RED DAWN (1984) Me and my girlfriend watched it on Netflix last night because it was supposed to be 'so good' and a 'classic'. *****, it was freaking boring and a chore to sit through!! I guess it was popular because it had every young hot guy and girl from that time in it, and maybe the plot was legitimately scary then, but now, not so much. Also that famous scene that I've seen hundreds of times before, where the one guy holds up the AK and shouts 'Wolverines!!!' was not at all like I imagined it. I always assumed it was from the end of the movie, like a big deal. But in the movie it was right in the middle, and actually a bit laughable. Pretty disappointing. Bottom line: it's easy to see why they remade it.I may give the remake a shot- I did hear good things about it. Isn't it supposed to be the North Koreans in that one instead of the Russians?
