Last Movie You Watched

I think X-Men need a reboot. First Class was limited by trying to fit the continuity of the first film, which was mired in the timidity of the early comic book movie renaissance. I want an X-film that doesn't temper the insanity. I want a whole plotline about how Cyclop's dad left him to become an outer space pirate.
the prophecy is true

The more I see The Wolverine the more I like it.

Pac Rim is terrible, but it's not an Evangelion ripoff. That notion really needs to go away.

Haven't seen DoFP, but by my understanding it is a reboot.

People's deaths are to be mourned. The ability to save people should be celebrated. Life itself should be exalted. -- Volken Macmani, Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
I hate myself. But maybe I can learn to love myself. Maybe it's okay for me to be here! That's right! I'm me, nothing more, nothing less! I'm me. I want to be me! I want to be here! And it's okay for me to be here! -- Shinji Ikari, Neon Genesis Evangelion
Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

I think it's more of Retcon Good Sir, Reboots tend to have new actors fill previous roles held by other actors. Here's what wiki has to say.

Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short,[1] is the alteration of previously established facts in the continuity of a fictional work.[2]
There are various motivations for retconning. The changes may occur to accommodate sequels or derivative works, allowing newer authors or creators to revise the diegetic (in-story) history to include a course of events that would not have been possible in the story's original continuity. Retcons allow for authors to reintroduce popular characters and resolve errors in chronology.
Retcons are common in pulp fiction, especially comic books published by long-established publishers such as DC, Marvel, and leading manga publishers. The long history of popular titles and the number of writers who contribute stories can often create situations that demand clarification or revision. Retcons also appear in soap operas, serial dramas, movie sequels, professional wrestling angles, video games, radio series, and other forms of serial fiction.
Science fiction writers are occasionally confronted with new scientific developments which disprove assumptions made in a previous story or book. For some of these cases, no amount of retconning could "save" a story – for example, many early works of science fiction assumed that Venus was a watery planet – but in many other cases, clever retconning allows the story to retain scientific plausibility under the new conditions.

Reboots can also be retcons (see Star Trek). If you reset history in a franchise you've essentially rebooted it.

They're not that bad. They're pretty decent if you're familiar with the original source material. It's now just more geared towards the general audience.
If you still want to enjoy the original timeline, Star Trek: Online continues with after Nero's Incursion after Romulus's destruction in the original universe.

The new Star Trek movies have a lot of the feel of the better films/better parts of the TV show without the ponderous heaviness of Commander French Englishman and his crew of misfits aboard a heavily armed outer space minivan.
I like Next Generation and always will but it doesn't really translate to movies and Trek got too full of itself and too fanboyish towards the end.
