INT. STUDIO WAREHOUSE-NIGHT We’re in a dark studio warehouse where films go to die. An endless sea of shelves filled with scripts and film reels of movies that never saw the light of day. In the sea of darkness, we see a flashlight. We reveal three men, a SECURITY…

I’m honestly confused how to rate political action thriller Olympus Has Fallen. It’s top commendable aspect is Gerald Butler’s immense effort to be THE hardened action man. The desensitized and realistic storytelling with cutthroat visuals is a breath of fresh air from…

Andrew Gooder lovedOlympus Has FallenThis is one of those movies that I sit and watch every time I find it on tv cuz of how amazingly action packed and funny it is at some points. The intensity of this movie just feels off the charts and always draws my attention. I even have a friend who did stunts for this. 10/10
Jackson Keller lovedOlympus Has FallenSuch a good action/thriller that will keep you on your toes the entire time. Very underrated IMO and definitely shows how good Gerard butler is in these roles.

NathanDirector likedOlympus Has FallenRating: 6.4/10 Olympus Has Fallen is a brutally efficient and unapologetically violent throwback to 90s action cinema. The film is a satisfyingly gritty and intense ride, powered by a committed lead performance and spectacular action sequences. Highlights - Intense Direction: Antoine Fuqua's…
Jens Bak likedOlympus Has FallenWhile Olympus Has Fallen" is an entertaining and thrilling movie, it does however run on stereotypic fuel. The story is compelling and fast paced, right from the very beginning. And it keeps its high tempo right up to the end. It was however predictable at times
- Austin Kelley lovedOlympus Has Fallen
An outstanding example of how to take a generic Die Hard-esque plot and make its own, all the while competing with a duplicate film in White House Down. It was gritty, serious, and had a good mesh of realism and fantasy. 8.7/10
Sam Masters lovedOlympus Has FallenWhilst OHF and WHD were released in the same year and have similar stories, I think Olympus comes out on top. WHD will always hold a place in my heart, but this had more action, more suspense and better characters
Matt likedOlympus Has FallenNot as much fun as it should be but Butler is always good and theirs plenty of action here. The plot and script are weak and the movie takes itself too seriously but it’s got great action scenes. Just about ok

The movie isn’t a desecration, but it’s action filmmaking, not America, that needs to be reborn.

This is for those who like their political thrillers far-fetched, far-reaching and filled with pretty people.

[Antoine Fuqua] gives in to terrible instincts here, flirting with overwrought patriotism, one too many laugh lines amid numerous characters being shot in the head, and a general chaos-inspired editing technique all too rampant in today's action cinema.
