The Red Dawn remake was probably better left unmade. But they did it, so here goes. If you saw the Patrick Swayze original, then you know the plot. There were some notable changes. First, big brother hunter and fisherman Jed is now a Marine Corps veteran. Second, they gave each brother a love interest. Slight distraction, and most likely not standard issue for a war zone. What I found most unlikely was the way that Jed was able to mold these teens into a cohesive fighting unit. Also, the Wolverines seemed to be able to pass through military checkpoints, armed to the teeth without detection. This remake has more. More explosions, more shooting, more face to face conflict. It also has less. Less character development, less motivation, and just less interesting. The one thing that I will say is that the end was much more satisfying. The fight goes on. We can assume the outcome, it need not be shoved down our throats. Two stars for the action. If that is what you like, see it. Otherwise, stick with the original.Read full review

This is a way higher budget, film than the original was! Meaning,it has way more, special effect's, & setting's! And scene's, than the original movie had! But after seeing the original, Red Dawn movie first! Year's ago, I have too say! That I liked the original, Red Dawn Movie! Way better, than this Re-Make one!!! But that's not too say, that You won't, like this movie! It has, some really good acting, in it! And it's action packed, from the beginning, too the end! But call Me Old" I liked the original movie! Way better, than this Re-Make one!!!
I've always loved the original and wasn't sure if I'd like the remake but it was very well written with an excellent cast and really entertaining.
