Reboot, Reboot, and Reboot?

[calnbs]

I definitely want them to reboot "The Count of Monte Cristo" and for the love of God, please stick to the original story. WTF was that crap on the last movie?

I wouldn't mind if they reboot Star Wars as well and not make it so childish and cheesy.

I think a Star Wars reboot would be harder to do. This is because it was a fairly recent iconic movie. As well as the detail that through the Disney buyout and announced new films in the saga and spin-offs. It will be hard to do that. Think of people thinking Superman as Christopher Reeves still and not either man from Superman Returns or Man of Steel. There's a lot of people across the generations that think that. The Star Wars movies (and Indiana Jones series) are too iconic that you have to overcome that and the fact there new people in the roles that are different than the original (at least in Amazing Spiderman they had Spiderman's other main girlfriend as the love interest so you couldn't compare her to Kirsten Dunst.)

I don't mind reboots when the franchise is killed by a bad movie in the series (note: Phantom Menace doesn't count because it was a good movie, not just a great movie like the other in the Star Wars series.) I mean Batman was dead from Batman & Robin (I personally didn't mind it) but then Nolan came along with Begins and boom, it was hot again.

True, trying to reboot something as iconic like Star Wars is going to be very tough, almost impossible. I guess that is why they haven't rebooted Wizard of Oz.
