Check Out This First Look At The 'Red Dawn' Remake

This is possibly the worst article I've ever read on the internet.. Read the comment by Wolverines84 for an accurate background of the original RED DAWN film. Fantastic movie that really gets people thinking. Also in the picture, you could name your actors right from the start. From left to right, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson &Chris Hemsworth.

In contrast to what you've stated, the plot is deep. Aside from it being World War III, it is also clever in the approach the Russians take. If you've ever watched the movie you'd know, when the Russians invade, they search for civilians who own guns. The forms are kept at sporting goods stores and county offices. Also, the teenagers "hit and run tactics" are known as guerilla warfare. It's possibly the most effective form of fending off invaders. It's happened in every war, and will continue to happen. The story is fictional, however it shows what other countries would be up against even if they caught us off guard. In its time, this movie was scary beyond belief.

You sir, are the worst critic, journalist, writer and investigator on the internet today.

Corwin,

You said it perfectly in your last paragraph...you forgot why you were writing this post. Evidently you never watched the original for more than 5 minutes. You are a D  bag that that posts only for show. Not to say anything of value or express an opinion with any useful content. You write like Perez Hilton. What are you...twelve? Please go review Pixar movies.

a$$hole a$$hole, the russians crossed the berling straight and cut the pipeline.   the cuba and hondoran armies came up though mexico,  forgive me but the rest came in on comericail airlines we stoped them dead at cheyenne held them at the rockies and at the mississippi.   there nukes were more accurate then we thought.   they wont use any more neighter will we on our onw soil.   well who is on our side bout 500,000 screaming china men, and the british but they wont last long. i thought there were a billion chinese ,,  there were. {flash} 

          anyone that grew up in the 80's during the cold war this movie was it, every teenage boy, played guns in the woods acted out this movie for years

  id like to take a look at the remake but i didnt see anything about it so i have douts  i seen the Quote remake of the chash of the titans remake and that wasnt even worth flushing down the TB.  i hope they dont over act the kids it was there ignorance that also sold the flick (the original) C.thomas howell, lea thomson,  even pat swazie even though i didnt like any of hes movies after  but grew a giant respest for him as he fought and lost pancreatic cancer ( my dad lost to it to , that cancer is a bitch)

Mr.  Cowinhole  Neuse,

Maybe you should actually watch Red Dawn(1984) BEFORE you relieve yourself on it !!!!!!

Sometimes it makes that review a teense more accurate......ya' know........

Less coffee and more facts like the Russians did invade the whole US not just one town and the US fought back to the Mississippi.  All things west of the Mississippi were controlled by the invaders not just one town.  Go watch the movie again and listen to the dialoge of Powers Booth filling the kids in on what was happening in the "rest" of the US.  Since I haven't seen the film since probably 1989, I can attest to the fact that 2 cups is max before amphetamine OD is experienced, chill dude and watch again before you sit down to the keyboard.  Maybe they will but a twist on it like Venezula, Taliban, and the Mexican Drug cartels are making a run at California, who are defenseless, broke and hording homegrown in an attempt to forget that they voted for Obama...again. Now that is believable:-)

In the original movie, the whole country was invaded by the Soviets and Cuba.  The story just happened to focus on that little town.  Remember Powers Boothe's Col. Tanner?  He told the kids what had happened in other parts of the country.

I liked the movie when I was in high school.  When I saw it again as an adult...not so much.

People forget that this was the first movie that paired Swayze with Jennifer Grey.

I don't think that North Korea cares if they are cast as villains in our movies.

Obviously, the writer never served in the military during the Cold War Era, I did!  It was the Cold War Era and anything was possible.

What is up with all of the remakes?

We're almost like China, using other ideas!

Please make original movies!

Thank you Wolverines84, I was thinking how poorly thought out this review was, especially regarding the first movie. I was wondering how it could be thought that  "easily accessable" New York and Washington DC are more strategically important than dividing the country in half would be, and how exactly would they access these areas over thousands of miles of ocean, vs coming in thru Mexico as described in the movie. Personally, I look forward to the movie! Oh, and should we really be worried about offending North Korea? Do you think they are worried about offending us? Why do people like this get to write these reviews? Corwin would probably be the last to pick up a rifle and defend this great nation.
