50 Reasons Why ‘Red Dawn’ Sucked

1. Whenever you have television/news footage, you have to make it look grainy & shitty even though this is showing modern day stuff & was shot most likely in HD.

2. I’ve already seen three things to show that the mascot is the wolverine. Yes, we get that this is a remake.

3. He doesn’t look like a football player. Too nerdy- like he should be in computer class.

4. Mustang with no head rests.

5. ‘Our families went camping together.’ Then you guys should be acting like you know each other more, not just acquaintances.

6. Thor drinks his beers like he’s taking a shot.

7. ‘What is this?’ ‘I don’t know.’ It looks like a goddamn invasion to me.

8. ‘Next right!’ More like THIS right. And why didn’t you just run those Koreans over?

9. That was a really loud door slam for a freakin’ Humvee.

10. The one guy in the back of the truck that won’t lie down like the other two.

11. Typically Humvee windshields aren’t bulletproof so someone should’ve went through it.

12. Glad that cabin door was wide open for them to conviently enter when first arriving.

13. You can’t leave the ammo in the box?

14. I like the original father death scene more.

15. The Koreans obviously don’t follow the Geneva Conventions…

16. “It’s easy for me ‘cuz I’m used to it.” And I’m Thor. ‘Murica.

17. Already into a training montage.

18. Hell yeah, get me my TEC-9, muthafucka HA!

19. ‘We need to get better weapons.’ No shit, it’s a TEC-9, that shouldn’t have even been in your thought process.

20. Does Josh Hutcherson have to be a little bitch in every role he plays? Is that a pre-requisite?

21. Isn’t this C4? Don’t blasting caps come with it? What’s the point of having that in your vehicle if you don’t have all the parts?

22. ‘You got him.’ (the deer) MY ASS.

23. Sleeping in the mine with such lovely back lighting & over lighting.

24. ‘We’re the bad guys. We create chaos.’ Sounds like Project Mayhem to me…

25. That was a shit ton of C4 on that skateboard.

26. Cho out in the open for the second time & nobody tries to shoot him.

27. They’re like EOD out the ass. Where’d they find all this shit?

28. Why is everyone jamming guns down the backs of their pants/asses? UGH.

29. Brothers bitching at each other outside of the mines in perfect lighting.

30. Really with the mustang bomb, near everyone that is reatrdedly oblivious & you’re making a ton of noise.

31. Just drive the bus?? There ya go, took long enough.

32. These Hummers are getting really fucked up quickly.

33. Matt’s constant shocked face when he finds out the guy friend dies. That jaw.

34. Josh Hutcherson should’ve ended shooting that SAW sooner. He only had like 5 rounds left. Not 50.

35. Matt constantly catching flies as he looks at the girl giving the peace sign.

36. Lighting with Thor & girl on railroad tracks.

37. Aquanet is BADASS. It does have that distinct old lady smell.

38. I don’t know, being in a mineshaft didn’t seem like a very good idea to begin with.

39. Glad I grabbed a blanket on the way out.

40. The brothers sure got cleaned up real quick after being in a mine explosion.

41. ‘Arizona’s a free state.’ Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be? We’re the only ones doing anything right.

42. One guy dies from one shot even though he has a vest on.

43. ‘No, I’m not leaving you.’ Ugh. Like usual. Just get the goddamn box out.

44. He’s got a good fucking memory for knowing that was his dad’s old room & passcode.

45. I happen to have two open beers right here for you & I.

46. Out of all the cars, THAT’S the one- THAT is your getaway car.

 

 

47. Cut it out of him, it’s an open wound anyway.

48. Squeeze on shoulder. Yeah I’d be disappointed too that I just left my SAW behind.

49. Girls with foundation & bronzer on.

50. I don’t think they’d be allowed to have that flag in the camp. Just sayin’.

FAIL.
