Solid Remake, Just Enjoy It For What It Is.

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2016)

I'm a huge fan of the 1991 original. It's one of my all time favorite movies actually. So of course, I had to see this remake. My advice is: Don't compare it to the original, because it's not trying to be the original, just enjoy for what it is. Why? Because it has some great action scenes that couldn't have been easy to film and clearly required a lot of effort, thinking and planning. Visually, it's quite stunning and captivating. Seeing the characters just living life and doing all these cool things in all these exotic places made me dread going back to work. Nothing beats the original, but this is also a cool movie that I'd rewatch again for the overall vibe it has and the feeling it gives you and leaves with you. Same as the first one in that regard, but minus the legendary bromance between Keanu & Swayze. The creators of this movie wouldn't have made this without being huge fans of the original, so they knew full well the task they were up to. Bottom line: Solid remake with its own cool vibe, just enjoy it without comparison.
