So after downloading and watching the new Red Dawn remake I almost threw up on my keyboard. The movie was just horrible compared to the first. The first movie was just so much more dramatic with such great and emotional scenes.
1. The scene where some of their fathers are rounded up and sing America the beautiful before the are executed
2. The scene where one of the girls is mortally wounded and choses to stay behind with a grenade to not be captured and take one of them with her
3. The scene when they find out one of their own ratted them out and one of the boys guns him down
4. The transformation of the two girls from shy and timid to killers and not taking shit from anyone. Well shows how everyone changes.
5. Shows the human side of the enemy as one of the head guys lets the two brothers go in the end when he cold have easily killed them
6. The scene at the end when the two brothers are sitting on a bench in the park where they grew up and die together
None of that was in this movie at all. It was just horrible. Doesnt show the kids going through any sort of change because they are having to kill people now. Also WTF is up with the girls? Its like they were actually ex Navy SEALS or something and could kill without mercy from the start. Also in the first movie when they find the downed US pilot he actually esplains everything that happened and how we were invaded in great detail including how the Cubans and Russian's were working together and where they hit us frst. I think something was mentioned about how the North Koreans got int the US but it doesnt explain it in much detail. Its like they just teleported in a bunch of tanks and Humvees. Also where did North Koreans get a ton of Hummers from anyways? I cheked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humvee and North Korea nor South Korea are on the list. Also it shows the Russians helping the Nother Koreans and they dont have humvees eithers. Nothing in the movie makes sense, the plot is obvious but about as bland as you can get. No drama at all. I would rather gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons than watch that movie again.
