Sorry, this movie sucks

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Not going to blow you away with Oscar performances but for a bunch of kids, this is a prettt entertaining movie.

This is pretty much the original without the subtleness, the top-notch acting of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, and the fantastic dialogue.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

Red dawn is entertaining if you keep in mind this is a fictional story along the lines of David and Goliath. Its about overcoming obstacles no matter how threatening or big they are. Not about why N.Korea invaded America. And the bonds of being in a team. If you are looking for a decent entertaining movie that has nothing to do with reality but more focuses on internal bonds and struggles, you should definitely watch this. If you are looking for a realistic action movie you rather skip this one.
