Let's step it up a bit. Who do you think should be cast in the role? And what other franchises could use a reboot?

It's an interesting list... but I'm guessing it's a matter of taste in some of these cases? If a Hollywood movie has been released in the last 10 years, I'm not sure it needs a 'reboot' to remain 'fresh'. That being said, sometimes a movie is bad enough that fans immediately wish for another version to be released... ;)

Ha, so true, did anyone besides me see Dolph Lungrens Punisher flick? Wow, even as a big Frank Castle supporter, that was pretty bad  :o

i vaguely remember it but then again, doesnt dolph lungren play nearly the exact same role in every movie that it gets difficult to determine which one is which unless you keep track of who he is avenging?

What if??-  Aquaman saves the group of people stuck in the submarine on the ocean floor in "The Last Resort" show? haha

I could go for a sequel to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Green Lantern could be cool if they introduce a few other characters into the movie. Reynolds wasn't great, but he'll do with the right supporting actors. I enjoyed the first Fantastic Four, but the second was pretty slow & dul for an action movie. No more of those needed either IMO.

Other than that I'd say Punisher has had enough chances. Blade was already a fairly successful few movies, and with all the vampire stuff out there already, we really don't need another.

NO to -Rocketeer, Catwoman, Elektra, Shadow & the others!

I'd rather see some new innovation instead of new versions of old movies. Especially if they aren't going to top the original!!

Honestly one of my favorite characters is the Silver Surfer and I was kinda bummed when they just made him a side character in the 2nd Fantastic Four movie... it would be nice to see him get his own movie... I like how he's so dramatic and almost Shakespearean in the older comics... althought that might not go over so well with audiences now, lol.... 8)
Also, am I the only one who could see Michelle Rodriguez playing Wonder Woman? She could kick AZZ unlike most of the Hollywood actresses today...

I totally agree! I was so looking forward to the Silver Surfer in FF2, but was disappointed with the movie overall. The SS character wasn't bad, they just didn't do enough with it.

Not sure on Michelle Rodriguez as Wonder Woman, but I would love to see Eureka's Erica Cerra play the part! ;) She kicks butt & looks great doing it!

I was far more agast at what that movie did to Galactus. Turning one of the best villians in the Marvel universe into a giant cloud is inexcusable (I really don't want to hear about the Ultimate Marvel universe either, the majority of that is garbage.)
