good remake

by NWCL123

Best movie of 2012? Hardly. Must see movie? Nope. You'll laugh so hard, you'll wet yourself? Don't worry about getting any depends. It will keep you riveted in your seat? Nah.

Good action flick that is unbelievable, but enjoyable? Yep.

Its a good movie for the nights when you are not serious enough to see a drama and don't want to see another cute animated movie and are not wanting any more syrup from twilight and aren't ready for corny comedies. That's when you see this one and you can pretty much like (not love or even really like) it.

Very Patriotic

by CyndiSings

This movie will restore your faith in the love for freedom for which America was once known. It gives us hope that we could get it back, but at such a sacrifice.

I Liked It

by cinema cowboy

I liked it but I think the first one was better, C Thomas Howell, Patrick Swayze and couple other young actors, being that it was a time of cold war and easier to believe such a thing could happen. The good stuff were the action scenes and cinematography, the bad stuff were the drama scenes after the battles. Oh ya one more thing, it might be more for young teens seeing that the plot, story had to do with high school kids.

Funny with a little action

by

I enjoyed it mostly because I laughed throughout. It didn't hit me as good as the first one, but that one may have been as good as I thought because I was young at the time. Overall a fun movie for a bit of relaxation from life.

Red Dawn, the remake.

by turbine40

I loved the original movie and own a copy of it but my wife was bored with it. This remake is soooooo much better! my wife even loved it. I love what they did with the story line. The only issue that I have with the movie is that it has way to much swearing in it. That wasn't needed to make this movie a good movie. Beware of the "F" word.

very absorbing

by 1classicmoviegirl

We watched the remake of red dawn yesterday, did not realize that that time went by. A little different from the original, but worth the money.

Not Happy

by The Real Truth

Should have never done a remake of this classic. Bad acting and b list actors make this a waste of your time and money. If you have to see this wait for DVD. Rating 3 out of 10.

Red Dawn

by

Not as good as the original, but didn't expect it to be. Lots of good action, but in places they just make things so fast that you can't really see what's going on (like getting car sick). I enjoyed the movie and recommend going to see it.

Action Packed, Fun to watch

by

Not going to get an Oscar, but I think they did a great job of keeping you interested.
The cast is young and just getting their feet wet, but we all start somewhere. I must say, I enjoyed this film more than I expected to. I took a group of teens, they liked it as well.

So Bad On So Many Levels

by kc75070

poor acting; zero character development; poor directing...

while the original was ambitious...it benefited from having some young actors that delivered....

and the directing gave a broadness and depth to the fighting and what was at stake....this 'remash' does none of this....

save your money!!!!

Surprisingly Good Remake

by Cacowboy

This was a good remake with new people and of course the action. I agree with a couple of other comments made. It was sort of a rush through the movie. It didn't give the viewer much time to get the players. Had a different ending than the original movie. Good acting and directing. I don't know if Red Dawn 2 could come about and start where it left off but it's possible. I think if I was a producer I would consider it.

From this movie and the original a viewer should come out and even though this could never happen. Patriotism should be reenergized, which is something is sadly missing with most Americans.

Awesome Movie!

by rdahljr

This movie was awesome. For all the reviewers who thought this movie was crap, don't listen to them and go see it. For all those reviewers that don't like this movie due to some new type of liberalism, they must be either communists or un patriotic Americans. Don't be afraid of seeing this movie and rejoicing in your American patriotism.
Bottom line: suspend disbelief and enjoy this movie!! Opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one and those who don't like my review, I seriously think you need to revisit what it means to be a citizen of the United States and pull your head out of your a**!

Pull out that can of whoop-ah!!

by nusoultheory

This movie made me proud to be an American! I clapped, I stomped, I yelled at the screen and it even pulled my hearstrings! A great date night movie to get that adrenaline going for some rough, dirty you-know-what afterwards!
