Take and epic movie and strip out everything but the name from it!

Rating: 1/10 (15 March 2016)

To say that this movie is bad would be wrong. It is such an epic pile of steaming horse manure that calling it bad would be an understatement. Now I really wanted to not let the original taint my rating on this movie and in all honesty, I watched it with an open mind.
The main issue here is that all the characters have no soul and there is no character or plot development. You have no empathy for any of the people in this movie and as a result one is just watching scenes of random action that look like cuts from other movies. The acting, like the tattoos, are bad... nay, very bad.
In addition, the plot is kind of given away in the first 10 minutes of the movies so there is absolutely no build up. It's like, here is the cool good guy and here are the cool bad guys who are really not bad but more like robin hoods of "extreme sports" (yes they use that word). The point that Bodhi was an anti-hero, someone that you hated but loved at the same time is lost here completely. This kind of screws up the dynamic of the Utah and Bodhi in the remake completely. Finally Samsara's character has absolutely no dimension to it other than trite-it- girl-tattoos! she doesn't say much and is basically just the "hot chick" in the movie.
Watch this movie, it will make you love the first one even more.
