Olympus Has Fallen

by jazzy_marc2007

Very good and even had my daughter amazed at it and she is a hard one to get a reaction like that out of something! Great movie and worth it.

It's about to go DOWN!

The roles could not have been given to better actors. Even with the big names, a shiny performance by Melissa Leo. Hats off to the blend of bad*** kick the bad guys butt and a laugh under pressure script.

AWESOME MOVIE!!!

by Krayzeegrl

This has been th first movie in years that I've went to that the audience really got into the characters and hat was going on in the scene.. There were cheers nd laughter and some hell yeahs. Nd the only movi sinc The Dark Knight (with the now deceased Heath Ledger) ha an audience applauded at the end of the movie!!! I will most certainly see it again. But I hate hearing how awesome a movie was cause I feel I'm being set up for disappointment. Just go in knowing its a good ride and you'll enjoy it!!!

Olympus has fallen

by wrosadot

Mannnnnnnnnnn, that movie is awesome. Since I arrive to this country this is the best movie that I have ever seen. My advice, spend the money, buy the tickets and you will spend 2 incredible hours watching this movie.

OMG!

by freddyivy

If you are a true blue American you will cry when you see this movie. If you are an action junky, this movie will not be a quicky fix. If you like the all American hero, than this is the movie for you. My husband had to remind me during the show that it was just a movie because I was so emotional. People, GO GO GO!!!!! I will watch this movie a thousand time & not get tired of it. It's Independence Day, Air Force One, The Siege, & Delta Force all in one. Great acting from an elite group, should be sent to all foreign countries so they don't get any ideas. Used as a training vehicle for Special Forces. ENJOY!

Olympus Rocks

by

This is a great group of actors AND this show used the abilities of those actors to pull it off. Great action flick. I admit to being taken back (slight flashbacks of the Towers) when they stormed the White House. The sense of national shock really hit me. My husband kept reassuring me it was "just a movie." It better be. If you gotta get that adrenaline pumping - this is the movie. Way to go Butler.

Had me on the edge of my seat!

by svazquez3801

Great movie! Exciting from start to finish. Even my girlfriend who hates it when I pick movies, go figure, said she was on the edge of her seat from start to finish. So its a definite must see! A lot better than I expected, a very pleasant surprise for the both of us!

Makes You Proud to Be an American

by Beautiful starlette

Well, this was a date night movie and even though I really wanted to see Admission, hubby really wanted to see this one. I gave in.

High body count, for sure, but I got past that. Gerard Butler was excellent as the Secret Service agent with the tainted past who ended up saving the day. If anyone in the theater walked out without at least one patriotic thought, then they were dead.

I wouldn't recommend for a date night movie, but overall, it's a good flick.

Could this really happen in America?

by tombarbfam4

The terrorists in this movie planned for every possible occurrence when taking over the White House. They knew every foot of the White House inside and out and used this to their advantage. They almost got away with it and I couldn't help but wonder.....could something like this happen in America?

Agreed to go to this movie with hubby because I love Morgan Freeman, but found myself chewing my nails for 2 hours. It was riveting and very realistically done. (Never heard the F Word that many times ever, even though I had read the reviews and knew it was coming. Unbelievable. But somewhat understandable in military circles under pressure.)

A must see!

This movie is full of awesome special effects and action. The plot is rich with surprises and nail biting suspense. If you are a fan of the Die Hard plot base you will love this movie.

INCREDIBLE

by

"OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN" In my mind it was another "AIR FORCE ONE" movie. The film had me on the edge of my seat the entire length of the movie. Gerard Butler(Mike Banning), Aaron Eckhart(President Benjamin Asher), and Morgan Freeman(Speaker Trumbull) did a tremendous job acting in this epic action packed protect the President feature film. There is no negotiating with terrorists even when you think you have no more hope. The United States of America never lets down. WE WILL keep fighting for our freedom and democracy and the safety of the American people and civilians. There are two subjects that have my full honor and respect, and that is OUR military and OUR President of the United States of America. That being said, If you haven't seen "OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN", then get off your *** and go see it today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very believable and much better than I thought it would be.....

by Jannk

My husband, Navy vet, LOVES movies like these so I through it would be a treat for him. Little did I know that this movie would have such an effect on me. We live in the DC area and seeing Olympus fall, we live about 8 miles for the White House, was so believable and a little scary that it brought tears to my eyes. The main players in the movie could be a little predictable, but I enjoyed the story line,even though I covered my eyes a few times. Let's just say my sailor has a chick flick in his future.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN

by nathanieljh29

GREAT movie with a lot of action and was very entertaining. Yeah, some of it seemed farfetched, but I went to see this movie to be entertained and it did that, from beginning to heart- pounding end! This is my first rating of a movie online, and in my opinion, is a MUST see!

Not even Morgan Freeman

by ChefJ196718

... could save this movie. Really it IS an interesting action movie. If you want plenty of **** blowing up and lots of fireballs. There is MUCH wanton bloodshed and a number of executions and "knives in brains". WTF??? Riidulously over-acted and terminally bloody it just misses the mark of credible cinema and will likely line the shelves at Walmart in a few weeks. If you're going to have so much violence you should have thrown in a little gratuitious sex, too.

NOT $11.50 movie, but good on a big screen with big blow-up sound.

Personally, there are some incongruities that are really annoying - like the crappy depictions of DC, the Mall and surrounds. If you're going to blow up the white house make it look like the white house for F-sake. Also there is a very annoying and over-used "pop, pop, pop" sound that is added to the explosions when the AC 130 Spectre is straffing - it appears in the right channel of the sound and is used a few too many times.
