Conclusion:

Most reboots are well intentioned as they offer new looks on or updates to familiar properties but the fan base may or may not embrace it.
Whenever sequels maintain respect for both the plot and the characters, and introduce new wrinkles, the results tend to be positive.

Reboots and Sequels are effective in providing powerful actions and good stories, but their effectiveness comes with the factor of innovation with a twist of the past.
