    Red Dawn remake



    This is a remake of the classic 1984 film with Patrick Swayze. I believe they've replaced Russia as the enemy with North Korea.

    A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky - shockingly, the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom.
    PG-13 (for for sequences of intense war violence and action, and for language)



    I've always enjoyed the original, despite its cheesiness. This remake looks one big MEH to me. I'll see it due to boredom and curiosity, but I won't pay for it

    This movie took 3 years to get done. I don't think this could possibly be good and of course they make it PG-13. They are either cocky as hell or very confident with that Thanksgiving weekend release date.

    In all honesty, it's not a bad trailer. Despite the fact that the Koreans aren't capable of an invasion like that..but that's fine.

    If it wasn't so blatant and glossy looking, I'd probably give it a chance.

    The original at the very least was very grim and had good performances.

    Really, they are going to make a re-make of that movie? Will someone tell them the Soviet Union is gone. Woot, a cold war movie in this day of age and it is about those bad reds.

    First time my knife touched skin
    And the red blood started flowing so quick I just couldn't quit
    Kept stabbing until everything that I seen was red
    The pillow, the blankets, the walls, and even the bed
    One color dominating everything like contemporary art
    Am I the killer or artist with bloody heart?
    Then I curled into a ball in the corner of the room
    Feeling like a creep in the light of the moon

    Judging by the trailer, are they trying to associate football with the Army?

    Lick my nuts. I ain't watching this.

    BTW everyone, this was already made. It's been sitting on a shelf for three years.

    It's been problematic from the get go getting this flick done. Personally I feel that they should have stuck with the Chinese as the invaders as was the original plot.

    It might turn out to be an ok young adult angst/action movie with a coat of polish, but I seriously doubt it will live up to the pathos that the original evoked in me at the height of the cold war. I'll give it a shot though.
