Rebooting a comicbook franchise causes mix feelings in comicbook fans, and reviewers; Some, like me, are excited because we personally do not feel like waiting 10 years to see one of our favorite comicbook characters, who's trilogy just ended, back on the big screen. Some people hate them, because they feel the original or the latest version is "too perfect" and "shouldn't be touched." I do not blame anyone for how they feel about reboots, but you must learn how to review them.
The reason why people, like me, enjoys reboots, is because we love to see other people visions of our favorite superheroes, and we do not like waiting years and years before we get too. If the Batman reboot were to come out next year, I'd be super happy, because I do not feel like waiting 10 years for a reboot because some fans and critics thought the original was "too perfect." Nothing will happen to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy just because a reboot exist, and that's the way I look at it. I've actually been in a lot of argument over this with the upcoming The Crow reboot. Yes the original was amazing, but it will still be amazing even if a good or bad reboot exist.
The Amazing Spider-Man a reboot to Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, has had a lot of mixed feelings with the fans and critics. The majority of those who do not like the film, will bring up and/or compare the film to Raimi's Spider-Man. They say "It's way too early for a Spider-Man reboot" which yes it was a little early, but Sony had no plans of giving Spider-Man back to Marvel, so they had to act quick and I don't blame them. Even with the early rebooting and the reasoning behind rebooting, The Amazing Spider-Man is still not Raimi's Spider-Man and should not even be compared. The Amazing Spider-Man wasn't a bad film because Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was great, but many cannot see it this way. The same thing is happening with Man of Steel right now, but mostly from the critics. Zack Snyder's Superman is not Donner's Superman, so no comparisons should be made. Man of Steel is not a bad film because Donner's Superman films were great. I'm not one of those people that hate Superman Returns, but I watched Man of Steel for the first time today and it is a shame to say that on RT the score for Superman returns is higher than Man of Steel's.
At the end of the day, if your judgment over a film will be clouded due to the fact that it's a reboot, just do not see the film. Adding undeserved negativity to the film, because you never planned to like the film to begin with, shows a great amount of immaturity from those that do it. We all just need to grow up, and accept the fact that reboots will exist, they must be reviewed fairly, and if you can't find yourself to do it, their is no need for you to make anymore reason for yourself to hate it, by seeing the film.
