Thank you arrogant French sounding nobody for ruining my life!

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2016)

Replace the character names and the odd quote from the original and this move bears no resemblance to the original. Why call it Point Break? I get it, fans of the original will want to see it therefore income for the movie is greater however, to do this shows total disregard for the original Point break fans.
All of the characters were substandard, I mean who even were most of them?? And the supporting actors you do know (like Ray Winston) have no substance any more from numerous poor movie castings, I see pay cheque over passion, have some integrity guys! To have made a worthy remake extreme care should have been made when casting. Yes, Keanu's lack of charisma in the original is undeniable, but this only adds to his believable character as an FBI agent and creates some great character development. The main character in the remake is unconvincing, I mean - an ex-motocross rider with total disregard for safety who basically killed his friend does not strike me as someone who would want to be a police officer. He's already portrayed as a bad-ass (unconvincingly) so has no development through the movie and the acting left me with a hollow feeling of disappointment.
Bodhi - new vs old: "Bodhi" was a word that, when heard, sent me to a warm and comforting place with memories of Swayze, with his sun bleached hair striding through hot desert, or everlasting quotes like "Yo Johnny, See you in the next life", life changing! No, really, this character changed my life, he is the ultimate anti-establishment bad-ass! Now, not so much. Thank you arrogant French sounding nobody for ruining my life! This may seem like a bitter slating of a movie based on my feeling for the original, it is. Now understand where I'm coming from here, if it was a movie released independently of the original I'd probably see it worthy of 4-5 stars however, as soon as you call it Point Break you HAVE TO LIVE UP TO THE ORIGINAL, otherwise this happens – you disappoint on a cataclysmic scale.
I must leave now, I have a suicide journey planned to Angel Falls so I can kill myself like that David Guest looking bell end. "If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love" and I f'ing love to hate this movie!
