Fortunately, these reboots of series quickly went to the scrappage

Repeating a story and continuing it at any cost, in one way or another, rarely remains a good idea. These series have confirmed this.
They almost missed all our good memories. We began to get excited, to see our nostalgia replaced by a kind of visceral disgust, and it was going to eat us from the inside. We do not say thank you to those responsible for these failed reboots. But thanks to those who promptly canceled and arrested them.
Heroes Reborn
At the beginning of the original, in 2006, the subject and the universe were unique, different. Which is a challenge today. Find an idea that does not seem to be a nth already seen a little remixed and adapted. It was even before Christopher Nolan impressed us with his Batman. Here, no cape, superhero, comic book names . For a most convincing result. So why try a reboot to 2 € in 2015? Too many characters, badly constructed more, and a villain who stinks the shit. No, no way. Phew was quickly cut short.
Beverly Hills Cop
The creators surely said, “It’s in the old pots that we make the best jams, do not we?” And hop, boom, idea of genius: to spit a police series (it is the fashion) based on the adventures of Axel Foley. This uncontrollable, crazy cop and yet effective, embodied Eddy Murphy in movies 90s . Except that there, the plan was to do something with Shawn Ryan, creator of “The Shield”, “The Chicago Code” and “Last Resort”. That is, serious and dramatic stuff. A hair opposite the original spirit, mid-comedy-mi action. We escaped, thank you.
$ 200 plus expenses
In the 1970s, this former detainee who was the victim of a miscarriage of justice who became a private detective was successful. Then the NBC, in search of program, said: why not? Produced by Steve Carrell, the series would have installed Dermot Mulroney as protagonist. Above all, the series ( “The Rockford Files” in VO) was intended household 50, bah yeah, meanwhile, since their twenties, they have aged , like everyone else. Fortunately, the pilot was so faulty that the guys ended the delirium right away. Without being a businessman, because some would like to make a film, with Vince Vaughn.
The Osbournes
After four seasons to follow the lively life of the rocker’s family, we had more or less made the tour. Well, we’re not going to lie. The episodes had already been going on for so long. Shit, I said aloud. In short, in 2015, to celebrate the tenth anniversary, the creators were sure we wanted to start again, we expected a reboot . No. Ozzy has not done anything since, his children logically barred from the family home, Sharon and Kelly are working on another series … And then no, we just did not feel like it. No need for explanations.
Funny ladies
The 1970s (Charlie’s Angels) was a boxboard, and the films that were drawn afterwards respected the spirit. Some pretty girls, but not that. Of humor, an alchemy between them, a charismatic boss, nested stories … In 2011, ABC has managed to collect three actually beautiful women. But otherwise, move along, there’s nothing to see . Besides, the viewers have circulated on their own, without further ado, rather quickly. So much so that the series was stopped after only four episodes.
The Flintstones
The creator of “American Dad”, “Les Griffin” (“Family Guy” in VO) was hot. Boiling. Seth MacFarlane had always loved the Flintstones, so bringing his paw in a reboot was a big challenge. And a pleasure. Unless one knows his penchant for humor and the construction of a family in the grip of a father a tad heavy . Then the director of the Fox told him the bottom of his thoughts about his plans for Caillouville: “it’s going, but I’m not a fan”. Basically. End of the story. Finally, it’s not bad plans that fall to the water sometimes?

To the devil the zeal, the seriousness of each moment, the frozen face. When they resemble us, joking, cracking, missing, we adore them. The proof with these films.
Hot Fuzz
Too good and effective, Nicholas Angel saves everyone in London. So to be quiet, his colleagues and superiors send him to Sandford, in open country. A village where there is no tail dale and especially where the police do as little as possible, leaving people to act as they choose, forgiving small offenses. Nicholas teamed up with Danny, a tough bachelor who dreams of crazy missions, so he’ll coach him to make him a pro like him . Before they come across a most serious matter! On the menu: parodies of successful classics, jokes potaches, exaggerated bloodshed …
Bad Boys
Ah Mike and Marcus, sacred duo. Everything contrasts them: the physical appearance, the working methods, the way of life. So inevitably, their relationship is never of any rest and you have the impression of seeing an old couple. They still agree on one thing: chop the mobsters and celebrate it as it should be . So, they are ready for anything, like exchanging their identities (in the first episode of the saga), taking a bullet in the ass (Marcus), typing sick pursuits, rolling on a shanty town in a yellow hummer In the 2) … The guys force, without stopping. Both in the 1 and the 2.
The fatal weapon
A classic, surely even the classic. The one that inspired all the others, including “Bad Boys” of which we have just spoken. Two guys find themselves working together and on paper, it looks complicated. Roger Murtaugh celebrates his 50th birthday, is married and has three kids. Martin Riggs is young, widowed and has no fear . Investigating the death of a young woman (daughter of a Roger’s friend), they suspect something far more shady. The scenes of action are mythical, as are the dialogues and the famous “I’m too old for this bullshit” Roger. And that is that the 1. There are four to watch in everything.
The Nice Guys
The opportunity to see Ryan Gosling playing a big loser. Alcoholic, depressed, hustler, he plays Holland March, a private detective, who investigates to find a certain Amelia, following the murder of a porn actress . What does not please this lady who hires Jackson Healy (Russel Crowe), a brute, to break his mouth and calm him down a bit. But when Amelia disappears, the two begin to work together to continue the investigation. As best they could.
Beverly Hills cop
Eddy Murphy has its peak, you can watch all the movies in the saga without ever getting tired of it. It is also because he is very well surrounded and we have before us, not a duo, but a trio of cops who do not care about everything. Last but not least Axel Foley and Billy Rosewood. The more embarrassed they are, the bigger the guns, the more they go . And you have the third thief, John Taggart, who follows, never able to calm them down, who complains before cracking and participating in the party. And there are some unforgettable punchlines. And hop, three movies to watch.
21 Jump Street
Two champions who must help each other and associate to present a passable profile. T’as Morton, the big one, no one in the physical tests but intelligent, and Greg, the opposite. When they meet at the police school, seven years after high school, they understand that they need each other to graduate. Once that is done, after a first missed mission, they are sent to a high school to chop a dealer. Apprentice wizards who improvise and count (a little too much) on luck so that everything goes without a hitch. And they are being lectured by a superior who discovers that they put more eagerness to pass for cool guys and kiffer to the maximum this second passage in the lycee than to advance the investigation.
Rush Hour
When the Chinese Consul’s daughter, Han, was kidnapped, he immediately thought of Inspector Lee. One of the best elements of the Hong Kong police and especially the former personal bodyguard of the girl, Soo Yung. Except that the Ricans do not like to be allowed to do their job, then the FBI swings in James Carter’s paws. More clown than cop, Carter occupies Lee as he can … until Lee escapes and meets the consul . On mission, Lee will have to catch Carter who finally takes the game. Except to ruin plan A of the FBI. Kung-fu, pretension, mouth-fucking (Lee frees nothing to English), mutual aid, a slow understanding of everyone’s world: there is everything and it works. So, two other films will follow to go up to three episodes the saga. What movie makes you laugh most?
