I liked it a lot.

It's definitely worth your time.

I agree just take it for what it is. Now the other one with Tatum and Fox you couldn't force me to watch at gunpoint.

It has a very original Die Hard feel to it.

The two movies are very different. Olympus Has Fallen is much darker.

I thought it was a great movie. Definitely worth watching....Unless you're one of those people who watch MOVIES and think "Oh, this isn't real life. It could never happen."

Exactly, because it does stretch the imagination. I see it being a regular on Spike or F/X for a long time to come. They will have to do a lot of editing though.

Worth a watch.

But at one point I remember saying "holy crap everyone is getting killed."

Pretty cheesy and not very good. A ton of action though. Overall I would say pass on it.

Wow. You are fricking nuts. The two aren't even close to comparable. Olympus was a complete pile of dog shite. Don't do Die Hard and its brilliance a disservice by equating it with this piece of crap movie. Talk about boring, clumsy and cliche.

The only thing I will say is one you get passed the initial "oh, bull-fricking-shite. That could never happen," it is pretty enjoyable. If you're like me, and I don't really know why it affected me like this, but I actually felt my blood start to boil a little bit during the opening 20 minutes. Be warned about that, I guess.

Pretty much second what everyone else has said - far fetched but definitely entertaining and worth the watch

worth a watch, but keep in mind that it was meant to be seen in 3D. i watched it on Netflix and thought some of the graphics were pretty bad until i remembered it was filmed for 3D and then i was ok with it.

Pretty good mindless action movie. I enjoyed it a lot more than White House Down.


On a side note, my brother is an extra and can be seen getting out of a Humvee at the White House.
