Red Dawn Reboot - Page 9 - Blu-ray Forum

Dazed+Confused · 04-12-2013, 03:28 AM

This remake was absolutely awful. I gave it a two but it was as bad as a remake can be. The original is awesome and somewhat believable. The remake was all over the place and didn't even flow well. One minute they were in the woods then two minutes later they would be in a different place. If you hadnt seen the thr original I dont see how you could really understand the actaul plot because of so many holes. Also, Josh Peck was awful. Whoever thought he should play a football QB and a lead character really dropped the ball. I could go on and on but I will stop there.

This movie was far from perfect (liked everyone except Peck and Lucas), but Ill take it over the original any day. Watched it again recently and man it just doesnt hold up. Overacted, cheesy, and very dated. Same reason I preferred the new Total Recall to the original.
