This film has ad absurdum motifs from the past, whose dubious ideological underpinnings I wouldn't worry about provided they weren't hiding behind interchangeable action that we’ve seen a thousand times before. The film begs to be part of the A-movie class through its cast but limps on both feet due to the abilities of the production team.

The previous film was at least professionally shot, but its London sequel is missing decent action scenes and special effects that would look better than average video games. I won't mention the characters and actors purely out of decency, and it's terribly evident that London's streets are just backdrops that originated in the studio somewhere. It is, in short, immensely boring. And stupid.

It was an improvement over Olympus in terms of quality. Most importantly, I got into the right vibe and managed to tune out most of the melodramatic, patriotic and determined speeches and acts, and enjoyed loads of frantic action during which the Americans totally devastated digital London and turned it into smithereens. I even enjoyed all the "amazing" escapes from tsunamis of fire which made me remember action movies from the eighties and early nineties. It was incredibly silly, but also a kind of guilty pleasure.

This simple action flick full of tough guy talk wouldn't entertain me, even if my favorite actor starred in the lead role, a league that Gerard Butler is damn far from. I don't quite understand Morgan Freeman's involvement in such a trashy film, as surely he can choose from far better offerings. (35%)

A film that satisfies the viewer by making the main character give the terrorists not one, but at least four fierce stab wounds. Mentally, London Has Fallen is at the level of Fast & Furious, but without its sense of fun. The CGI, which is important for the film’s target audience, is only average. The movie is barely kept afloat by Gerard Butler’s charisma and a spectacular one-shot shootout just before the climax.
