Red Dawn Ratings & Reviews
- Das_Lama16 juni 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.
- Zokkiie23 maart 2026Feels like it should hit harder than it does, but everything’s a bit too clean and predictable. The pacing keeps it watchable and there are a few solid action beats, but it never really builds any weight behind them. Chris Hemsworth is kinda meh, and the rest of the cast doesn’t do much to elevate things either. It’s fine for a one-time watch, just pretty forgettable overall.
- Numi11 september 2025Red Dawn (2012) attempts to reboot the 1984 cult classic with a modern twist, swapping Soviet invaders for North Korean paratroopers and casting rising stars like Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. Despite its energetic action sequences and updated visuals, the film was widely criticized for its lack of character development, logical inconsistencies, and a muddled narrative that failed to capture the urgency or emotional depth of the original. Critics found the remake uninspired and overly reliant on clichés, while audiences gave mixed reactions, appreciating the spectacle but lamenting the absence of substance. Rating: 2.5/5 for me.
- Kevin Ward14 juli 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.
- Phineas16 juli 2025It's not unwatchable, just a bit of a lifeless remake of an already only "decent" movie.
- Hipster ZOMBIE4 april 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.
- Daniel Romney10 juli 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
