Alicia I love this movie so much

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Hitchcoc This is why McCarthy got such a foothold. This movie preaches that we need a huge war machine because those Commies are behind every bush. A group of people hang around in a bar. They make it obvious that they are lazy and entitled. They are against the draft, refuse to retool their factories for munitions, unwilling to pay taxes. All that bad stuff. Well, since they represent everyone, the Russkies come over the pole and wipe out most of the USA. It's now obvious that we have been bad and are getting spanked. The acting, the plot line, and just about everything about this film is lame. It is designed to bring fear to the viewer. There is some stock footage. I assume what they say are bombed US cities are really European bombed out places from the war. This is a terrible move. It does have a host of recognizable actors, however.

Eric Stevenson "Invasion USA" isn't to be confused with the Chuck Norris movie of the same name. What is really bad is that I wish he WAS in this movie as he could certainly bring some camp into this. I was truly surprised at how boring this was. The biggest fault is how bad the effects are. The characters in this movie seriously throw some of the most pathetic punches I've ever seen. I know what it's like to watch pro wrestling now. It's about how the Russians are invading the United States. When I first saw the title, I thought it would be some cheesy movie about aliens. I wish it was! Instead, we got a bunch of atomic bombs being dropped on everybody over and over. How do you make that boring? By having the acting be terrible! I couldn't feel for any of these characters. It's just so dull. The worst part is how I could predict that it was all a dream at the end. Okay, it was an hallucination, I guess. It's still utterly pointless. The only good thing is how they acknowledge the War of 1812 was the one time the United States was invaded. Yes, I'm a history buff! I couldn't tell which characters died and I didn't care. It just gets dumber and dumber as it goes on. * out of ****.

Royalcourtier This film is no masterpiece. But it is nowhere near as bad as often made out, perhaps by those who have never seen it.The use of stock footage, and some cheap special effects, is not unusual for films of this vintage. For a low budget film, it actually made good use of the available resources.I suspect most of the criticism is not based on the film itself, but its supposed political failings. However the politics of a film are not a reason to pan it. We recognise the Battleship Potemkin as a great film, despite it being communist propaganda. The same applies to Triumph of the Will as Nazi propaganda. Less successful but no less political films, such as Schindler's List, are rated on their merits, irrespective of their message.Invasion U.S.A. adopts a narrative that is close to documentary. It does not include irrelevant romantic distractions, or complex sub-plots. It is rather more of a war film than an anti-communist work.The enemy is not clearly identified. They look and sound rather more like Nazis than Reds. The identity of the enemy is not as important as the message that America needs to be ready to defend itself. I would have thought that the message that a country needs to be vigilant is as correct now as in 1952.The course of the invasion, and its successful outcome, were refreshing after watching too many gung ho American films where the US heroes always prevail. This film shows the reality that the USA could have been invaded by the Soviet Union in 1952 - if they had been, the Soviets would almost certainly have won the war. Russia had a narrow window of opportunity, before the USA developed too many thermonuclear weapons, and invasion would be too costly. There were Soviet invasion plans prepared.I wonder when we will see an American film about a successful Taliban or ISIS attack on the USA, with the message that the USA needs to be prepared.

bkoganbing Invasion USA must have been Joe McCarthy's favorite movie. Had he become president this would have been required viewing, indoctrination for kids from Kindergarten level on up.The film depicts the Russian invasion of the good old USA from the denizens of Tim's bar in New York City. Among those denizens who meet on a fateful afternoon are TV commentator Gerald Mohr, party girl Peggie Castle, cattle rancher Erik Blythe, industrialist Robert Bice, a member of the House of Representatives and a mysterious stranger who functions in this bizarre tale like Hickey from The Iceman Cometh. In fact the whole thing is like Eugene O'Neill if it were directed by Ed Wood. The stranger is Dan O'Herlihy and Tim is played by Tom Kennedy.While we've been soft capitalists the Communists have been fanatically busy making preparations for war. And they strike through Alaska as Sarah Palin watched from her window. There's no end to their trickery, the invading troops have been schooled in English and are wearing our uniforms, better to confuse the capitalist tools. But when a strike force comes to invade the Capitol Building itself and mow down Congress, an alert National Guardsman questions one of them from an Illinois based unit about the Chicago Cubs. What American doesn't know about them?Through all this invasion Mohr and Castle get down to some serious kanoodling. You've got to have a romance even in the time of our nation's greatest peril.My guess is that the players involved took these roles because they wanted to make themselves blacklist proof. They couldn't all have been that desperate for a paycheck.As for the conclusion, think Dallas and remember to keep giving the military industrial complex what it needs.
