Has anyone seen the new Red Dawn? How was it?

The new Red Dawn is just a limp rehash of the old plot. The first one was much better- IMHO.

If you liked the original with Swayze and C. Thomas Howell. You will like this a lot. The story is different enough to keep it interesting and the tactics are more believable.

I liked the first one better. The idea of the communist country who invaded us was laughable. The producers should have stayed with the original antagonist but they caved in to pressure.

That said the action and graphics were good.

Saw it yesterday with my son. The wife dosn't like action type movies. There were 3 other people in the theatre. It was a good movie. The original is better but it would have to be ... it had Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Powers Boothe, Ben Johnson and Harry Dean Stanton in it. I couldn't name any of the actors in the new one.

The chair is against the wall.

3 1/2 stars out of 5 - but that is just my opinion.
