Review For Here Comes the Boom
Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud. Stephanie Zacharek-Film.com It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ... Linda Barnard-Toronto Star Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting. Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward? Frank Lovece-Newsday "Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clichés from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale. Adam Graham-Detroit News Basically, what you get with "Here Comes the Boom" is a completely unbelievable story that is based on a foundation that doesn't contain the least bit of originality. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com It's a wonder that the insultingly awful story is somehow watchable. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A lightweight action-comedy that only tries to entertain, but at least it meets that modest goal. And it knocks out lighter weight comedies like The School of Rock. James Plath-Movie Metropolis The highly likeable Kevin James headlines a highly likeable school/sports comedy lark in which he again plays a lovable oaf. Jim Schembri-3AW The 'Mr. Holland's Opus' meets 'Rocky II' story will satisfy some who long for innocuous content, even those who know James deserves better material. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) An average made-for-TV-type movie that makes its way onto the big screen, 'Here Comes the Boom' doesn't pack much of a punch. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Now, then. When is Stallone going to start playing a head teacher? Maybe the switch would work the other way... Graham Young-Birmingham Mail 105 painful minutes of a fat guy getting punched in the face and falling down. Ken McIntyre-Total Film Merely the kind of film that once it's on DVD will end up as necessarily mindless fodder for bench-pressing numbskulls to watch in a gym. Graham Young-Birmingham Post The film aims to be simultaneously a coarse sentimental little-guy comedy, a tale of embracing the American dream, and an increasingly serious underdog fight movie on the lines of Rocky. It fails on all three counts. Philip French-Observer [UK] Couldn't Kevin have raised the money by selling hard drugs or trafficking underage women? The closing scenes would, under those circumstances, have seemed only marginally less peculiar. Donald Clarke-Irish Times There's nothing here that you haven't seen a dozen times before and done much better. Alex Zane-Sun Online I went in with rock-bottom expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. It isn't completely awful. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] The Wedding Singer's Frank Coraci retains an endearing fondness for funny-faced bit-parts, but it's fundamentally formulaic in construction and mediocre in execution. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] A fantasia of hackneyed conceits about education ... Antonia Quirke-Financial Times Every now and again a film comes along that could play as a parody of itself with minimal alteration, and 90 per cent of them seem to have some kind of connection to Adam Sandler. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Daft but hard to dislike ... Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to strong comic performances, likeable characters and direction that gets the tone exactly right. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Unfortunately, the comedy is strictly from the undercard. Tim Evans-Sky Movies As an undemanding time-passer, Here Comes The Boom just about goes the distance. Eddie Harrison-The List

Watch Anna Karenina The third collaboration of Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley with acclaimed director Joe Wright, following the award-winning box office successes Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, is a bold, theatrical new vision of the epic story of love, adapted from Leo Tolstoy's timeless novel by Academy Award winner Tom Stoppard.

Review For Anna Karenina
It's a half-success -- a baldly conceptual response to the Leo Tolstoy novel, with a heavy theatrical framework placed around the narrative of girl meets boy, followed by girl meets train. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune In this adaptation, director Joe Wright, plus screenwriter Tom Stoppard, are determined to tame the untameable. And they do. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail "Anna Karenina," lush as it is, fails to strike a fully human chord. Tom Long-Detroit News The very picture of noble failure, it's a bright red heart without a beat. Peter Howell-Toronto Star The metaphorical force of this conceit-insisting on the artifice of the social world that frowns on rapture-is not hard to grasp, but its frailty unsettles some of the actors. Anthony Lane-New Yorker Thank goodness for Domhnall Gleeson's gentle turn as Oblonsky's friend Levin. The ginger-haired landowner is the movie's warmest figure. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The film does not do even minimal justice to the themes informing the tragedy. Dan Jardine-Cinemania A whirlwind affair composed of dazzling set pieces and a driving narrative. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Tolstoy's novel rendered in exquisite Faberge egg form. Catherine Bray-Film4 While there are suitably glorious elements, there's also a frankly bizarre and much-debated aspect added by playwright Tom Stoppard, so that the whole thing is full of 'Brechtian Alienation Devices' and narrative-splintering tricks. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up It's easy to conclude that this Anna Karenina is a superficial portrait of a superficial society, but that would be to dismiss how emotionally powerful it is in key moments. Rima Sabina Aouf-Concrete Playground There have been countless film and tv versions of Russian author Leo Tolstoy's classic high society love story. But none have been captured so beautifully and boldly as this Anna Karenina. Brian Henry Martin-UTV a visually unique story world, bold and beautiful, and dramatically fused with passion. Yet it's also a limited space that remains prisoner to its self-conscious theatrical structures. Simon Weaving-Screenwize The meandering Russian tale of forbidden aristocratic love - Knightley's character spurns her stiff, high-ranking husband, played by Jude Law for military man Aaron Taylor-Johnson - fails to ignite. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A sumptuous cinematic feast! Kam Williams-NewsBlaze Leo Tolstoy's classic tale of doomed romance and the emotionally stifling lives of Russian aristocrats gets an ornate, inert reworking...the congested setting makes much of the film look like a blur of costumes and set dressing. Jim Schembri-3AW Between the screenplay by playwright Tom Stoppard and the direction of Joe Wright, Anna Karenina is a stylistically fascinating film. Tim Martain-The Mercury Trying to one-up Tolstoy was always going to be a bad idea, though I wouldn't object to seeing a Bond movie, or Les Miserables, staged in the same way. Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia) Joe Wright uses the theatre and has the actors taking part in a stage production which then moves out into the real world. I think that's done beautifully. David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia) Well, Joe Wright has done it. His ANNA KARENINA is a triumph. Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia) Wright's staged version tries desperately to gain one's attention (which it does) and engage one's affection (which it doesn't). Ed Gibbs-The Sun Herald Wright's edgy, bravura approach actually enhances the moral themes and the social context, illuminating the story in a fresh, contemporary light. This is cinema Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Wright's vision in re-imagining this classic tale is conceptually brilliant, with a perpetual sense of motion... a visual and emotional statement Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Like its central character, this is beautiful and brave even if it fails to fully realise its potential. Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film Anna Karenina plays like the ultimate CliffsNotes, which is both testament to Stoppard's exceptional adaptation and abridgement of Tolstoy's novel and acknowledgment of the film's somewhat superficial center. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Knightley has a rare gift for making viewers willing to follow her characters even as they make catastrophically stupid decisions. Dan Lybarger-KC Active

Review For Hyde Park on Hudson
Somewhat uneven and ultimately underwhelming, but there's plenty to admire and enjoy here nonetheless. Tom Huddleston-Time Out A languid, tedious effort that never bothers to get to the heart of its characters, the film is a shallow reading of a significant time told mostly from the viewpoint of a lifeless character. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald It's never a bad movie, but it can't quite gel into a good one either. Tom Long-Detroit News Hyde Park on the Hudson' is a forgettable historical footnote. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Essentially, Hyde Park on Hudson is a Shakespearean revel. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Murray's spot-on portrayal of a man juggling myriad pressures and demands, from petty to momentous, marks one of the film's greatest strengths. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post It's been a long time since Lost in Translation (2003), which is the last time Bill Murray did anything of real note in a film. Here he partially redeems the latter phase of his film career playing pre-war US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Jim Schembri-3AW Bill Murray may not be going for laughs as World War II-era President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he sure gets them in this slice of historical fiction. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com A delightful piece of historical speculation grounded in historical details and personal recollections that have continually been coming to light over the last seventy years ... Murray is terrific in the part - charming, at ease and cunning as a fox. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) The issue of FDR's fidelity remains a thorny topic for traditionalists and historians, never mind the light, fluffy - and ultimately disposable - version of events. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age There is nothing stirring or sufficiently humorous to engage us; the fact that a serving US President is having secret affairs no longer shocks Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile With the incongruous casting of Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nelson's screenplay concentrates on the personal, offering a somewhat voyeuristic view of the events leading up to the 1939 visit of King George Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Even Murray, who never fails to be the most watchable actor in any film, can't prevent Hyde Park On Hudson from being too insipid. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk It's not the strongest premise for a movie, though Hyde Park on Hudson somehow contrives to make it seem rather less than the sum of its parts. Tara Brady-Irish Times Apparently Franklin Delano Roosevelt's polio paralysis didn't include everything below his waist. At least that's the impression left by Hyde Park on Hudson, which paints the president as a horn dog in chief... This isn't Lincoln, by a longshot. Steve Persall-Tampa Bay Times When the central drama concerns whether the Royal Couple will eat hot dogs or not, you can tell it's too slender a premise to hang on a film on. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) FDR's story is strikingly relevant to how Paralympians strive so hard today to correct our perception of 'disability'. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Tedious PBS middle-brow fare, though not without a few amusing moments in this mostly forgettable historical pic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews It's icky stuff, not helped by Murray giving perhaps the worst performance of his career. And I include Garfield 2. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman The film's special success resides in the women's hairdos. Philip French-Observer [UK] Perhaps Hyde Park on Hudson would have been more edifying if it hadn't been released in the wake of The King's Speech. Dan Lybarger-KC Active When the story's leading quartet have to negotiate embarrassing moments - a handjob for Roosevelt administered by Daisy in a bouncing car; eating a hotdog at a picnic for Bertie and Liz - it's Murray's FDR who is most at ease in the sticky situations. Jason Best-Movie Talk Inoffensive and insubstantial. Brian Pendreigh-Radio Times It's a bit antimacassar and too reliant on superior production design and a syrupy score. But if you just watch the acting, it's enough. Derek Malcolm-This is London The breezy, entertaining tone of this historical comedy-drama kind of undermines the fact that it centres on one of the most pivotal moments in US-British history. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com With such a strong cast, Hyde Park on Hudson should have offered so much more. Alex Zane-Sun Online

Review For Hotel Transylvania
No one does saccharine like Adam Sandler. The man can be sharp, angry and funny - but when he lays on the sweetness, it's like drowning in an avalanche of Tate & Lyle. Tom Huddleston-Time Out The 3-D adds a vertiginous thrill to a chase on flying tables and a touch of claustrophobia to a maze of underground corridors. Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times Not since Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein have the great Universal monsters been subjected to such dismal treatment. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Even the animation is ugly. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger A fast, funny and wildly inventive animated tale with enough laughs and heart to appeal to audiences of all ages. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star The film is good goofy fun, even as the plot uncorks a whole lotta nothing. Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle I was disappointed that this one didn't snag a best animated film Oscar nomination, because it was my second favorite movie in the category last year, after Wreck it Ralph. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine A tyke-friendly adventure teaching a universal message of tolerance via the oft-repeated maxim that monsters are people, too! Kam Williams-Sly Fox Kids will enjoy Hotel Transylvania, and it won't bore the socks off adults too. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire There's a good chance that children under 10 will find "Hotel Transylvania" entertaining, because it's as non-threatening as can be and the jokes are obvious. There's an equally good chance that everyone else will wander off . . . James Plath-Movie Metropolis From the spooked start, the comic-rhythm dial's set to bulldozer. Whizzes through the superficially amusing conceit without actually taking much time to craft cunning comedy. Like a sugar-rushed Count Chocula-meets-Fawlty-Towers idea. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) This is a perfectly O.K. animated film. The animation is really quite good. The characters are interesting, but the predictable story isn't very compelling. It is a slightly above average animated feature. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Director Genndy Tartakovsky has fashioned something even the most sensitive little flowers in your family can enjoy. Andy Lea-Daily Star Hotel Transylvania might be useful as a primer to introduce young film fans to some classic screen creatures, but it falls way behind the standard set by wittier animations from the likes of Pixar and Aardman. Lewis Corner-Digital Spy The concept of monsters as the good guys and humans as the villains is nothing new in the realm of movies, but Tartakovsky keeps things moving along at a satisfying pace as the stellar voice cast have a field day with their iconic characters. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide ... another empty-calorie animated feature ... Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Checking into this hotel will give you a thrill and get you in the mood for Halloween. Roz Laws-Birmingham Post It's not good enough to actually like, nor is it bad enough to get worked up about. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Primarily concerned with ensuring that young viewers aren't bored, it restlessly relies on juvenile humour, uninspiring musical numbers and wacky, Looney Tunes-type chases. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor With a script by that manages to dilute Adam Sandler's baser instincts with a real love for Universal monsters, Hotel Transylvania is no Grown Ups-style torture. James White-SFX Magazine It's inventive, wittily drawn, macabre in a Charles Addams vein, and overlong. Children will find it as much fun as Halloween. Philip French-Observer [UK] The characters and story, forged by six different directors and many more writers over a six-year-production stint, leave little room for Tartakovsky tricks and tics. Tara Brady-Irish Times Eye-catching animation and non-stop jokes make this animated monster movie a lot more fun than we expect. It's packed with gross-out gags that will keep kids laughing, plus clever character-based humour for the grown-ups. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com The ultimate message about ignorance being the scariest thing of all is a sincere one, but it gets lost in the nonstop, eager-to-please, uninspired zaniness. Alan Jones-Radio Times There is not much originality here, particularly not a daughter wanting to escape an overprotective parent - Brave and Tangled did this much better - and the 3D hardly registers. Alex Zane-Sun Online Sandler's second venture into animation is almost as unfunny as his horrendous Eight Crazy Nights, ten years ago. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]

Watch Argo Movie Online Streaming Free

Watch Argo Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. -- (C) Warner Bros..

Review For Argo
Affleck himself turns in a quietly impressive movie star performance. Tony Mendez is a kind of anti-Bourne, comfortable with his anonymity, living off his wits, not his fists. Tom Charity-CNN.com For 100 minutes, 'Argo' is close to flawless. Tom Huddleston-Time Out 'Argo' is one of the best movies of the year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Argo has that solid, kick-the-tires feel of those studio films from the 70s that were about something but also entertained. Only it's as laugh outright amusing as it is sobering. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The movieland satire is laid on thick, but it's also deadly accurate. Schlock has never seemed so patriotic, and Arkin and Goodman have rarely been so good. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Argo is a rollicking yarn, easily the most cohesive and technically accomplished of Affleck's three films so far, but a part of me wishes the director hadn't cast himself in the lead role. Dana Stevens-Slate The film, for all its ample smarts and solid academic craft, is just a great time at the movies. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com ... a terrific piece of filmmaking. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View Ben Affleck is one of this generation's best directors and "Argo" is a tight, engaging thriller. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Argo is director Ben Affleck's weakest effort by far, but still a well-made, performance-driven historical drama. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The only reason to watch Argo is because it's heavily padded, and while it works pretty well regardless, I wouldn't hold that up as an example of high quality filmmaking. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The top-notch packaging reveals Argo for what it really is: less a nail-biting chamber-piece character drama and more a coolly realized, wildly reckless, actioner. John Semley-Slant Magazine Ben Affleck continues to thrust himself into the top echelon of directors. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine Affleck Extraordinaire! Kam Williams-TheLoop21.com Ben Affleck is a director who appreciates the art of storytelling and masters the rare virtue of restraint... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed The sky's the limit for Ben Affleck right now, and its nothing less than he deserves. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire Ben Affleck's wildly entertaining thriller Argo is further proof of the old Hollywood adage that fiction is stranger than truth after all. Jay Stone-Vancouver Sun Affleck spins the absurd true story into an engrossing espionage thriller that would be utterly ridiculous if the stakes weren't literally life-or-death. Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto After Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now this directorial-best, Affleck is establishing himself as a major craftsman. Ben Kenigsberg-Time Out Chicago Affleck inserts such thoughtful commentary and ideas unobtrusively into his film; there's no ideological ball-peen hammer from the filmmaker to drive his beliefs into the audience. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Argo expertly builds tension and makes you wonder whether the mission will succeed. Charles Ealy-Austin American-Statesman There are many heroes in Ben Affleck's spunky, polished political thriller. But the biggest hero is Hollywood itself. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix A strong yet uneven effort... David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews We are invested in this rescue mission not simply because these are fellow Americans in peril, but also because Argo takes the time to make each person behind enemy lines unique and authentic. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com An edge-of-your-seat thriller not to be forgotten at Oscar time! Kam Williams-AALBC.com

Review For Taken 2
A sloppy, lazy, unintentionally laughable sequel. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com A meta-American movie, a Godardian spoof of the whole genre, an attempt to see how stupid and insulting a motion picture can be and still be a big hit. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com Taken 2 is more of the same, except a little bigger, a little dumber, and a little less invigorating. James Berardinelli-ReelViews So lazily put together that it relies on flashbacks from its predecessor for the majority of its character development. Dana Stevens-Slate Neeson, despite having turned 60 in June, looks spritely enough in the role, and more than capable of another go-round should Taken 2 match its predecessor's success. Charles Gant-Variety As much as this picture is action driven, its greatest delights are grounded in personality, in the fun of having a protagonist who combines homespun values with velociraptor functionality. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle "Taken 2" is really, really goofy -- it's even goofier because it thinks it's about the futility of vengeance -- but Liam Neeson almost makes you buy it. Tim Grierson-Deadspin Taken 2 is content to play out as a familiar and lesser version of its predecessor. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Good action. Neeson rocks as the death-dealing American ex-spy. What else do you need? Maybe "Taken 3″ isn't such a bad idea. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Taken 2 is a pointless sequel that tries to capitalize on everything that worked in the first film, without actually including any of it. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The proceedings don't flow with the raw urgency of the first film, taking on the forced tone of a Die Hard sequel. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine This is a halfway decent action film, but I do hope if they make another sequel of this, they make a better one. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope More is definitely less in this sequel. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Yeah, 'Taken 2' is pretty much the same movie that 'Taken' was. Like its predecessor, it's preposterous and over-the-top. And, boy, is this actioner ever just plain fun. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) If there were any justice in the world, this would be the movie inspiring mass riots. It's that bad. Rebecca Cusey-Patheos On the evidence of this cheesy sequel, Neeson is in danger of becoming the new Steven Seagal. Andy Lea-Daily Star Despite some pretty silly plot holes, this is a relatively entertaining hour and a half. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times If you lie with dogs, you get fleas; if you go to Europe with Liam Neeson, you get kidnapped. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) ... less credible, less suspenseful and less satisfying than it was before. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Unfortunately -- and somewhat embarrassingly for the human race -- there appears to be a sizable market for movies as blitheringly idiotic as this. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Like American filmmakers, it seems the French don't know when to quit, either. Dan Lybarger-KC Active There's an endless car chase that somehow manages to run 100 minutes in a 90-minute movie. Unless my math is way off, in which case it just felt that way. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Hard-luck bodyguard Liam Neeson is back in action, this time tracking down his abducted wife in Istanbul in an efficient sequel to the hit Taken. Daniel Eagan-Film Journal International Still delivers what the fans want to see: Liam Neeson being a total badass. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz Neeson Caters to his Audience in Taken 2.

Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerrilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to protect one another, liberate their town from its captors, and take back their freedom. -- (C) Official Site.

Review For Red Dawn
It's Friday Night Lights territory, but without good writing or acting. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine Red Dawn suffers from a number of serious problems. The first, and most obvious, is that this is mini-series material compressed into a 95-minute movie. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Take that, screaming North Koreans with no agenda! Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly Preposterously insincere ... Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail John Milius's 1984 cult classic about American teens battling a Soviet invasion has been reinvented as a Tea Party wet dream that offers a scathing (if completely illogical) indictment of the federal government. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader Hobbled by a laughably bad script and a uniformly uncharismatic cast. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Ridiculously violent for the certificate and wholly implausible in its set up, Red Dawn is the kind of gung-ho action thriller for people with sawdust for brains. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail In the wake of the Oscars, we have an early contender for worst film of the year. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire It is a foolish, ill-considered undertaking, the unexpected topicality of which makes it all the sillier. Philip French-Observer [UK] This dismal remake of the overrated '80s cult flick is littered with the type of nausea-inducing patriotic dialogue lampooned by the likes of Team America: World Police. Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy While it does have its inherent flaws, it proves to be much better than the original... Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed The action is generally well-staged, although watching teenagers building car bombs and cracking jokes about Call Of Duty feels like something to be endured rather than enjoyed. Graeme Virtue-The List Hollywood's cynicism knows no bounds. They're now remaking bad movies too. Shaun Munro-What Culture From its doomsday narrative and tired action set pieces, Red Dawn represents the lowest common denominator of dumb action movies. Alex Zane-Sun Online This has to be the year's most pointless remake: a boring and badly acted reboot of John Milius's gung-ho red-scare actioner from 1984. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The enemy may have changed, but the same fatuous paranoia, flag-fluttering patriotism, and flimsy grip on international politics remains. John Nugent-The Skinny With any luck this will be the spanner that finally jams up the works of Hollywood's dangerously overcranked '80s remake Wurlitzer. Adam Lee Davies-Little White Lies You're constantly asking yourself 'Will it matter if I leave half-way through this film?"?! Stefan Pape-HeyUGuys The concept is, undeniably, ridiculous, and the plotholes plentiful if one cares to look hard enough. But Red Dawn zips along at such a pace it's hard to notice. -Sky Movies Long-delayed. Arguably not long enough. Nick De Semlyen-Empire Magazine Dan Bradley's Red Dawn does a fine job distancing itself from the original, but while doing so becomes a mostly mindless action picture with a rather shallow message. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered The doltish, messy and frequently incoherent result bears all the hallmarks of a botched and compromised endeavour. Neil Smith-Total Film Chris Hemsworth continues his quest to try to become this generation's Patrick Swayze with this bizarre and unnecessary remake of the 1984 slice of Cold War paranoia. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine It's rubbish . . . and its sheer chutzpah makes it insulting as well! James O'Ehley-Sci-Fi Movie Page Unfortunately unexciting remake of the 1984 junk-culture cult classic about a bunch of American teens who fight back after America is invaded by Communists. Yes, Communists... This could have been fun. Jim Schembri-3AW
