They could have called it "Extreme Crime" with two lead characters called "Dave" and "Steve" and a group of thieves called "The Masked Thieves" and it would not change the film significantly.
I never understand the point of remaking a film when the original still holds up today and the remake adds nothing innovative at all, not only to the original, but the genre in general. As I pointed out earlier, this is just another movie that looks and sounds like every other generic action movie released today. There's no creativity to it at all. It's like rewriting a novel by simply changing the cover slightly.

"Point Break" already has name recognition so they've already got a chunk of the marketing costs covered.

Will they all be wearing masks of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama in this one?

Hasn't got Lori Petty in her prime so not interested, had such a crush on her in the 90s Tank Girl was hella underrated. Re: Daniel Craig's style of Bond: it's partially due to influence from the Bourne series and also a reaction to how poorly received Die Another Day was- fans and critics felt it was too overblown and had too many bad aspects from the Moore Bonds, hence why they went so hard in the "stripped down" direction (and funny enough, Moore heaped a bunch of praise on Craig when Casino Royale came out). Solace is garbage, but Royale and Skyfall were fun IMO. The new Point Break? That's that shit I don't like.

Okay, I am not sure why I am posting this considering the backlash that the first trailer received, but for some reason, the latest trailer looks SOMEWHAT interesting:
Then again, I am open to see it mostly out of curiosity.

I'm sorry, man. No. That's not even close. They are not even close to the same film. This reminds me of a thread that I did in November 2011. Here is exactly what you wrote: It was from this thread right here.Lol. Classic.
