is the only man who can legally make SW movies

 

[The Kid]

Well that's the thing. The reboot would have lucas produce them but not direct them or write them so we'd get a better set of films that would make more cohesive sense than what we got.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Now that I think about it, his kids will probably remake them all in 20 years or so.

Unless Lucas uses the force to stop death.
