The general concept of this movie is obviously to be a remake of the old TV series. Other than that it’s not much like the original. The main character may have the same name, but he isn’t the serious, good looking, tough guy I remember from the original series. He’s a average looking, dumb ass spoiled kid with no friends, not the least bit tough or coordinated and well you get the picture. This new version of the character is the total opposite in many respects.
This movie wasn’t what I was expecting for a hero remake. I was disappointed and underwelmed. Action scenes are fine, even entertaining at times. But if you are going to remake a pop culture or classic movie, do the original some respect and at least use the same concept. If you are going to change things around and totally remake a lead character for example, then make a new movie and don’t ruin the theme and memory for people you are sucking in that cared about the original. That’s just wrong.
