Red Dawn – Trailer

I know, I know. I am the queen of trailers lately. Today I want to talk about Red Dawn. I am just going to admit that I don’t get this one. I never saw the original so maybe I am not the right audience. But, to me, this trailer is just…I don’t even know. It just seems uber patriotic and maybe a little dated. Even as I say that I don’t want to see this movie, I have a feeling that I’ll somehow be persuaded to go to it. It looks kind of awful but Chris Hemsworth is definitely nice eye candy and Peeta is in it, too. Does anyone else have an opinion on this one? It seems to be under the radar though I hear that the trailer played before BD2.

And just for kicks, I am including the trailer for the original Red Dawn film from the 80s. OMG it’s Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey back together again.  Looking at this, the new film seems to follow it pretty closely. But is that good or bad? I don’t recall people thinking the original Red Dawn was very good.

Yay or nay? Anyone else think this movie is kind of an oddball or do you all think it looks awesome and I am crazy pants? Anyone love the original?
