Remake of Red Dawn breeds hatred

If Hollywood action movies are meant to entertain, the remake of the 1984 movie Red Dawn, which hit cinemas across the United States last week, is a huge disappointment in every way.

Compared to many Hollywood blockbusters, Red Dawn, produced with a $65 million budget, looks cheaply made. The mundane plot, poor acting and low technology of the movie simply mean it is a waste of time and money for viewers.

No wonder Rotten Tomatoes, a film review aggregator, gave Red Dawn only 11 percent in approval ratings based on 99 reviews, among the lowest for recently released movies.
