PROLOGUE to June Reviews:
Before I return later this month
(between the June prequel & sequel)
… I would like to go over 1 thing…
“What exactly is a ‘REBOOT’”
(The Incredible Hulk movie is a REBOOT)…
Well, explained by itself, its hard to get sometimes...
But used with other movies, you should get it.
Definition Alone:
A (film / movie) REBOOT is a “re-start”, “re-do”, “do-over”.
More or less, “a 2nd shot” for a movie.
*Not* to be confused with the term “REMAKE”.
A remake is done when a movie is excellent and loved by many.
A reboot is done when a movie sucked and was loathed by most.
In Short:
A) Remake = We can still make this movie again just as good if not better!
Reboot = We’re sorry, heres a *better* movie (because we couldn’t do any *worse*).
B) Remake = a movie to make you remember w/ joy where it came from.
Reboot = a movie to make you forget w/ ease where it came from.
Compared To Other Movies ( IE: ):
A) Batman Begins (2005) was a reboot to erase Batman & Robin (1997).
B) Superman Returns (2006) is a SEQUEL – reboot to erase Superman III & IV.
C) & The Incredible Hulk is a reboot to erase HULK (2003)
