Red Dawn (2012)
1/10
Thoroughly disappointed
27 December 2012
I came with somewhat high hopes, and I don't think I could have been more let down. The story is alright, since mostly follows the original and they didn't have much to write on their own. But they really screwed the pooch on this one. Acting was among the worst I have ever seen. Hemsworth is the only one that was passable, the rest disgustingly atrocious. Josh Peck is an absolute joke, It was painful to watch him, he should never have been casted. Even after filming somebody should have done something to midigate his performance. I can't speak enough to how terrible he was. The rest of the supporting cast not much better. Seems like all they could do was make dramatic faces and awkwardly spew out their lines.

This whole movie was terrible, i feel bad for anyone who is associated with this garbage, for the original movie and cast, because the new generation will likely judge their work on this ridiculous performance.

I really hope that the next time somebody decides to re-make a movie, they put some real effort into it.

V for Vendetta
4 December 2012
I absolutely loved the Graphic novel. It took several years for me to get around to seeing this after it came out. Frankly I was a bit Dissatisfied with it, possibly because I loved the book so much I had high expectations. The Back story takes a long time to develop in the book and in the movie they sorta jumble it all together in a small allotment of time, less than what they should have committed to it. This being said other parts were up to my expectations. The feel of the oppression, V, Evey, All were great fits. I just wish that they would've planned out the storyline a bit better as to fit in more of the details, I decided to re-read the graphic novel after seeing this just to sort out details I thought I already knew, so for someone who without a little prior knowledge, they could be easily lost in the story line.
