Love watching Gerard Butler films. Coolest part of the film is that it's a RESET from the first film. There were great moments of military tactics involved. Other times it felt a bit plot armored. I don't see how a terrorist organization can get to this level of well.....organization. Too organized entirely. However, I enjoyed the plot and the climatic finish.

بالرغم من انني لمافهم شيىء الا انه مان هناك نوع من اكشن و دراما كانلعب الادوار جيد

The most I’ve laughed at a movie in a very long time. It’s not a good movie by any measure but it is really funny.

Great storyline of the movie but not as much action as the first. They went with the more drama side of things on this movie.

O roteiro aparentemente tinha 3 páginas com muitas frases de efeito, as cenas são trechos de vídeos retirados do YouTube e ter um CGI aceitável não torna nem de longe esse filme decente, é mais um pornô pra quem tem fetiche em tiros e perseguição de carro, no fim só mais uma bomba propagandista da hegemonia ocidental entregando muita xenofobia e cenas com a bandeira dos EUA tremulando com uma trilha épica bem vagabunda.

Story and Action is good and was never boring. Lineup is also nice. Like alway it's a typical American movie, where the rest of the world is only bad in their opinion.. if the world is only that simple.

Definitely thr best film in the trilogy. Acting is great and the special effects are decent.

Not sure why such a low score. We loved the series of Mike Banning and London Has Fallen is a great spy / action movie.

Following the last film's template, London Has Fallen has less villain appeal and strength, and the plot's far-fetched scope also turns the picture into a patriotic dream with American "Wolf Warrior"-like sensations.

The plot of this movie is too obvious. The action was good, but the story is so bad that I don't want to see it again.

Oh le beau, le magnifique nanar que voilà ! très drôle à certains moments (sans doute à l'insu de son plein gré, je crois, car il prend tout au premier degré...) il aurait même pu prétendre au titre si convoité de "comédie de l'année" (involontaire) s'il avait trouvé un meilleur rythme et forcé davantage la caricature de ces grosses hollywooderies pleines d'action et de gros cons dedans ! C'est que le rythme est tout de même crucial pour un navet de cet acabit, le genre de navet qui se prend pour un "blockbuster" (mais sans les moyens) et malheureusement ici, il faut poireauter 25 mn de temps d'exposition ridicule avant que ça ne commence à péter. Par la suite, on tombe encore sur des moments de flottement qui sont autant de lenteurs (stupides) qui viennent plomber le fameux rythme indispensable à toute comédie d'action... On rigole en tout cas autant devant l'indigence des effets spéciaux numériques que devant les cascades, explosions en tout genre et autres fusillades très improbables... hélas, loin d'exploiter toutes les conneries d'un tel merdier (même sans faire exprès) ce nanar reste encore trop droit dans ses bottes et son inénarrable stupidité malgré une réalisation tout-à-fait correcte et un Butler léonidé très buté qui montre encore les dents ou les crocs avec enthousiasme ! Vraiment dommage, car certains répliques sont mémorables avec par exemple "dans 1000 ans, dans 2000 ans, on sera encore là pour vous faire chier !"... et t'as bien raison Léonidas, fous-y leur la pâtée à ces 'culés !

Enjoyable!Amazing score and action every scene was thrilling some moments were intense starting was shocking when they gathered and killed presidents and the scene were mike finds the team was not there's by looking at sweat was clever ending fight was amazing felt like playing counterstrike and hitman great acting,engaging plot amazing movie if u want to watch movie to entertain!

Not terrible but unless you love Gerard Butler you won't find much to like in this film.

La Chute de Londres Un bon film au scénario d'un Call of Duty. Certaine incohérence dans les effets spéciaux. C'est agençant que le mouvement de l'aire d'un hélicoptère ne soit pas respecté de maniére fiable sur les vêtements ou les cheveux... Mais passons. Pour le reste les effets de balles géniales, les stratégies de combat par piqure c'est excellent. Un film tourné comme dans le passer j'adore gros méchant un gros pétage de plomb ça me va. Course poursuite chorégraphie au couteau ficelé de maniére maline -Des musiques que j'ai oubliées -Un acteur que je veux revoir -Pas de 3D ni de Dolby Atmos

osm epic movie ever , best movies never seen before.. how brave soldier really great movie...

Disfrute mucho de la primer entrega a pesar de ser poco realista pero ésta va un paso más allá en lo absurdo pese a sus buenas escenas de acción.

Beyond bad. The first one was pretty bad but had a few decent lines and was vaguely entertaining for the premise. (maybe a 5/10.) This movie takes anything that was good in the first **** throws it in a dumpster, lights it on fire, and adds a bunch of racism, stereotyping, and poor dialogue on top of it. There are maybe a few cool action scenes but it was so bad I honestly forgot what **** even if I had seen it at all...until I see it was on Netflix...I fastforwarded though it in **** noticed that yes, that was one of the worst movies I had the misfortune of watching. So predictable and banal...that I had forgotten most of the actual film or fast-forwarded though half of it it was so bad. If you like not just dumb action movies, but very dumb action movies, you might think this movie is OK. Suggestion: be ready to fast forward after the early explosions happen because the 2nd half of the movie...just gets worse from there. At least write in an interesting bad guy or something that hasn't been done 50,000,000 million times before and the movie might have actually been remembered for something. Terrible waste of a decent premise and decent actors: 2/10.

A predictably macho-patriotic action movie with a largely overblown plot. Also, why does the entire script consist of nothing but of cheesy one-liners?!

Action movies didn't really take off until the 1980s, when the technology caught up with the big ideas. Out of those films some big stars emerged, many of which are still hanging in there making movies today. However, in recent years a new crop of action star has emerged, one that is more charismatic and more of an actor than just simply a big guy. One of the most exciting of the pack is the star of London Has Fallen, Gerard Butler. After surviving a kidnapping attempt in the thrilling, Olympus Has Fallen, President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) won't go anywhere without Mike Banning (Butler) by his side. Despite a lot of chatter, the pair travel to London for a world summit, where terrorists plan on doing a lot more than talking. They plan to distract the high police and military presence by attacking the city, thereby leaving President Asher vulnerable to assassination. So if I'm understanding this correctly, blowing up half of London will distract the U.S. Secret Service enough to leave the U.S. President vulnerable? This is why nobody watches action films for the story lines. We watch these movies to see the incredible moves, the gratuitous violence, the unbelievable special effects, and of course that catch phrase we all know is coming. Gerard Butler stars and he just gets better with every film he is in, as his technique and style remind me so much of a young Bruce Willis. Let's just hope that M. Night Shyamalan doesn't make him shave his head and turn him into a zombie as well. Assisted by a cast of veteran award winners the likes of Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, and Angela Bassit, this film doesn't just have the moves, but it has the star power to back it up. The story here is absolutely ridiculous, but when it comes to a great action film, who really cares? London Has Fallen has everything you could ever ask for from an action movie and it's star is only continuing to rise.

This is a sequel that never should of been made. Incredibly over dramatic and tedious action. Man It seems like Gerard takes everything he is offered now.

This movie is the definition of average. Almost everything in the movie, from the action to the story to the special effects are just plain standard. It is entertaining and the plot makes sense most of the time (though there are some moments where you really have to just go along with it), but the movie is very forgettable. I would say this is a fun watch but nothing spectacular.

London Has Fallen tries to be bigger in scale and scope than it's predecessor, and because of that it contains scenes of destruction and exploding buildings containing really bad visual effects. I understand this isn't a big budget movie so it obviously not going to have the great effects, but if that's the case then why try use them when they're just going to be bad?

After watching this based on a recommendation (or at least started to watch and then gave up after 30 or so mins) I can say this is one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time. Filled with horrible plot elements that utterly smash suspension of disbelief and a Pro-US bent so driven that this is comparable to the propaganda films of North Korea. The opening scenes seem written only to directly insult every nation possible. The action is cliché and the 'world' of the movie is completely unbelievable. Avoid this movie at all costs. If you really must waste your time, I'd recommend spending 115 mins staring at a single blade of grass - You'd likely have a better experience with greater character depth and probably a far more enjoyable story.

Is Gerald Butler a badass? Sure he is. Is it enough to save this entire movie? Nope. Other than a cool tracking shot in the third act, London Has Fallen is an overall idiotic movie. I understand it's meant to be over the top and a throw back to classic 80s action films but it was style over substance through and through.

Another one of the "terrorist group declares war on the entire world and somehow is more powerful than the rest of the world's army combined" hollywood film, with zero respect for the viewer's intelligence. The film desperately wants to be taken seriously though, which is difficult considering what is going on in the laughable plot. There are plenty of cliches though so yay? Don't even watch this for free, there are better shows for your time. Oh and Morgan Freeman is in this film, but his character has zero personality.

Non ho mai visto tanti stereotipi e assurdità in un unico film d'azione. Il cast è buono, ma la trama fa acqua da tutte le parti, senza contare le solite esagerazioni dei film americani anni 80... Commando fra tutti. Se ti esalti facilmente con queste cose allora è il film per te, in alternativa puoi impiegare meglio il tuo tempo.

It's the type of movie you watch just to see people get shot and stuff get blown up. So don't expect things like intelligence or even originality. What you can expect is a whole lot of American, anti-terrorism pride. The kind anyone who loves this country can cheer for, but still be a little embarrassed about around non-Americans. All in all though it's decent patriotism porn. And at the end of the day the action is just fun. The special effects might scream budget action movie, but when the bullets are flying and buildings are popping it's hard to care. It's also a surprisingly brutal movie. There are a few scenes where it really doesn't pull any punches and gets graphics with it's depiction of things like torture. Almost to the point of sadism. The plot is nothing more than an excuse to get all the mayhem started. The terrorists are doing, you know, terrorist stuff and Gerard Butler is acting as a one man army on a rampage to save the president because you don't mess with the USA. I can put up with all that. I'm only here for the violence anyway. It's just a shame I have to listen to the dialog though. Oh, and every character but the one Butler is playing is an idiot. Seriously though, this dialog ****. The characters just say dumb stuff. When it tries to get all emotional and dramatic on us, it's just too cheesy and cliché to buy into. Not too mention a lot of these actors just aren't up to par with likes of Morgan Freeman. Seriously what is he doing in a movie like this? The guy deserves better than his recent run of films. So if you haven't picked up on this yet, what I'm saying is show up for the boom boom and nothing else. This isn't high art and certainly isn't intelligent. Yet, I can't say I wasn't entertained. I liked the not so good looking action and it got my inner patriot cheering for another win for America. I'd be embarrassed to show it to my non-American friends or the ones who demand a little more thoughtfulness from their movies. When it comes down to it though, it's disposable, mindless entertainment. A reminder that these colors don't run, that can be some stupid fun. 6.6/10

This film by a second-film director runs hot and cold. Sometimes you're on the edge of your seat, other times you're throwing popcorn at the screen. The central characters just aren't cast well either. Aaron Eckhart as a gun-slinging president is a bit too much, and why? We've had a black president for 7 yrs now, why not cast a black guy for the part? And Gerard Butler was great as King Leonidas in "300" but is so many kinds of wrong as head of the presidential security detail. Then there's the whole premise as to how ANY organization could plot such a sophisticated takedown of London without being found out makes you wonder how this film ever got the green light and funding. You know why? Because of the platform it gives us to tell the terrorists to bite the big one. There were several moments belonging to Gerard's character and Aaron's that were devoted to telling the terrorists to GTH. And that's the whole point of the film so that's why it was made and why you watch.

Action movies, regardless of their explicit intent or savage coincidences, always tend to be a blend of entertainment, and implicitly, a political mine-field waiting to be criticized for its portrayal of the bad guys. Bad guys, no matter how hard you try to justify them, are always the main concern and heavily scrutinized subject of many critics and talks within action movies. Now, after 2013’s obsession with White House abduction movies, White House Down and the original Olympus Has Fallen, which spawned our currently reviewed London Has Fallen, its hard not to be political when the main players in the film are today’s world leaders. In 2013, London’s predecessor Olympus Has Fallen showed a very political situation of a North Korean terrorist trying to unify Korea by capturing the American President, and using it as leverage to remove American opposition in North Korea for a South Korean invasion. While London Has Fallen does not have as much of a very intellectual plot as its original, one thing is for sure, the action, language and kick-ass Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) are amped up to mirror signature John McClane moments, but never ever quite passes them. London Has Fallen is a less thought-out actioner, yet, the film tries to out-do its predecessor’s actions, with a smaller budget, which never boasts well for action movies. Usually, when studios give a smaller budget to sequels, their faith in the subject matter is not very convincing. Yet, London Has Fallen is a more aggressive, solid action film that Olympus on many levels, and perhaps thats because of the cast and crew’s fun with the material, rather than a serious tone found in the first film. Rugged with grit and braun, London Has Fallen is easily a fun and mindless action movie for die-hard action movie fans, as well as passive fanfare for casual action fans to the genre as well. Filled with ridiculous one-liners, sometimes really animated and disgraceful action special effects and some serious contemplative moments of justification and reveal, London Has Fallen is the perfect post-Oscar action movie to cozy up to for the month of March. As mentioned above, Olympus was a much more plot-heavy and politically savvy action film, while London is nothing short of a revenge film. But who is to say revenge films are bad? Anyone remember Kill Bill or Mad Max: Fury Road? The baddie this time, Aamir Barkawi (Alon Aboutboul) is a arms-dealing terrorist, arming any nation or any one body, with deep enough pockets, with weapons that could take out some of the world largest and longest standing national landmarks. When his dealings get him directly entangled with the interests of the United States, the United States military orders a drone strike attack on Aamir and his family. Of course, to amp up the melodrama and emotions, despite all of the intelligence of the United States government, the day of the strike is the same day as Aamir’s youngest daughter’s wedding. Barely escaping the bombing of the United States, Aamir and his son Kamran Barkawi (Waleed Zuaiter) spend two long, hard year, devising a plan that will get their revenge and debt in blood. Upon the news of the sudden death of the British Prime Minister, President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) along with his top personal Secret Service Agent Banning, make their way to the UK for a highly publicized funeral for the former Prime Minister. Gathering some of the biggest leaders in the world, Barkawi’s plans being to unfold, trapping leaders, bombing landmarks and killing off thousands of people, including innocent civilians, in an attempt to capturing the leader of the free world, and globally broadcasting his execution. Banning, whose steps ahead of every nations top security outlets, goes above and beyond his duties, not informing a single soul of the President’s movements and plans. His quick decisions saves the President for as long as he can, until he in inevitably captured and planned to be publicly executed for fear propaganda. Some of the most interesting parts of London Has Fallen aren’t even within the scenes of the film, but facts surrounding the film as a whole make for one interesting little pop culture entry. Olympus, which was directed by American go-to action director Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw and The Equalizer) dropped out of the sequel, and was replaced, surprisingly by Iranian born filmmaker Babak Najafi, the man behind the Easy Money sequel and Berlin Film Festival darling Sebbe. What’s truly surprising with London is the studio’s confidence in an International director taking the reigns of a quite heavy Pro-America action film, one that has no problem showcasing the always tacky shots of the tattered American flag victoriously whisking in the wind over a sunrise or sunset.

This movie is basically all action and not that much of the plot - basically it banks on showing you how the terror is happening in London and how many landmarks they can destroy in the movie. Yes the action itself is cool, but basically movie doesn't bring anything else. As this is intended to be action movie I did give it 5/10, as I wanted to see action and the action was good. But the plot itself is basically absolutely predictable and doesn't bring anything new really, even though the beginning was promising.

The set-piece destruction of London landmarks is good special effects, but otherwise this is a limp affair. No surprises, obvious plotting, dull script. This had me yawning in my chair and drinking coffee to get through it on the off-chance that it might improve. It didn't.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Not the same as the first "Has Fallen" movie, but that's good. Too many sequels are a bore because it's the same story line, the same characters, the same flaws, etc. Maybe the low scores are due to the characters "Dirty Harry" attitudes, "you didn't have to kill him" "I know." The movie assumes you saw "Olympus has Fallen" so you know the characters, you know the back story, and the sequel starts from there. Maybe a lot of low scores are from viewers who didn't see "Olympus."

This is one of the worst movies I have seen in my entire life. Usually, I don't expect much from this kind of movie, but the ignorance and stupidity with which this was made is unbelievable. In fact the stupidity of what the heck is actually happening on screen was the only thing that made me laugh for the first few minutes. After that it is just near impossible to watch for anyone who owns even the tiniest bit of brain. Whoever wrote this piece of garbage must have had a great toilet sitting for making the whole plot up, even though the other thing that came out in this sitting was probably a better creation than this movie.

Non-stop action, full of brutal kill scenes, and some hilarious, albeit corny one liners. My only knock is the lighting is kind of sub par in the occasional scene. Overall the movie delivered on everything I had expected it to.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Very enjoyable great action movie! The critics are way too harsh & strict. At least take it as a not serious action movie that its only purpose is to entertain you & not make you think deeply. Its a really fun kick ass popcorn movie!

Most of the criticism for this film is based on politics. When you take your mind off that and on the film itself it's just okay. I happened to enjoy Olympus has Fallen and while this one tries to duplicate some of the same tropes, it falls short. In the end it's not horrible it's just mediocre. C+

From an action packed flick to a game mode! The first film was a decent entertainer, I kind of liked that and a box office hit as well. So the producers saw an opportunity to bring another film and yep, this film did slightly better than the original, but the product was qualityless. The graphics were just okay, but overall very poor in those blow-up scenes which were the most essential for a theme like this. Not all, though some of the action sequences were terrible and the story was very weak. In fact, there's no story, the whole film was an action- thriller just like the previous film. But that's how this theme revolves, yet as a one, it is a bit disappointing follow-up without surprises. Anyway, I'm with the original film director who backed out of the project for giving him a bad script to direct. So the London is the latest victim of the plot for the US president's assassination. Particularly this 2nd part looked so much more alike a computer game than actors who are exhibiting their roles. Like the London is a battlefield and level after level the story making its progress till the game over, but we know who wins in the end. I don't know whose performance was much better, because I did not find anyone with par to appreciate. What this film did at the box office was a miracle, so I don't think the filmmakers go for another script anytime soon. But if they do, I'm wondering which capitol would be the next victim of a terror attack. Expecting Tokyo or Canberra, especially Mumbai would be an ideal location. This is not a bad film, you can try it once, but watching it like sitting next to who's with xbox joystick. 6/10

A failed attempt to reproduce the “somewhat” glamour-ish ‘Olympus Has fallen’, but failed with originality, character depth and basic storytelling. It’s a big action-sequel but it doesn’t have the thrills nor the breathtaking aspects that’s supposed to define the genre. Add non-existing & despicable characters; well that’s ‘London Has Fallen’. The whole flick is about the fast plot and plot only, which is fun for some individuals but meh for others, and the structure of the film is one big mess with expositions and predictability all over the place. The actors though. Damn great! But what a waste of their careers. Another film with destruction of famous landmarks, but it’s a fast-paced and somewhat enjoyable (but messy) ride. Personal rating: 50/100 Critical rating: 37/100

Decent movie where Gerald Butler is portrayed as the fighter/defender in which he shines. The plot was pretty straight forward but nevertheless was it catchy enough to stay in the story. You can expect some decent action throughout the movie which keeps you hooked but don't expect to much of a plot, which was in my eyes decided and "revealed" in the first 10 minutes.

This movie ****, why? -There is barely any plot. -Cheap action. -The dialogue and the characters are forgettable. -The acting is mediocre There are still positives but can I find any to give this movie a 5/10?

London Has Fallen is directed by Babak Najafi and include the main cast of Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman. I enjoyed the movie throughout, even though it started off really boring it definitely had some interesting parts here and there. The ending is also quite fun, in a turn-your-brain-off kind of way. What bothered me the most was the editing, which was terrible up until that one-shot sequence at the end, where it finally got a bit better. Gerard Butler is really great on the role, a total badass, even though he was so in a very unrealistic way. The overall character fits with the theme of the movie. Aaron Eckhart is also fine here, as he is in any movie ever. I think this actor is terribly underrated and overlooked no matter what role he is playing. The CGI is pretty underwhelming, they should have increased the budget from the first movie, which was also better in almost every aspect than this sequel. London Has Fallen is not made to be over analyzed, it is just a fun action meaningless, suspenseful and to a point unnecessary movie that's made for 90's action movie fans to enjoy.

"London has Fallen" is one of the most boring, lifeless, dull, and uninspired movies I've ever had the misfortune of enduring. It's so bad that it makes "Olympus" look like a masterpiece.

Good cast and acting with a common action movie plot , I would probably give it a 6 as I did for Olympus Has Fallen 2013 rate it 6 to me 6 is a not bad score from my point of view watchable movies started with 5 up . below 5 if you like to kill some time movies , The reason I give this 5 because of it's bad special and visual effects failure I know its so poor and some scene looks like a game but I can't just take out more than 1 score for that and totally forget about the movie so there you have it . Please rate a movie wisely some users don't do 2 to 9 they only rate 1 for bad and 10 for good that's why we get fooled by most of that high rated movies and the same of very low rated movies that actually deserves more points !

The film is just another generic action film with wasted talents. Plot is a mess,action might be okay but the sheer number of action films that I've seen in recent years are better than this pile of turd.With a great and talented cast which again was wasted because of how horrible the film was equip with terrible action set pieces,the film didn't live up to it's predecessor because the movie takes place in a huge city rather than just one building,the film did nothing original just another generic action film that no one wants.

This is one of these films which draws an unfair assessment. Not sure why so many disliked it . The storyline made sense. The acting was performed well. As in all shoot'em up movies some scenes are questionable as far as presenting a realistic shootouts but overall both my wife and myself was not disappointed .Ignore the ire of some and see it for yourself

Great above average action film. London has Fallen does have its cliched moments, but it really has a good plot/script and some amazing/intense action sequences. I think this was a great film overall, and in fact I thought I enjoyed every single scene. Every single scene seems to have entertained me! I don't know why but I think critics are really bashing these types of films, like White House Down. (91/100)

plodding and ugly with a gross attitude of "white people are good, brown people are bad" that I couldn't get past. pair that with terrible one-liners and unnecessarily excessive violence, this is an extremely unpleasant watch.

London has Fallen is loud, lazy and cheap looking. It takes a serious issue, something the critics don't won't to address, and turns it into a video game.
