Wonderful Movie

one of my absolute favorites!

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This movie took not making any sense to a whole other level. I mean, you can almost rate it a sci fi movie.

Sometimes what looks like a half-decent movie judging from actors, press material and so on, turns out to be just SHOCKINGLY bad. Add this to the list. What utterly provokes me to write this review is not so much the completely bland and predictable storytelling that looks like it could have been done by a 12-year-old. Neither is it the characters being as flat as pancakes, with every attempt to humanize them ending up being ridiculous (for instance some failed bro-mancy moments between the president and his guardian). It is not even the obvious stealing from other movies (there is for instance a line straight out of "The Matrix"), the bad CGI, or the bad acting (then again, what could they do with this s*** script?) - no, it is the blatant propaganda and racism at the core of the movie's mindset that both saddens and infuriates me. Had the main characters been North-Koreans fighting against the US, everybody would just laugh their asses off, because of how one-sided and stereotypical it is: Arabs are evil, Americans are civilized, end of story. Lena Riefenstahl would have been proud. Come on, is this view on the world productive in any way?

The British Prime Minister has died and leaders from around the world have come to London to pay their respects. So too have terrorists.TWO things you'll LIKE about "London Has Fallen": The action is fun and loud. There's lots of bullets and explosions and stuff. Turn up your surround sound and watch the windows vibrate. 2) Not once do you hear the omnipresent magical words usually said by terrorists before they kill the good guys.TWO things you'll DISLIKE: 1) The CGI. It's not very good. Nowadays CGI explosions look good and realistic, and it's an inexpensive (and safer) alternative to the real thing. The CHI here looks like cheap CGI. I've seen better in homemade YouTube videos. 2) The script. This movie and its lead actor are better when there's no dialogue.

Obviously this film is good in Producers, Directors, Writers and Actors. First came "Olympus Has Fallen" grossed $170 million on a $70 million budget, not bad. Next this film "London has Fallen"more successful than the first. 2018 is expected to bring Angel has Fallen. Where are the action packed Die Hard or Backdraft films, well London Has Fallen is one such film. I have read this is to similar a story, perhaps overdone and I agree it's perhaps true but it works and its why it got an 8 not 10 from me. Sometimes, If its not broken, don't fix it. In 2013 finally again a great movie year but 2016 and 2017, awful only a few good films. Change is definitely needed not in the actors but in writing, producing and directing. I'd like to see more directing in this style and in line with Ron Howard, Ben Affleck and Michael Bay.
