Let me just start by saying I only saw this movie because I have seen every single one of Josh Hutcherson's movies to date. This was going to be no exception to that. But I was reading through some of the other comments mentioned on this, although this movie is not the best I have seen this year it should be getting more credit then it has been receiving. True maybe the point of making the movie was to put guns in hot peoples hands, and add a love story into it then they would've called it "Twilight with guns". But it is more then that, there is a plot line to be found in it and there is a lot of action. Although I would agree with some others that this movie is not worth the money to see it theaters, at least wait tell it comes out to Redbox and rent it from there.

I remember seeing the original version of this from the 80's and that was OK, nothing fantastic but an original idea and worth a watch for the action and acting. THis recent remake isn't even OK - it's woeful. The acting is dreadful, the story is thin, the action scenes hard to follow because they are mostly in dark or filmed so close you can't see what's going on (ie they are cheating). I give it 3 for a few good moments in an otherwise dire production, I mean I have seen worse, but not by much. The patriotism and "inspiring" speeches just don't ring true - it all comes across as lame & desperate and a lot of the "acting" is not much more than blank stares conveying nothing at all. Isabel Lucas should be banned from anything resembling a screen, she is an embarrassment to Australian Film & Television and the rest of the cast were only marginally better. Don't bother with this unless you're really really desperate for something to fill in an hour or so without taxing your mind.

RED DAWN 2012. The original was a product of the cold war Us vs them mentality. It fed on the fears of the cold war. Now Red Dawn 2012 doesn't have the cold war to feed off of. What it does have is a us VS them theme. North Korea is the bad guys this time around backed by the Russians. They invade the USA under of thin guise of liberation. A Group of young adults led by US Marine Jed Eckert and his brother Matt take the fight to the invaders after witnessing their father Executed. The Wolverines (Named after their football team) takes the fight o the enemy after training by Jed. Sure the movie enters the silly zone a lot of times. But in all the entire concept isn't so far fetched. I kept thinking about Guy's like George Washington who led a entire country to war against the British. The Film to me was fun and entertaining. I liked it enough to write a review telling people I enjoyed it. Watch it and make up your mind afterwards.

Because this movie was a remake everyone already hated it without even giving it a chance. I understand the North Koreans would have a tough time invading the U.S. it was originally written as China but had to change it. This Red Dawn was way more believable in the sense that a group of kids could be trained by a Marine to fight guerrilla warfare instead of an average Jed (Patrick Swayze). I also liked how they differed from the original and didn't follow it to a T. One thing i did not appreciate was how Jed died instantly. Should of went out with a bang. This movie was only one hour and thirty minutes. I would of liked it to be longer to develop characters and their relationships, maybe explain more about the takeover etc. The action was well done. Actors also good. Very entertaining movie. I would hope for a sequel. This movie was screwed from all these haters who complain about everything instead of enjoying a good movie. Overall well worth the $10 ticket.
