Yeah, it looks like the new Bond films, which I find really boring. Even just as a non remake, its not something I'd really be into. Whoa, what? Are you serious? Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But I'd hardly call Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall boring.

Which is why remaking Point Break right now is pointless. (guarantee at least one movie critic will use that line when it comes out too.) I don't really see why not. Movie budgets increased, special effects gotten better, stunts are getting bigger (they actually dropped those cars off a plane for real in Furious 7), and Swayze is dead and Keanu isn't interested. Plus it's not like lots of the Fast and Furious Films main theme was running from the law anymore but rather than working with them. So it's been a while Think Keanu lost interest after Swayze died. Originally Swayze was pushing for a sequel to be made and Keanu was all for it actually. I wish I could find that article or remember where I read it, sadly it was never meant to be.

Man I'm gonna have to say it....the original Point Break was Keanu Reeves at his best. He really is talented and that movie was almost iconic. It was super Cena over brother. Now you remake it with no demand whatsoever and the release date coincides with the release of a Star Wars film that will have the original characters in it. Doomed to fail. I could be wrong but this methodology is starting behind the 8 ball

I can't explain it, but that style just puts me out for some reason. Its like my eyes glaze over and the cacophony of CGI and stoney faced angry dudes just lull me right to sleep. I see the appeal, but its like Nyquil to me.

That's a HUGE insult to the Daniel Craig Bond movies, which have considerably better actors, directors, and everything else under the sun. Not really an insult. They're just not for me. I see the work they put into the films and can appreciate that, but overall they don't really stand out against most other action films out there. I literally, and this isn't hyperbole, have fallen asleep during all Craig Bond movies. They're largely joyless to me and nonstop action and CGI destruction, which I find boring. I go to the movies quite a bit and I've only fallen asleep ONCE, ever in my life and it was during Solace. The others I've watched at home and zonked out each time and I LOVE a good action movie, but these new Bond films just aren't something that hold my attention.

Before anyone says really or oh my god not another remake, they ready remade Point Break in 2001 just ten years after the original called The Fast and the Furious. Now it's one of the most successful film franchises of all time with each sequel more commercially and critically successful than the last one I'm sorry, man. No. That's not even close. They are not even close to the same film.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But I'd hardly call Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall boring. Oh I found Casino Royale and Skyfall to be really boring. Like Casino Royale had some good action sequences like the parkour chase but by God you have to endure so much filler and poker games with the most uninteresting plot, villains, and everyone making permanently scowling constipated faces forwards each other in between. Than Skyfall by God. It takes 75 minutes to finally introduce Javier Bardems character (QOS is 105 mins long including credits) and the director of the film chose pretentious stylized action sequences of shadows and silhouettes over excitement because he's self conscious over making a Bond film. Than once again this was the most joyless, drealy, grey, of all the Daniel Craig films were not only does every character is permanently scowling and constipated, they actually all look like they want to f***ing kill each other this time in the most passive aggressive way possible. Honestly people calling the Daniel Craig films joyless and boring is a common complaint. Hell its common for fans of Daniel Craig Bond movies to often call QOS boring. Or ones who love Casino Royale and Skyfall often call QoS boring as hell. And before you ask I like QOS. It didn't try to pretend it's not a action movie while it tried some news things to liven the franchise up like No romantic Bond girl, a direct sequel, full out revenge story that Bond was the victim, and shaky camera. Yes I know shaky camera often sucks but it was the trend of the time and Bond films has always been about copying whatever is the popular trends and genres in their movies. Skyfall was about trying to copy the Christopher Nolan Batman films (without any humour) and overly stylized but overly minimalistic "Action" films like Drive. So yeah his complaint isn't way off ordinary. I even got bored watching the Specter teaser trailer and don't expect things to improve with the same people from Skyfall making it. If they make Batista boring than they committed the ultimate crime against humanity because it's impossible to make Batista boring. He better tell Mr. Bond to suck on his balls at least

Plus their are tons of articles about it. Like this video

I am indifferent to this. Point Break's fun for what it is, and this will probably be passable. I don't really plan on watching it, so this doesn't impact me one way or another.

They are not even close to the same film. The premise is very similar, though the window dressing is quite different. Undercover guy gets involved in hobby (racing, surfing) in order to get close to criminals who perform heists. He begins to sympathize with the people he is meant to spy on and ultimately bust, and events are further complicated by falling in love with a woman in said community. It begins to diverge from there in a number of ways, but I can definitely see the comparisons, even if the overall feel of the films are different to me.

Like this video One of these films is the best piece of cinema ever created. The other is The Fast and the Furious. Anyone who makes the argument that they're similar is a fart hustler. And don't regurgitate things you hear without at least watching the source materials. It's like comparing a 48 oz porterhouse to flank steak.

Lol, this is pretty much the epitome of unnecessary remakes.

Surely this must take the record for the most pointless remake of all time.

I am more saying that while some get excited about it, I am not, but neither am I against it being made, since it's not for me, you know? I guess it could come off as more pissy than I intended it.
