    Laughing my a$$ off!

    by

    So I will only go see this to find out how Hollywood thinks Spokane looks because guess what the movie wasn't even shot here it was shot somewhere in the Midwest. The previews I have seen it looks nothing like Spokane and I am highly intrigued to see if the actors can even say the name right. Thank you Hollywood for the laugh.

    Very Enjoyable

    by

    Me and my kids liked it. A very good modern version, they used current military tactics and world events. I didn't want to see an exact remake of the original.

    My daughter loved it.

    by

    I had a date with my 13 year-old daughter and she said she was on the edge of her seat the whole movie. I found it very difficult to suspend disbelief enough to not laugh but at least it kept moving. Though some violence I did not find it inappropriate for her. It seems directed towards teenagers so I guess it hits its mark. All in all it was a good date.

    awesome movie

    by andrecluff

    this movie is a great one. Chris Hemsworth acting was on point, Josh peck really improved since drake and josh in acting, and not to forget Josh Hutcherson who was really funny and great acting in this movie. All versatile actors/actresses.

    by tallen0292

    I'll have to say I started this movie not really liking it, but when the whole thing finally got started I was hooked. Don't let the beginning make you leave trust me it gets better

    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.

    A father and 12 yr old son movie

    by exp93

    Or if your date is in love with the star of this movie take her on date night. Otherwise, i saw the original and it was better. This move was not bad its just we have seen all this before. The good points are the main hearthrob in the movie is good. Real good...when he was on i was into it. When he was not on i kept thinking these are elite soldiers against kids and well you know...i saw it for free i walked out of the Collection...see that review..good luck

    Boring replay of an 80's cult classic with an abrupt ending

    by Stonea

    This film didn't stray far enough from the 80's version to thrill anyone who saw the original. The plot and characters were left largely undeveloped, and the ending was quite abrupt and clumsy, as if they ran out of budget and just decided to stop. Nice effects and action sequences helped to balance this, but an overall disappointment.

    RED DAWN IS A WINNER

    by janie27

    THE OLD RED DAWN WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES-JUST COULD NOT SEE HOW THEY COULD DO IT JUSTICE. GUESS WHAT THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB!!! IT IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAT THE ORIGINAL. I REALLY DID ENJOY IT AND WOULD PROBABLY GO AND SEE IT AGAIN!! CHECK IT OUT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.

    Standard reboot that does not live up to the original, but still entertains.

    by Lordbowler

    The original Red Dawn will never be surpassed in the minds of those who saw it in theaters or soon after it came out on DVD/VHS. In order for any reboot to surpass the original, it has to hit every high mark which is nearly impossible.

    That being said, this movie on its own was an enjoyable, with good acting, and good effects.

    I enjoyed the whole cast, but would have liked to see more character development and a darker, grittier storyline. But, it was enjoyable, with a few unexpected plot turns that made it stand out from the original.

    My only major disappointment with this movie is that it did not give the viewer anytime on the other side. We go almost no character development on the enemies and collaborators, which would have deepened the story. It was a waste of a few good actors who portrayed characters who fell on the other side for various reasons. Even this was explored more in the original movie.

    I would still give this movie a strong 3.5 stars

    Wolverines!!!

    by 1exachog

    My 18 y/o son and I REALLY liked this movie. As both of us are huge fans of the original, (I saw it in the theaters) we went in with mixed emotions. Boy were we pleased!
    They did a great job of paying respect to the old while clearly making a new movie. Good acting, direction and cinematography that kept you at seats edge and a plot that was MUCH better than we expected and plenty of action. The two actors cast to play the brothers (Jed and Matty Eckert) were very likeable and interesting. The three "new additions" to join the wolverines group later in the movie were a GREAT touch! Exciting and realistic gun play rounded out what every fan of this type of movie wants to see.

    There is ZERO DOUBT that we will be buying this when it comes out on DVD. But....as serious Red Dawn fans, we just might go see it again in the thearers just for the memories!

    Scary! Could happen in the near future if we are not careful!

    by Richard Sullivan

    Incredible film! This was insightful back in 1984 when the original came out. The new ?Red Dawn? may be even more predictive of the future.
    I just want to ask everyone, ?Where would the Wolverines have been if in their world, their President had been successful in the disarming of America??

    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!
