NOT  SO CRITICAL CRITICAL REVIEWS

Olympus has fallen was a decent movie at best, and now the studio has decided to make a sequel, but does London Has Fallen do better than it's big brother (No seriously, we didn't put our reviewer hats on for Olympus has Fallen)? Does it just match it? Or does it fail miserably? Maybe in between.

 

London Has Fallen shows Secret Service Agent Mike Banning and his wife about to have a baby, and enters contemplation on resigning from Secret Services for family time, but when Prime Minister for London ultimately dies, he has to accompany the U.S President, Benjamin Asher, to the funeral in London, where all the world leaders are meeting. Meanwhile, terrorists who were thwarted a few years before plot revenge and site London as their revenge target.  With many world leaders dying (and ultimately dead), it is up to Mike to make sure the US President is okay.

 

London Has Fallen presents itself with a major action packed set of sequences, some a bit repetitive, but very amusing to watch for the average fan of blood and gore. It also, however, fills itself with a bunch of cliches. To be honest, that is all this movie is when you look at it. Stab, shoot, cliche, repeat. No break from this pattern. There is nothing else that could be said. Enjoyable at first, then gets old.

 

London Has Fallen had potential, and part of it was use properly, part wasted. Enjoyable for a bit, but repetitive after a while. We give it 5.6 and hope if ther is to be another sequel, to expect better.
