Unnecessary Reboot

Rating: 4/10 (23 August 2016)

So I just watched this movie on HBO Go because I initially wanted to see it but after I heard how bad it did in the theaters, I changed my mind. Since HBO was promoting it so much on HBO go I decided to give it a shot.
I wanna start off saying that when it comes to reboots I tend to do comparisons to originals which I shouldn't because it's supposed to be different but this one was completely unnecessary. The original is a classic in my book. Great story line, great cast. In this one, the whole core of the movie is changed. Bodhi and his crew are chasing to complete 8 tasks of nature to achieve complete nirvana. OK, I'm with that. Johnny Utah is now a motocross legend instead of a star quarterback. Fine, I can deal with that. But AT LEAST make the story the same! They completely slaughtered this movie.
The only reason I give it a 4/10 is because some of the actions scenes are cool. Other than that, the movie has 0 substance.
There is no love story between Utah and the new girl named Somsara? There is no relationship between Utah and Pappas (his partner?) and when members of Bodhi's crew die off, no one cares.
In my opinion, not worth your time to watch. The storyline is boring, the characters are bland and they should've left the original be.
