Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Matthew-meyers Don't bother it's awful. Bad script, bad special FX... just all round naff; not even good naff. It's not even that palletable that you can just switch your mind to neutral and roll with the far fetched action and unbelievable story. Garbage.
Nadine Salakov I decided to check out Olympus Has Fallen again, i never watched it properly before and i never gave it a fair chance, there are some scenes that are too dark and just too much and those are the scenes where there is the threat of torturing people, what the hell is wrong with this director?? This is just supposed to be a blockbuster action flick, not Law Abiding Citizen part 2.Watching Olympus Has Fallen again has me appreciate how they did the action scenes, they put those scenes together perfectly.Even though the screenplay is 85% the same as White House Down, the latter is still a better movie overall. Olympus Has Fallen is dark visually and has that gritty vibe, if you like that then you'll love this movie, but gritty vibes should be in certain types of movies like crime dramas, not action flicks.I used to love the film score of this movie, but whether iv'e listened to it too much and got fed up of it or whether iv'e just outgrown it - i don't know, all i know about that is that the best part of the score is "The Full Package/Snowy Car Talk".Great performances, the bad guys are scarier than the bad guys from White House Down, but bad guy characters should not be the reason to decide how good a film is, everything needs to be taken into consideration.
loevw I've just watched this movie (in 2016) and it reminded me of White House Down, so I was hoping it would somehow be considerably different. They're not. I mean, the details have changed but the essence of the plot remains the same. If they hadn't been released in the same year, I'd have thought it was a remake. Anyway, if you enjoyed WHD, chances are you'll like this one too. If not, better pick something else to watch.You should know straight away from the implausible plot that this isn't the kind of movie where you'd watch something realistic. There are many plot holes, and if you're the kind of person that sits there thinking "wait, why didn't he do this, how come that happened, that doesn't make sense..." and that takes away your enjoyment of the film, then stay away from this one.If you know that it's only meant as a piece of entertainment with the typical bad guy vs good guy, then this is fun and far from boring. It's not excellent either. It's mostly guns and the fight scenes weren't as well crafted as what you might see in say, the Bourne Identity or Transporter. But it all flows very nicely right from the start and it's two hours of solid action entertainment with enough suspense to keep you wondering what will happen next.In short, if you enjoy an action thriller and don't think too much during the movie, this is a good one to watch.
Miguel Neto Olympus Has Fallen is another film that focuses more on action than on the script , at least the action scenes are fun to watch , plus the script sins with many errors , the steering gets far more in the course of the film he loses control , the cast is interesting , is Gerard Butler who is making more action films , he's fine , have Aaron Eckhart which is good, and the excellent Morgan Freeman 's fine too , the special effects are competent , the action scenes are good , the plot is simple , the soundtrack is average , you do not notice it much , Olympus Has Fallen is no better action movie in done, more is far from bad, the action scenes are cool.
