... View MoreThe much sought answer lies right here, look no further, in the NU Point Break! This is my second review on this film, now I know its broaching IMDB propriety, but I say to hell with the rules, its Point Fn Break! I watched both last night, and since I've seen the first a zillion times, I started the affair with the second, so let me throw some things straight up...the lil' bank scene here , was so replete with everything one could desire that it felt like that ordeal in HEAT, but this was in seconds, and it was beautiful.... To go back in time to do complete all the ordeals here, its poetry , This felt like Point break not on steroids but pumped up with some good ol' fashion hormones , and god knows what else, everything under the kitchen sink! this is a thematic Point break wholly inclusive in its single aim, to satisfy everyone, not just the exclusive fans of the first, daresay glorious and beautiful in its callow pretext, OK, look , I give everything a ten because god knows what it takes to make a film, but I keep it real with words, but what are words when action can speak on a monumental level and this point break speaks boundless smashing all levels right in our faces and they did it with style beyond style, and yes there is only one Bodie, but this guy did a great job respectively knowing the shoes he was trying to fill the beloved role we all know and love, and yes Utah here and now that role is not irreplaceable, but both are excellent Keanu and this new Kenau I don't know his name but did a stellar job indeed , but while Keanu or rather his stunt guy was smashing a few windows and spitting into lawnmowers , come on, credit is due were its due , this is on a whole new level meritorious indeed, jumping off cliffs, motorcycling off cliffs into lil' mountains, climbing up god knows what and then jumping off, flying a supersonic speeds inches above ground, and more all fraught with not just cool dialogue but universal and inclusive in its learned profundity, stellar writing! So no, nobody rides for free, this point break took the lil' bebe shoes of old and stepped it up on the level of Mount Olympus with the gods for the gods, we were just there for the ride and whether for free we payed with this super insane over the top old-school narly into the new world radical stellar affair, and I think if the real Bowdie were here, god rest Patrick's soul, yes we love him, I yet daresay Bowdie up in the sky or whatever parallel universe he is riding some big ass waves surely, is looking at this here Bowdie and smiling , maybe saying something like Goddamn, my Point break combined with this new one is a perfect ending to a radical life , free yourselves of the past guys, and keep riding the big ass ride , for free or not, cause I know I payed with my nerves trying to keep up with all this incredibly fun harebrained madness!
... View MoreThe original Point Break (1991) had something special and unique about it, from the performances to the overall action, mystery and suspense. However, this remake, a lot of what made the original great is missing and non existent. The lack of suspense and thrills is gone, as well as the overall charm. It isn't nearly as enjoyable and witty like the original and makes us wonder as to why this film was remade. We all knew they would not top the original, especially given the cast but this remake could have been a lot better. Overall, Point Break (2015) is bland, generic and quite a waste of time. Disappointed, this film is as bad as critics and fans are saying.
... View MoreThis film was dreadful. The original was a timeless classic, and did not need to be re-made! That being said, I was somewhat curious about this movie, but when I got round to watching it(hoping it would at least be entertaining) I was fuming! This has to be one of the worst films ever made! For those of you that love the original, please don't waste your time with this. The acting is awful, there is no chemistry, and here is the funny bit, the original is called point break, as the ex presidents are surfers, that stick to a particular point break. This one has one surf scene, which lasts about 90 seconds.
... View MoreIn my 40 years of movie watching I have never ever seen such a bad re-make. If this was a Stand Alone movie it would still only just be watchable. If extreme sports are your thing and story is not an issue then you may enjoy it (just), the set pieces are terrible, the acting is macho (to the point of What Is This Movie about, just be a man and it will be OK). The movie's CGI is good (what else would you expect from this budget). I hope I am not alone in thinking "what did they do to the script?" "What did they do!" Everything that could have made this re-make bad they did! 10 fold! I hope in the coming years this is done with the panache and grittiness the original did so well.
