I don't like reboots. I like the build-up of history in long series. However, I must agree that this does not apply to all movies.

The first Hulk sucked deeply, so did the original Spider-Man trilogy and I'm glad they rebooted.

The original Batman series has simply become too long and thus a reboot was a good idea (and I agree it is a first class trilogy).

However, none of these applies to X-men. I enjoyed it a lot and despite some minor visual inconsistencies, I think the series holds together nicely. I would really love to finally see a continuation of X3.

They did an interesting thing in the latest Bond: it is at the same time a conclusion and a reboot of the whole series. Wonderfully circular.
