Comparing Reboots

Thirty years ago, in the ancient age of the 1980s, it seemed like once a movie franchise was done, it was done. Nobody immediately threw on Superman’s red cape after Christopher Reeve’s final outing. RoboCop got three movies and then was put out of commission for decades. As soon as a series had worn out its welcome, Hollywood moved on to the next big thing. But not these days. Now everything old is new again really, really quickly, thanks to reboots!
