This remake sucked. There was no character development at all. They just ran around Spokane blowing stuff up and the NK's were the incompetent guards looking the wrong way.

What a ridiculous piece of garbage this movie was.

sheesh. I didn't think it was THAT bad. I mean yeah it was cheesy, and predictable...

But I turned this movie on with my expectations low, and I thought it was okay.

I had the same reaction. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The actions scenes were OK even if the premise was just totally ridiculous. At least I was able to make it through the whole movie.

It's marketed towards teenage boys...They probably loved this movie.
When I was a kid the original was a classic...Now it seems cheesy and predictable.

Amen to all of these. I am a first edition fan, even though it had some problems but, it seemed more plausible to me and more believeable characters. If I had bought this DVD, it would have gone in the trash.

Geez that's just ridiculous.
Watch though, there will be some people, who after the movie, think that a NK ground invasion could be possible.
Because they don't know ****. So really not such a big gamble for Hollywood, they are just playing to how ignorant Americans are.

They actually came up with a decent reason the NK's were able to sneak in. Something about they having a new type of EM bomb that took out our satelites and defense network. Ridiculous of course but not bad for a movie.

But the rest of it was terrible. Not believable at all and no clear story plot.
