I think, I'd have to go with the the Planet of the Apes trilogy starring Andy Serkis, since it fits a criterion of a being successful reboot. By the same criterion, King Kong being integrated into the kaijuverse (with Godzilla) is a sort of signal of a successful reboot. (In a sense, Man of Steel and The Incredible Hulk fit.) X-Men: First Class fits too or so it seemed, but many (myself included) weren't too happy with it and noticed that it wound up being a soft reboot, like how a retcon aspect itself is subject to retcon or at the very least explanation. What I'm using as the "criterion" is the fact of whether or not a so-called "reboot" consists of more than one movie, since the whole point the word being used in the context of movie franchises is that the studio starts over the universe within a story with the intention of keeping it going for a while, rather than simply remaking the original, re-adapting the novel or retelling the historical event every forty years or so. Otherwise, I should point out that Dredd and Fury Road are two of my favorites in the list.
