Red Dawn Ratings & Reviews
- PhineasJuly 16, 2025It's not unwatchable, just a bit of a lifeless remake of an already only "decent" movie.
- Hipster ZOMBIEApril 4, 2025The original Red Dawn was a cultural and classic from the 1980s that wasn’t afraid to comment on the all too real Cold War conflict. This new updated version came out during the early days of the woke mind virus. The film’s original antagonist, China, was switched to North Korea. Despite a young up and coming cast led by Chris Hemsworth, the film lacks the gritty realness and overall sense of dread from the original. MGM’s decision to not have China or Iran as a modern day antagonist speaks to the studios cowardice to create a film that could have been a big conversation starting hit. Instead we get a Red Dawn in name only that fails to even come close to being as memorable as the original.
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025Well, it’s not the worst movie I’ve ever seen…. but it felt like it at times. Some of the acting is legitimately terrible (Josh Peck😬) and it kind of brings down some of the better parts of the film. You can safely skip this….or maybe hate watch it.
- Daniel RomneyJuly 10, 2025I think this is a great movie that in some ways is better than the original. I feel like the objective of the movie is a little more developed than the first. The change of location I don't know is better, but it does offer some more varied scenarios than what the original did. Definitely worth multiple watches as this was I think my third time watching this movie
- Das_LamaJune 16, 2025I gave it a half a star because, hey, they served Ju Ju Beans in the theater. The 1984 movie was a gem. The 2012 version was not. The characters were obnoxious and annoying. The writing was terrible and the plot bordered on retarded. Whomever approved this release should have gotten jail/prison time or have register as a person with the IQ of a fence post. This movie was truly that bad. I suspect the third version of this will involve an invasion from a few dozen folks from the Falkland Islands or Samoa. Jeffrey Dean Morgan with a razor-wire wrapped bat would have made the movie far more interesting. I digress.
