So far the only thing I’ll ever say was a good reboot was the 2nd Jumanji movie. The one that came after that is a shameless cash grab with little to no soul, but the other one was actually pretty decent.
They didn’t pull a Star Wars and take the best parts of the previous movies to make a new film. They didn’t make it overly cringe or completely dumb it down to the point of being nothing at all like the original. And they tried something new instead of just re-creating the original but only changing the time period and characters.
So it was only mediocre? I can’t personally speak to it as I only saw the original, but this is hardly a ringing endorsement for reboots as a whole, or even that specific one.

Off the top of my head: Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica.
Fair.
And the first few Mission: Impossible movies. They were a reboot of a 70s show.
Had no idea since I’ve never seen any of them. Closest I ever came was having a PS1 Mission Impossible game and never making it past the start.
Ahhh the video game wasn’t that good. The first and imo especially the second film was amazing.
You’re comparing movies to sitcoms.
It’s the best reboot example I have because all others I’ve seen suck. I don’t have any other point of reference for good reboots other than Jumanji.
