    Gives the original a run for its money

    by

    This was a very good movie, with really great acting. I was a bit concerned with some of the cast (Connor Cruise) but he earned his way in and did an amazing job as did the rest of the cast.

    Pretty good show

    by LinkinPark78

    I enjoyed this movie, but it's not for kids though, and I can't compare it to the original because I've never seen the original. The action was good, and Josh Hutcherson gave the best, funniest performance. A definite recommend.

    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.

    Worth seeing, but...

    by

    ...not better than the original Red Dawn. The plot, writing, and special effects all made this movie worth seeing. However, Josh Peck was miscast big-time and hurt the movie more than he helped it. The only other complaint of an otherwise pretty good flick was that US military equipment was used instead of Korean hardware...come on, producers...many Americans know the difference.

    Seriously

    by dkwinkler

    I really really wanted this movie to be good. But it was the worst remake of a movie I have ever seen. They could have done soooo much more with this movie. I couldn?t get over the guy from Drake and Josh was the lead. Totally lame. It was cheap, with no thought what so ever about a realistic plot. My high school class made a better version of Red Dawn for film class. Save your money and watch the original.

    RED POOP

    by swaymbsc

    I thought this movie was going to suck and it kinda did. It wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be. One thing is for sure, Chris Hemsworth is no Patrick Swayze. Terrible casting and cheesy one liners. Not nearly as good as the original.

    Red Dawn

    by Chopstocky

    It was a typical modern-day action flick. Lots of explosions, shaky-cams, overly stylized people in gritty situations. Entertaining in some spots, cheesy acting in others. Still better than other movies in its genre. Wait for it to come out on Netflix or DVD.

    Red Dawn

    It was a good action movie. I didn't like it as well as the original, but it was fun to watch and my teenage boys loved it.

    Just Enough of a Twist

    by KLSawyer

    Enjoyed the show. There was just enough of a twist that it was enjoyable to watch. Definitely feel like they were setting it up for a sequel!

    It isn't the original

    by jordan.santo

    Red Dawn was a pretty good movie. If you are expecting the original film you'll be disappointed. The story follows a pretty similar plot line, but it does not go as deep as the original. Thanks to modern technology, though, the special effects were better. Worth seeing as the story line is still good, but you'll be disappointed if you are waiting for everything in the original to happen again.

    Offensive to Spokane Natives

    by

    The first fail of this movie is being based in Spokane, Washington, but being filmed in Michigan. The second fail is this film being played in Spokane, Washington. As a Spokane resident it is offensive to watch a film based in Spokane, but not seeing Spokane. The acting was not very good. Josh Peck? He had his prime in Drake & Josh. Chris Hemsworth delivered the best performance in this movie, with the other characters being no-name actors or people introduced too late in the film to care. And although this is all up to an individuals opinion, I also felt the vulgarity was extreme. I'm a high school student and I heard more vulgarity in this movie than I have in the last two weeks of school. Which if you know anything about the mouths of teenagers these days, is saying a lot. So ultimatley, I say this is cheesy due to the acting, annoying due to the extreme overuse of the s word, and offensive to anyone who has any sense of pride in being a Spokanite. Wait for DVD!

    Red Dawn rocked

    by Big Daddy Doz

    The story line is a little different from the original which is good. The action was on point and I like the way things were blended. Hemsworth did a great job taking control as any Marine would. There are some punch lines in there that likely only Marines will get...Semper Fi!

    Red Dawn

    by pepper5959

    I Saw the first one and found this one to be very excellent. I especially liked the fresh new faces on the screen and some from TV shows I really liked the actors. Good Job!

    A group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers. The acting of Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson great.I also like the the bond brother in the movie RED DAWN is great remake of 80 s classic but the first Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze & C. Thomas Howell fighthing the with invading Soviet forces feel more real back 80 s.
