As an action movie, it kept my attention. As for the content, it felt irritatingly pro-American. The movie is propaganda, as far as I'm concerned. The Americans can do no wrong - they are all very brave and professional. It's the other countries' leaders that get assassinated and whose communications get compromised. The bad guys bring up America's participation in wars abroad – among the listening Americans, there is not a single hint of self-awareness, or the slightest impression that they understand their deep hypocrisy in criticizing the terrorists for killing civilians, including as collateral damage. Pro-American: - Butler gives a speech about America while beating up a villain - The Americans can do no wrong - they are all very brave and professional - US President starts reciting his swearing-in oath while in dire straits - Only _other_ foreign leaders get assassinated - Other foreign leaders have basically no protection - Patriotic music in the background - Only foreign communications were compromised - The main villain is an arms dealer, and criticised for selling weapons, when the USA is the largest arms dealer in the world (leading in arms exports: https://worldostats.c
Read the whole review on TMDB**Real name of this film: How to insult half the allied countries in the name of one's own ego.** Occasionally, American cinema seems to need an injection of idiotic nationalism. “Olympus Has Fallen” did that, but there are still some technical and entertaining qualities there. This film fails to do the same, besides treating other countries (especially the British) like morons. And so, Americans continue to think they are the greatest nation in the world and to compete with others like teenagers measuring their… you get the point. The film is a sequel to “Olympus” and shows how the American president will escape by a hair (it can't even be considered a spoiler to say this, because the plot is so cliché that we already know more or less what will happen here in the act in which we decided to see the film!) to a terrorist attack which, in fact, is more like an act of war. Yes, a terrorist decides to send an army to kill Western prime ministers and presidents who gather in London for a state funeral and all the police and security agencies in the West were asleep and didn't see them. As expected, God saves the Queen and the entire Windsor family, who are not even targeted by the atta
Read the whole review on TMDB> 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,
