The Worst Big-Screen Returns of All Time

With Man of Steel on the horizon and Dredd 3D in the rear view mirror, it’s easy to find yourself thinking about some of the best and worst movies ever made where a beloved character or group of characters returned to the silver screen after a long absence.Here are some of the ones we wish we could forget.Lost in SpaceThis one’s a little tricky; the original Lost in Space wasn’t the kind of masterpiece that Superman: The Movie or Raiders of the Lost Ark were. The bar for the film adaptation wasn’t exceptionally high.The reason it seems so terrible is, frankly, that it’s hard to imagine a reason behind making that film. I mean, if you go into a pitch meeting with this movie, why would anyone give you money? Who would think they’d ever see it again? It’s not that it was as terrible as some of the others further down, but this movie really just had nothing going for it and, given that it was based on a property with not a ton of people clamoring for a film, one has to wonder whether it would have been better to just let the franchise stay retired.
