Comparison To Remakes
The term remake applies to films which use a previous film as its main source material, often reusing the same storyline while updating times and places to match contemporary settings, such as 1998's A Perfect Murder or 2001's Ocean's Eleven, whereas the term reboot is ascribed to film series such as Police Story (rebooted in the 2004 film New Police Story), Batman (2005's Batman Begins), James Bond (2006's Casino Royale), Star Trek (the 2009 Star Trek film - though still in the existing Star Trek canon, but in an alternate universe), Spider-Man (2012's The Amazing Spider-Man),, Scary Movie (2013's Scary Movie 5), and Superman (2013's Man of Steel).

Famous quotes containing the words comparison to, comparison and/or remakes:
“In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
—Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
“[Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“With spring the father-sky remakes the world:
The male shower has flowed into the bride,
Earth’s body; then shifted through sky and sea and land
To touch the quickening child in her deep side.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
