I enjoyed the original Red Dawn and will likely see this one.

This is an action picture, and now the action can be bigger and better in every respect.

As long as you not expecting 'Citizen Kane' then I would think most people would find this film entertaining. As Joe Bob Briggs always said, "Lots of action with no plot to get in the way."

But I recall the Cuban leader growing in the respect that he began to understand that what he had been taught about Americans was not altogether true, so there was some character development; just not a great deal.
