Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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.

EBJ Plot Overview: When terrorists attack the white house and hold the president hostage, it's up to Mike Banning(Gerard Butler), a disgraced ex-secret service, to stop the terrorists and save the president.Directed by Antoine FuquaStarring: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart and Rick Yune.# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie is a solid fun time that you can enjoy. If you said it was dumb and unrealistic, I'd say you were right but that you were also taking it way too seriously. It's got solid action, a solid premise and solid acting. The plot is stupid but you just need to enjoy the film for what it is; a harmless action flick that you can watch with your friends.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Good:1. Gerard Butler provides one of his greatest ever performances as Mike Banning and you believe that he truly is a one man army.2. Aaron Eckhart does a great job as President Asher and actually impressed me.3. Morgan Freeman is great a Speaker Trumbull.4. In a very pleasant surprise, Rick Yune is fantastic in his role as Kang and provides a sinister and chilling performance that is scarily convincing. 5. All the characters, especially the villain, were interesting and had distinguishable traits.6. The premise of the movie is absolutely incredible and is just fantastic. 7. The 'End Game' weapon was also interesting and quite unique.8. After Gerard Butler has entered 'Olympus' the cinematography becomes great and you really feel isolated and alone which puts you directly in the shoes of Banning. It provides an eerie and claustrophobic atmosphere that follows you throughout the film.9. Excellent action scenes which are drastically aided by the atmosphere made by the cinematography. There is a real fear off unpredictability and you don't know when the next guys gonna come out and attack.Bad:1. Two performances didn't impress me. Radha Mitchell as Leah and Dylan McDermott as Dave Forbes. Neither actor impressed me nor did their characters even really help with the plot.2. The whole character of his wife was completely pointless and she just didn't need to exist.3. Some gunfights looked a little fight but this wasn't common.4. Most of the effects were pretty poor.8/10Would Recommend

sol- Marketed as "Die Hard in the White House", the plot of this action thriller has a lone Secret Service agent taking on North Korean terrorists who have invaded the White House (codename Olympus), holding the President hostage. The film features several gripping action scenes and some of the smaller moments (a bullet-ridden US flag) are very effective, however, the project would have benefited from all the 'Die Hard' parallels being far less pronounced. As it is, Gerard Butler sorely lacks the charisma Bruce Willis brought to the iconic 1988 film, there is significantly less comic relief, and try as Rick Yune does with the part, he is no Hans Gruber. Issues of credibility weigh heavily more against 'Olympus Has Fallen' too; whereas Willis only had to take on board a handful of terrorists in 'Die Hard', here Butler comes off almost without scratch after intense encounters with three or four times as many antagonists! To the film's credit, it does at least attempt to throw some character study in the midst with Butler haunted by an earlier incident in which he was able to save the President, but not his wife, in a road accident. Butler's rapport with the President's son feels very real too. Then again, the film never maximises the potential of Butler and the son knowing all the ins and outs and secret passageways of the White House. Butler's big advantage here is his training rather than his insider knowledge, which in turns renders the film far less interesting than it could have been even if there is a nary a boring moment in the action-packed ride.

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. Note 6.9
