Red Dawn Remake--WTF?
Just a simple redo with us vs. North Korea (originally China, but apparently China said no.)
Even better is it's featuring Josh from Josh and Drake. Due 11-21-2012, it has no real trailers yet, but it does have a website. www.reddawnmovienews.com I think I'm going to be sick. |

I'm skeptical about:
- The "let's steal that super-weapon" plotline they're adding in; - How it works without the mid-80's Cold War paranoia already in place; - Josh Lucas; - The fact that remakes of 80's movies are usually atrocious. And I'm pretty sure it will get pretty bad reviews. However: - I'm still looking forward to what choices these filmmakers make in adapting it to today; - It still looks like a good action flick; - I think we as a country could use something to stand up and cheer about; - It looks like they're doing well in adapting some of the iconic scenes to this remake; - I like the casting in general, and; - Adrienne Palicki specifically. So I'll see it. |

2) Movie hits the skids. Movie sold from one company to another without any real advertisers willing to commit. Movie finds internets can stir interest and funding. Movie uses this to stir interest. 3) Plot of film changed due to pressure from (THE ****ING ENEMY IN THE MOVIE) advertisers and backers to change the the "script." 4) Original "ok for an action flick" degraded (numerous cuts) to dog$3it SciFi films original level due to the fact the ****ing invaders in the film employed some lawyers (read: CHINA) and they had to salvage something since there were some now-pop stars in the film...

heh, this entire premise is just laughable in 2012. In 1984, it seemed semi-real because of the lingering threat of the USSR.

Surprised it is that high. The commercials look dreadful.
The original was gritty; the remake looks like a Michael Bay flag-fest, with plucky 'Merican teens givin' it to tha man! Drink Mountian Dew Xtreme! You know it's "da bomb" cuz it starts with an "X"! F*#K YEAH!

It was actually better than I expected but still way prefer the original.
Shocked they were able to explain the invasion in a way that was at least in the galaxy of realism without the Cold War paranoia. Had one good HOLY SHIT moment too. |
