I saw this as a "preview" movie this week. It officially comes out next Friday. Very intense, lots of violence. The North Koreans take the president and other officials hostage inside the White House. It was hard for me to buy - lots of protocol breaches that would not happen in real life. Some good acting by Morgan Freeman & Gerard Butler, but the actor who plays the president (Aaron Eckhart) was horrible! Bad acting and bad casting since he never seemed "presidential". Overall, too much shooting and punching and kicking for me! |

Tell me this. How is it that a mediocre Gerard Butler vehicle is closer to a proper Die Hard sequel then the actual freaking Die Hard sequel?
Honestly it would be more accurate to call this a Die Hard remake then a sequel. The plot is almost identical to the 80’s classic. I know that there is a Die Hard rip-off coming out almost every year (often two or three,) but they are rarely ever as blatant as this.
Sure there are some differences between this and Die Hard (for example Butler is no substitute for Bruce Willis.) but they aren’t enough for one to not constantly confuse the two movies. Last years Dredd had some similarities to Die Hard, but there were enough differences and twists in the movie so that it could still be enjoyed as an individual film. Olympus has fallen jus... |

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) After a tragic accident, Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) has been taken off the Presidential Detail and has been given a desk job. Banning finds himself trapped in the White House, just as it is invaded by terrorists and the President captured. Now Banning must use his Special Forces training, along with his Secret Service knowledge to rescue the leader of the free world. While not a perfect film, it is a fast moving, well-paced action film. Butler is impressive and believable as the Secret Service agent who can take a man down with one karate shot. The film has an all-star cast, with Aaron Eckhart as the President, Morgan Freeman as the Speaker of the House, Melissa Leo as the Secretary of Defense and Angela Bassett as the Director of the ... |
