London Has Fallen (2016)

Lack of good storyline.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Don't Believe the Hype

best movie i've ever seen.

Maybe this stuff got Donald Trump elected. If Fox news was out to bring a movie, it would be something like this. Confirming stereotypes, unintelligent conversations, unrealistic action plots and shameless pumping nationalism.

I literally created my account JUST to review this movie. I noticed there were quite a few negative reviews of this movie-saying that it's over the top, unrealistic, and down right bad. While I agree that many of the scenes feel unrealistic, I can say with certainty that I watch movies for that reason! If I wanted reality, I would watch a documentary or reality TV.The entire plot is one that I've never seen before. After the Prime Minister of England passes, all the world leaders gather to honor him and attend his funeral. While there, it becomes apparent that a terrorist organization has other plans. I was taken back when I realized just HOW they went about unfolding their plans. At one point I felt as though every person in the town was a terrorist! They were coming out of every nook and cranny of that place! Definitely kept me on the edge of my seatThe acting is nowhere near Oscar worthy, but it's not the worst I've ever seen. There were some cheesy one liners that I could have done without, and I get annoyed when movies make the president seem weak and afraid (I like to view my president as powerful and strong), but even with those few flaws, it still delivered.Overall, while there were "action-movie-cliches" and stereotypes, I went into the experience with those expectations. Name me one movie in 2017 that isn't like that. In a world of remakes and re-releases, I wonder why anyone is disappointed in a movie like this. I would definitely re-watch, and recommend to family and friends!

More like, "Script Standards Have Fallen". Was this an exercise in how much money will it take for these great actors to sell themselves out? This movie had to have been written for The Simpsons' McBain. Not even a good popcorn movie. Fortunately, most Londoners who survived The Bliz have passed away so they didn't have to suffer again by having to watch this movie.

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.
