London Has Fallen(2016) movie review.

The sequel to the movie Olympus Has Fallen(2013). The first film was surprisingly not a piece of garbage, but it was so-so. The impression I got from it is positive because I felt the importance and sometimes the drama of the events. I must say the villain in the first movie was good. The ending captured me and I would give the first movie a positive rating. It's just a great pop-corn fest.

I am very surprised why they decided to make a second film because the first didn't do well in the box office. Gerard Butler definitely carries the movie from the beginning to an end along with Aaron Eckhart. They're both playing and showing their professionalism as action stars. 

Morgan Freeman is also in this movie, but this time he plays a much smaller role than in the first one. It certainly disappointed me as I expected more from the film as a whole. Much more I was disappointed about the plot, although in the middle of the movie it gets on the right trail. 

The villain in this movie was boring and cliched. His plan is petty and motivation is banal.

The plot tells about the same situation as in the first film. There's a terror attack and Gerard Butler's character has to save his President and friend. His character Mike Banning is very tired from all these troubles and just angry at these terrorists and terminates them with cruelty. I think it's good for the character and adds more emotions. The movie does not take itself completely seriously. Beneath serious situations lies a bit of humor and awareness that nobody takes seriously what is happening. The film doesn't have the same feel of thrill for main characters, as the film made it clear in advance that Mike would come and kick all the ass.

Turning to the advantages can highlight the action and great chemistry between Mike and the President. Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart perfectly interact with each other and do a great job in every scene. Action sometimes is good sometimes bad. So it's 50/50. The movie has one action scene that I was very impressed by. But, overall the movie felt inconsistent. Sometimes it is good, sometimes bad. So it can be categorized as "so bad it's good".
