Point Break 2015 - Movie Review 

Point Break is one of the all time classic action movies. This remake...as far as I'm concerned it didn't happen. I don't plan on seeing it, ever.

Pappas was one of the best things of the original! He really loved his meatball sandwiches! Utah get me two!

Recipe for Point Break remake: 1 part Point Break 1 part Quantum of Solace 1 part Die Hard 5 Season with the tears shed at The Phantom Menace's premier. Mix until the good aspects have separated from the bad, then drain off the good. Bake at a temperature hot enough to melt steel beams. Finally, throw that in the trash and order a pizza, because you're a terrible cook!

And Kathryn Bigelow directed the original and she knew how to get good work from her cast. Plus Keanu, Swayze & Busey made that movie fun

Gary Busey wasn’t Utah’s contact in the original, he was his partner. Huge difference.

Law Abiding Citizen is supremely underrated

Question I am just wondering can you do a video about law abiding citizen because I like that movie I was just wondering what was the original ending to that movie please

I'm guessing that by showing a picture of Tyler rock climbing as you say something happens is that she dies climbing. The biggest mistake of this is that they didn't realise that the main pull of the original was the star power of Reeves and Swayze at the time. Ramirez is still not well known and I couldn't pick the guy that played Utah out of aline up.

Great review men, you save me from boredom. Thanks and keep up with the good work!

I don't even bother to see remakes in the theater again.. After Total Recall I was like "What am I doing here"?

The original is one of my all-time favourites. The first time I saw the trailer, I was horrified - what you described in this video is what I was expecting. And hipsters. Why replace surfers with hipsters? When you said the script was written by the same guy who did the Total Recall remake - it all made sense why it looked so bad.

In the original, Brodhi was a villain that you really couldn't hate. Loved it.

Kurt wimmer also wrote Salt. An underrated action flick

Could you possibly do an exploring video on The Dead Next Door?

Thanks for the review. I appreciate you taking the time to see the film and let us know whether it's even worth the price of a movie ticket.

It tickles me when a youngster thinks this is a rip off of The Fast And The Furious.

Speaking of Law Abiding Citizen, you ever think of spotlighting that on an "Exploring..." video or a straight up "Good Bad Flicks" episode? It got a lotta hate from critics, and I really don't know why. Gerard Butler was OUTSTANDING as was Jamie Foxx (Never understood why he got so much hate)

The already was a remake. In 2001. It was called "The Fast and The Furious"

when I saw the trailer it broke my heart to see Edgar Ramirez and the guy from The Departed in this trash...

I know there are always remakes and readaptation, and I have no problem with that. Some of my favourite movies ever are remakes (Cronenberg's Fly, Carpenter's Thing, etc.), and I've very much enjoyed a lot of the current spate. But I'm not crazy, right..? It was never like this before..? I mean, in the 1990s there was no aggressive push to reproduce every single thing filmed in the 1960s and '70s. They _were_ doing remakes of that stuff, but it was always a healthy ratio that was generally new material; all the stuff we are retreating now. It's especially pointless when they get to movies like Point Break or RoboCop, or properties like Watchmen; stories that are *so* of their times. These stories were organically created from the ground up, under whatever particular circumstances, to satisfy their concept or thesis, and to make some comment on the time in which they were conceived. Cynically trying to "update" them merely for the name brand recognition cache these stories have (because they were good, and original, and had passion) for people is putting the horse before the cart. Add in all the obstacles modern studios set up for themselves right from jump to satisfy the broadest possible market so they have a hope of recouping the budget they're investing, and it's no wonder the majority of these things turn out so forgettable. Either generate new material or, if you must do this, give these projects to people who care about them, and maybe take a risk every now and again. I have to repeat myself and say that this is the way many of the source movies earned their way into our hearts in the first place, to have cultivated that fondness we have for them that you're intent on exploiting.

Looking forward to a supercut where Utah '91, Danny Butterman & Utah 2015 fire their guns in the air & go "Aaaah".

Don't worry Cecil, I have no intentions of seeing this remake. So far, none of the video reviewers here on You Tube likes this movie. A couple of them have it on their Worst Movie of 2015 lists. Have a Merry New Year!!!

They already remade point break it was called 'The Fast and the Furious' in 2001 - and it was pretty good.

I'm suprised they didn't put Gary Busey's son in the movie.

Sometimes i think they enjoy loosing money on bad remakes.

Like I said on Twitter (MrBrian64,) how long is it till we get a remake of something sacred, like BTTF or Pulp Fiction?

Two movies I always thought were "unremakable" were Point Break and Scarface "1983" what the actors captured on screen was irreplaceable but we live on planet earth and there's always gonna be someone who wants to fuck up good things for profit.

Pointless Remake™

I'd be interested to hear you talk about recent remakes you do like. I for one enjoyed the remakes of Robocop and Oldboy, but I realize I'm in the minority there.

6:25 Agreed I always felt he could a lot better films then remakes IMO! Awesome job Cecil

Point Break didn't need a second remake anyways, it already had Fast and the Furious as a remake. They trade surf boards for cars, but it is all the same at its core.

I hate hipsters and shitty remakes putting them together is just a bad idea.

Did you spot James Le Gros (Roach in the original) as an FBI bureaucrat?

I'm just going to pretend that this movie doesn't exists...

Keanu looks a little bit like Michael Paré on the poster, or is it just me?

I wasn't expecting anything from this, but I was really surprised that given how much action there was, it was super dull and devoid of energy.

The silliness of remaking it. The original is a good enough movie, and there really isn't new technology that would add to it, no swapping from black and white to color level of upgrade. So the odds of matching, let alone improving, on the original are next to none. You're better off taking the core concept, and making your own movie. You know, like "The Fast and the Furious" did.

I respect you for even watching it. I completely checked out after the trailer. Point Break is lightning in a bottle. Classic film.

Saw this in 3D after seeing Star Wars in 3D. Thank god I didn't pay one red cent. The movie literally put me to sleep.....lifeless movie.

Bottom line: There was absolutely zero need for a remake. I’m glad it failed and I hope all unneeded remakes fail as well.

since you mentioned the total recall remake in this review and how bad it is, well to me its like deus ex the movie, like i only watch it for like 30mins right when jessica biel comes into the picture then i just stopped, like the new robocop movie is a pretty damn good remake, and think our lucky stars there is no mention of delta city in that remake because that was a sub plot that just went know where in the original films, and also on a final note, sony pictures is pitching ideas for a new robocop sequel.

Law Abiding Citizen is the one movie that makes me the angriest. I hate the ending so much I still rant about it from time to time. Worst ending ever!

I don't understand your hate with Total Recall, even though both films are very bad and pointless, at least they were trying to do something new with it (they failed at doing it right though) and it had some pretty entertaining action scenes while point break was just an extreme sports film with the point break name slapped on it. Still love you though!!

The arrogance is astounding. "Hey, remember that movie that was basically perfect? Yeah, I can improve it." Five bucks says they're going to remake "Bullitt" with The Rock as the lead.

Great review man and i agree this remake is just so lazy why was this even made in the first place but that's just my opinion

Utah!!!! ........ Get me two!!!

"Hey why are we going to blow up a gold mine again?" Extreme environmentalism bro

Try Big game! It's frankly entertaining.

I'll never understand why they think they can take great movies and make them better. Or even match them for that matter.

2:47 The right one looks like Vladimir Putin and not any US president that i know of.

So, Teresa Palmer was better in Warm Bodies than this?, I guess you can say that rigor mortis set in in this movie too?

I thought the movie was great and is a worthy remake, that being said it's a pointless remake and some characters were wasted but apart from that it was pretty good.

I knew Point Break would be bad I KNEW ET, I KNEW ET

Oh boy, I think I am going absolutely loathe this movie when Neflix sends it to me tomorrow. Oh well maybe something like the audio will sound awesome or the visuals will look good. Oh good grief this is PG13, gat dammit stop the insanity!!!

Hey no salt

This was just a long Red Bull video.

Horrible re-make. Ruined it.

I didn't like the Total Recall remake.

Saw this Cecil guy in a documentary about 80s movies. Some advice guy...learn to stare straight ahead when talking so you don't look like an eight year old nervously trying to explain why you pissed the bed.

This is a little bit funny to me. The 'Point Break'-formula should almost guarantee success. They copied this formula exactly to the first Fast and Furious-movie. This one also was an success. Now how do you so bad with a remake.

Contact? Partner.

I'm guessing that the girlfriend dies. I'm not going to see the movie anyway; so I don't care if it gets spoiled for me.

In other words, nostalgia cash grab, as usual!

What's the point of remaking an awesome movie?

I thought that chick was Kristen Stewart at first

Remake for the ADHD 3-second attention span crowd...

Bland Remake Forgettable a Lackluster

"at least the Point Break remake wasn't as bad as the Total Recall remake," really isn't saying much haha, it was such a horrible cash grab, and the original was so amazing

I'll never see this movie, remakes are so played out, so tired.

Waste of $100 Million again....

It was super cheesy

Remaking this movie was the dumbest idea ever. The original is s classic. This was absolute shit.

well....you just like bad movies, not remakes. lol although, you liked terminator 5 :/

Lol best action movies. Its campy as hell and stupid. Its got some good qualities but its bad

R or PG-13?

:D

there was a remake before that one. the fast and the furious

I like the Total Recall remake better than the original. Definitely in the minority on that one :)

im actually really surprised with your opinion on total recall remake. that movie gets undeserved hate in my opinion. the visuals alone in that movie were worth the ticket. the effects were all very good. it was fast paced and exciting. i feel if they woulda removed the nods to total recall and just made it something original that movie would not be hated on so much.

I'll never see Point Break. I own the original, I seen it on Christmas Day.

What's wrong with the remake of Total Recall? It was so much better than Law Abiding Citizen. THAT was a piece of crap!

I don't care what anybody says total recall remake was better then the original. I don't understand the hate

It's been nearly 9 years since this remake came out and I've never seen it. I never plan to see it and it all stems from one particular line of the movie shown in the trailer where Utah says "like me, these guys are extreme athletes." Don't know why but i just thought that was the douchiest line I've ever heard. What interest I may have had to see this was completely lost because of that

The original is one of my all-time favourites. The first time I saw the trailer, I was horrified - what you described in this video is what I was expecting. And hipsters. Why replace surfers with hipsters? When you said the script was written by the same guy who did the Total Recall remake - it all made sense why it looked so bad.
