So the movie was guaranteed to be a flop. No conservatives would go because it would be leftist propaganda.

No conservatives bothered to see The Hurt Locker either. That movie was a box office flop. Yet it was everything people on this forum seem to ask for from Hollywood; action packed, pro-America, pro-U.S. military, Muslim bad guys. Performed dismally in the theater.

Everyone went to see Avatar instead.

I think perhaps, The Hurt Locker suffered from the fact that the movie, really wasn’t that different from watching the news from the middle east.

Seriously we can see real troops fighting real bad guys on the internet for free, from people like Michael Yon. Though donations at his site are certainly an option.

Why in the world would someone be inclined offhand, to plunk down $10 on what most conservatives would presume to be a bit of propaganda, to watch an imitation of that conflict?

Red Dawn, done properly would be a huge draw. China as a threat is real, and a growing fact most Americans are for some reason determined not to look at.

(including most on this forum)

Well, we better start paying attention. This movie would have been a good starting point.

Which makes this poster believe the initial respondent who believes the movie was ‘bought off’ by China, is probably onto something.

Our national strength is well on the way to being demolished methodically - and even our side isn’t doing anything to stop it.

It’s mind boggling. Even the right seems not to care anymore.

I saw it, it should have flopped, it was boring and a pice of junk film. I expected better.
