Paul S I haven't seen the original, so I can't say for certain if this is a good retelling of the story. What I can say is that while this movie isn't a masterpiece, and there a lot of flaws in its story, it was really enjoyable and fun to watch, and its story was really intense and compelling nonetheless. I definitely recommend it for action fans! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Rusty S Absolutely awful. There are only two scenes that didn't have me violently poking myself in the eyes. No spoilers here. The skateboard scene and the MAC 10 scene. You could skip to those two scenes, and you will have saved yourself an hour plus worth of cringe. Also, how the heck is North Korea invading America when they can't even keep their lights on at night? Pure Hollywood pandering to China, that in itself makes it worth missing this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Evie J i want my £3.49 back aside from the horrific timing and too quick a pace, this movie had a single scene with OK shock factor. did they really kill chris hemsworth for this movie?? havent seen him in anything since… Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Dave C I had the pleasure of watching this for the first time directly after watching the original for the first time! It's a more serious attempt than its source material, but it is still Swiss cheese when it comes to plot holes and assumptions... they're just more modern than the 1984 version! What intrigues me and baffles me at the same time, is how many people seem to prefer the original. That's not to say I liked this a whole lot more, either Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Tim R No. Really. Don't do it. If there is ANYTHING else you can do - Washing the cat; Pulling your own teeth; Donating a kidney, do it. But don't waste your time with this rubbish. If you do make the mistake of falling for it, you will, I promise you, want to hang for the seriously annoying Josh Peck character who talks as if he has gum stuck in his throat and puts the rebel army at risk to save his blonde girlfriend. Yes, that is as sophisticated as it gets. You have been warned. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Joseph C I only really enjoy it up until they finish training with Jed. After that the movie doesn't interest me. I'm already biased because I don't like the fact they remade Red Dawn in the first place. It would have been better if China was the big invading force instead of North Korea. Because you know it wasn't realistic when they still had to have the Russians assisting the Koreans in the movie. Like I said, the scenes when you see them first arm up with the lever actions and bolt actions, I actually like that because they use what they have until they can get better guns. But after they start taking down Korean soldiers it loses a lot of appeal. Probably because of the unnecessary tension between Jed and Matt. And Matt trying to save his girlfriend. I didn't like how they make Jed and Matts relationship strained in the movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
