I just got home from watching the new red dawn. I am grossly under prepared. But IMO It was pretty BA movie. Hard to compare it to the original but I think it was just as good.
Ugh! I should apologize! I was taking a break from finals study guides when i posted that. Wasn't really thinking too hard... Now, i can actually compare in a civilized manner.i have seen the original, multiple times. how do you compare movies made so far apart? and two movies that had storylines no where close to one another? lets try this again though. i thought that the new one was a good movie. now does anyone have anything productive to say?

I havent seen it yet, but you mean to tell me it's not the same storyline? da fuq well thats disheartening
It was pretty good for all the shooting and blowing stuff up but the way the story line was laid out annoyed me a bit. I think it could of been done better.

1. This issue was the biggest one for me. The transition of no fighting/Military experience to the main character being in the military. Teens fighting back with no military knowledge, just using self discovered gorilla tactics looks better in a movie to me.
2. The lives they live in the movie! I hates how in the new one, it almost looks like the teens have it GOOD! Plenty of food, a nice shelter to hide from the cold! I didn't like that.. I liked how in the original, the teens had crappy shelter, little to no food, and has to resort to desperate measures to find it. Which, ultimately, got some of them killed.
3. Acting!!!! Sure, the original had some cheesy acting, but that's because it's an 80's flick. The acting in this one was just horrid! Josh Peck!?!?!?! Are you kidding me! His acting does not fit the role he would later take in the movie after "it" happened. (No spoilers, if you have seen it, you'll know what i mean)
That... was painful! I hated it! The new Red Dawn was a cinematic atrocity on a plate. Most scenes had no meaningful connection to the previous scenes. It was like plot hole jump cut after plot hole jump cut. The whys and wherefores for almost every action were completely spackled over, and Hemsworth and Morgan were not the acting powerhouses they needed to be to make those plot holes go away.
If by burned, you mean a disk that has been soaked in kerosene and set ablaze, then I agree.
