Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

christopher_brethour Was scared to watch it being a huge fan of the original. But they surprised me. liked the cast. Couple far fetched scenes but what do you expect. i can hardly get through a fast and furious film cause its too much, this wasnt some how for me...enjoyable to watch, once again, in 3D.

Michael Ledo In the first scene two eXtreme bikers ride a trail on top of a mountain ridge where they have no business riding a bike. Seven years later Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey) is in the FBI. When a group of international criminals catch the attention of the FBI, Johnny surmises the group are "Chasing the 8" in an attempt to achieve Nirvana. He infiltrates the group lead by Bodhi (Édgar Ramírez). He discovers they want to save the world by giving back to the earth. They perform Robin Hood stunts which include their eXtreme talents. They start fires while rubbing sticks together while wearing synthetic suits made in the third world, go figure.The film reminded me of those old IMAX films of eXtreme sports that didn't have a plot. In this case they wove a plot in between a frequent amount of dare devil stunts, one where everyone wore different colored suits looking like Power Rangers. The film is not particularly plot driven, and if you are not going to watch it in 3D or IMAX, don't bother. Scenes include dirt bikes, sky diving, snow boarding, surfing, diving, boxing, and whatever they called that with the avalanche.Guide: 1 soft F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Nicole L *Note: I haven't seen the original version of this movie. Plot: 7/10. FBI agent who also happens to be an extreme sports athlete infiltrates a group of extreme sports athletes who also happen to be eco-terrorists hellbent on completing the Ozaki 8 ordeals, a set of extreme sports ordeals, while also "giving back" to Mother Earth (read: committing crimes) and trying to save the planet from destruction. Have to say, this is by far one of the most original and inventive plots I've come across for a crime movie. Points off for a couple instances of poor executions/research (I study terrorism, so I pick up on this easily in these movies): 1. Bodhi telling Utah that he "knew he was a cop from the beginning, but thought he could save him" - this would NEVER happen in any extremist group ever. I get that they weren't a terrorist group in the original movie, but if you want to make them terrorists, you have to change the way you do things a little. 2. The whole thing about Bodhi being on the boat with Ozaki when he died, I mean... sure, it gives him motivation, but could we be any more predictable? 3. The romantic subplot between the girl and Utah was literally thrown in there for the sake of it and added nothing whatsoever to the plot. Furthermore, the one "important" female character was literally a sexy lamp and didn't participate in any of the group's activities until it came time for her to die for the male lead to have feels. 4. Another instance of "these weren't initially terrorists but they are now" poor execution: not that I don't understand that he wanted to complete the Ozaki 8, but no terrorist ever would just do something he knew was going to kill him without benefit to his cause. Again, maybe this was believable in the original movie, but it is not believable here. Characters: 7/10. I loved the character chemistry between Bodhi and Utah. Points off for no development of literally any other character. Especially in the case of Sexy Lamp lady who croaks for Man Tears. Cinematography: 10/10. Absolutely visually stunning movie. This is definitely the high point of the film, especially for the extreme sports fans among us. Atmosphere: 8/10. Pretty standard action movie atmosphere. Music: 9/10.Overall score: 8.2/10

ssahank Cinematography is some of the best I have ever scene. The scenes shot were beautiful. The stunts were epic. However, they had picked the worst cast ever assembled in history. Maybe Bodhi and his team weren't too bad but Utah and agent hall were the worst actors in history. They were categorically fake and tried too hard to act. Could've been the best movie of the year if a proper cast was selected. Unfortunate!
