My Thoughts

I am sure there are plenty of people who will see this film that did not see the original film, and I have to say to those people do yourself a favor and see the original before seeing this film. The reason I say this is before I talk about the reboot film I want to say that the original was 10 times that the reboot was, the acting the setting the story was all better in the 1984 original film, and I hope anyone that is seeing the reboot I urge them to watch that film first.now onto this film the cast is basically all unknowns  (at the time when this film was made in 2009 Chris Hemsworth was an unknown Same for Josh Hutcherson (peeta from hunger games)). The performances where terrible in my opinion all around there was not one good performance that stood out to me, except for the fact that they ware all equally underwhelming, especially Josh Peck his performance was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. The story/setting is similar to the 1984 film int hat a town in America (Spokane, Washington instead  calumet,Colorado) is invaded by a nation (N.Korea instead of Russia updated for the times). And it is up to a few kids to band together and protect their home from these outsiders. From here on in the movies just gets worse and worse and honestly I feel there is not much really to add from here on in. One point that many people may not agree with me about that for me really hurt the film even more, in the group of kids there where about 6 minorities and at the end of the film all of them where dead and to me that was Hollywood following the old stereotype some of them for the dumbest reasons ever which I really did not like, some may not make a big deal of this but for me having all of the minority characters die just rubbed me the wrong way. another part of this film that I did not like was that they made Toni and Erica not sisters which I thought was a dumb change.Rotten Tomatoes had this to say "The rebooted Red Dawn lacks the original's topicality, but at least pays tribute in delivering the same short shrift to character development and general logic." I agree with everything this was a terrible movie and I do not want to further elaborate anymore.

Rating

this was a terrible film and they should have left it back in 1984 5.5/10!!!! do not see this film.
