[Unnecessary Cinema] A Bunch of Nobody's Remake Kathryn Bigelow's 90s Classic 'Point Break'

Just made me realize how heavily The Fast and Furious borrowed from Point Break

Just bend the ending toward the 'villians' more

I was thinking the same thing. For a second, somewhere around the "I need more time" line, I thought I was watching a trailer for a remake of the original The Fast and the Furious.

 

Plerase don't get me started on Kathryn Bigelow...

 

Reminds me a bit of XXX with Vinny Diesel.

 

Hollywood is so out of ideas LMAO

 

Irony within irony. No matter how many action set pieces or stunt work in this new movie, I'm sure they won't have classic lines like these:

i would not paddle to new zealand to see this.

 

Fukk this remake man!

 

point break. the movie that made me wish i grew up in california and not texas.

 

i hate this remake so much its like acid in my mouth.

 

f*** that brah! never wish you did not grow up in texas! swayz-dog is texan and he is bodhi (and f***ing dalton)!

STAND TALL AND STAND PROUD LIKE TEXAN PATRICK SWAYZE!!!

 

Yo for real. What straight garbage, again with Hollywood, arrgghhh!!!!

 

This looks fine, actually a pretty good augmentation of the original concept with a bigger budget.

 

texas is a big place. and im assuming you didnt grow up in the crap town that is brenham.

 

Another example of Hollywood appearing bankrupt of original ideas. The original Point Break is a terrific film. Sure, it has its silly moments, but for the genre, it's very well done, much of it is beautifully filmed by Ms. Bigelow. At the time of its release it was quite original for an action flick. How about leaving it alone and, dare I say it, attempt an original idea. If that seems impossible, at least borrow the plot wholesale, if you must, but don't call it Point Break. You're simply spinning a broken record that can't touch what came before. Like much of today's music. I'll wait until it ends up on cable, and when I'm very bored late one night, find out just how much this travesty sucks.

 

Remakes have been present since the early days of Hollywood. There are only so many story and character archetypes.

It shouldn't be seen to be any different to the many productions of the same play in theatre.

 

this does not even seem like a remake though. the names are the same, but it is a totally different plot/story-line. "point break" was a surf reference and there does not appear to be surfing in this movie. no ex-presidents either. and no anthony keidis...back off warchild, seriously.
