Olympus Has Fallen Movie Review: | |
This ludicrous actioner strives to be as loud, violent, and patriotic as possible. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader Fuqua doesn't deliver on what he has set up. David Denby-New Yorker Olympus Has Fallen is a disgusting piece of work, but it certainly hits its marks - it makes you sick with suspense. David Edelstein-Vulture The carnage is cruel and crude. David Edelstein-New York Magazine A typical slab of Hollywood action in which the White House crumbles under attack, the American flag is tattered and tossed aside by baddies, and clichés rise like gods. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times 'Olympus Has Fallen is just too much of a pale 'Die Hard' ripoff. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com Amid all of its hollow patriotism and gaps in logic, perhaps the biggest flaw with the film is its sheer predictability. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Impressive special effects and action scenes, including knocking off the top of the Washington Monument, blowing up one of the wings of the White House, but it can't overcome a dumb plot and lack of interesting characters. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope If you go in with an extremely specific set of expectations about what you want from an R-rated thriller released in March, it is likely to leave you satisfied. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy A big, boomy, flag-waving bash of lug-headed escapism. Neil Pond-American Profile Assembled from other movies with the main template being Under Siege, plus the attitude from Die Hard and a blow-things-to-hell ambiance from any Michael Bay movie. Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly Red meat for the red state-minded -- and something of an embarassment for the rest of us. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) big and dumb and more fun than a barrel of Bruce Willises. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat A movie that drudges up the painful feelings associated with 9/11 just to make its routine, by-the-numbers action seem more relevant than it really is? Thanks, but no thanks. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat Director Fuqua, who guided Denzel Washington to an Oscar in "Training Day," has a great eye for action and stages the initial attack on the nation's capital with some breath-taking special effects. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes Director Antoine Fuqua just winds it up and sets it loose. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Even a mindless popcorn movie needs to bear some plausibility and this one pulls too hard on my belief suspenders. All the explosions and bombastic violence in the world cannot hide a dumb flick and there we have Olympus Has Fallen. Diva Velez-TheDivaReview.com If nothing else it means, for the moment at least, that our long national Gerard Butler rom-com nightmare is over. Dave White-Movies.com You don't just need to suspend your sense of disbelief for it. You need to take it, wad it up into a tight little ball, and throw it as far away from you as possible. Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs ...a blatant ripoff of the Bruce Willis Die Hard movies, the tension-enhancing score helps to make it an entertaining trip... Tony Medley-Tolucan Times plays so much like the original Die Hard, with so many plot points lifted and transcribed into the new setting, that one could play a potentially lethal drinking game putting away shots every time you spot one James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk The cliché count is neck-and-neck with the body count in this hyperviolent and cheerfully destructive thriller. Corey Hall-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) 'Rambo' in the White House! Gerard Butler is an action superstar of guts and glory. A gripping edge-of-your-seat thriller with first rate direction by Antoine Fuqua. A must-see for action fans. Pete Hammond-Movieline | |
