Those two movies weren't set up to fail. They had what you say matters - explosions and action setpieces. They had lucrative summer release dates. They had huge stars and huge advertising pushes. Yet, they still failed.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that reboot = failure. This is a demonstrably false assumption. And why part of why Spider-Man 4 wasn't made is because Spider-Man 3 tainted the franchise's name.

Did the public like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Its user ratings of 5.9 at IMDb and 5.6 at Metacritic would disagree with that.

You can't really talk about another's argument being flawed when yours isn't even based on evidence. But what should I expect; you don't know what sources are to begin with.
