Very bad idea. The original is a classic that doesn't need a remake. Wolverines!!!!!!!!

The movie could work if instead of Chinese and Russian military invaders they make it a case of martial law and they head to the mountains to take on their own military! That's guaran-damn-tee'd money!

The original was insipid enough... terrible, terrible movie only loved by right-wingers.

Are they still allowed to make a movie where the bad guys are from another country and not a secret evil part of our own government.

"Wjy the Russians and not the plausible North Koreans or Al Queda?"
North Korea has no strategic capability, and Al Queda is a terrorist group, not a full scale army.

Ridiculous!

They should have this remake take place in south central LA. Lets ee how an invading army does against all the gangs there who probably have just as much fire power.
Like Dennis Miller said , this could never happen. Want to know why? Go to a gun show on the weekend and see what people are buying and taking home .

We should retreat to the mountains and launch guerilla attacks on this remake while it films.
WOLVERINES
