Why didn't Marcus Aurelius didn't want his son to be the emperor?

The idea that he did not want his son to succeed him is not based on historical fact, but on two Hollywood movies (´The fall of the Roman Empire´ and ´Gladiator´). In those movies it was said that he wanted to give the succession to a stepson because his natural son was feeble-minded.
In actual fact however he had already appointed his son Commodus as co-Emperor during his lifetime and he appointed Commodus as his successor. After Marcus Aurelius´ death Commodus ruled for 12 years before being assassinated.
