Usually, I don't expect much from this kind of movie, but the ignorance and stupidity with which this was made is unbelievable. In fact the stupidity of what the heck is actually happening on screen was the only thing that made me laugh for the first few minutes. After that it is just near impossible to watch for anyone who owns even the tiniest bit of brain. Whoever wrote this piece of garbage must have had a great toilet sitting for making the whole plot up, even though the other thing that came out in this sitting was probably a better creation than this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seriously, it could be worse, it could have been even less believable, but the whole story line is so simple and so single minded, that I could feel my brain cells dying while watching this on the plane.
Acting is pretty ok (7/10), effects were timely and well made (9/10), but story line (1/10) and believability (1/10) with brain numbing dose of patriotism (10/10 where more is worse...) made me pretty sad that I was watching it. In the end I wanted to cry because when president gets rescued you must feel proud and patriotic, but I felt ashamed for watching it.

Yes, it was that bad and I watched it...… Expand

This is a sequel that never should of been made. Incredibly over dramatic and tedious action. Man It seems like Gerard takes everything he is offered now.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh My Gooood I've never been so insulted by a movie in the opening act... I think even Transmorphers gave me more credit for my intelligence. And certainly more than this movie gave to Scotland Yard. Gerard Butler had God mode of course, so at least that was nice... Basically, Terrorist Independence Day - most world leaders are killed within a 5 minute destruction scene. You're telling me that within a day or so, terrorists were able to covertly plan a half dozen MAJOR attacks within one city, and undermine the secret services of 40 world powers? I was done with this as soon as it started - I'm glad this movie was only just over an hour and a half. Even Morgan Freeman couldn't absolve this movie of it's sins.… Expand

Terrorists have taken over London and it's up to Gerard Butler to protect the President from absolutely anyone as no one can be trusted. There isn't even enough laughs for this to make it into the "so bad it's good" category. Cringe inducing and over the top with horrendous dialogue. Not recommended but if you do go please leave your brain outside the door as it will not be needed.… Expand

The film desperately wants to be taken seriously though, which is difficult considering what is going on in the laughable plot. There are plenty of cliches though so yay? Don't even watch this for free, there are better shows for your time.
Oh and Morgan Freeman is in this film, but his character has zero personality.… Expand

The first one was pretty bad but had a few decent lines and was vaguely entertaining for the premise. (maybe a 5/10.) This movie takes anything that was good in the first one...and throws it in a dumpster, lights it on fire, and adds a bunch of racism, stereotyping, and poor dialogue on top of it. There are maybe a few cool action scenes but it was so bad I honestly forgot what happened...or even if I had seen it at all...until I see it was on Netflix...I fastforwarded though it in seconds...and noticed that yes, that was one of the worst movies I had the misfortune of watching. So predictable and banal...that I had forgotten most of the actual film or fast-forwarded though half of it it was so bad. If you like not just dumb action movies, but very dumb action movies, you might think this movie is OK. Suggestion: be ready to fast forward after the early explosions happen because the 2nd half of the movie...just gets worse from there. At least write in an interesting bad guy or something that hasn't been done 50,000,000 million times before and the movie might have actually been remembered for something. Terrible waste of a decent premise and decent actors: 2/10.… Expand

After watching this based on a recommendation (or at least started to watch and then gave up after 30 or so mins) I can say this is one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time.

Filled with horrible plot elements that utterly smashAfter watching this based on a recommendation (or at least started to watch and then gave up after 30 or so mins) I can say this is one of the worst movies I've watched in a long time.

Filled with horrible plot elements that utterly smash suspension of disbelief and a Pro-US bent so driven that this is comparable to the propaganda films of North Korea.

The opening scenes seem written only to directly insult every nation possible. The action is cliché and the 'world' of the movie is completely unbelievable.

Avoid this movie at all costs. If you really must waste your time, I'd recommend spending 115 mins staring at a single blade of grass - You'd likely have a better experience with greater character depth and probably a far more enjoyable story.… Expand

"London has Fallen" is one of the most boring, lifeless, dull, and uninspired movies I've ever had the misfortune of enduring. It's so bad that it makes "Olympus" look like a masterpiece.

A predictably macho-patriotic action movie with a largely overblown plot. Also, why does the entire script consist of nothing but of cheesy one-liners?!

So far... I was not expecting a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen so I knew it would be dumb in the first place without any doubt. It's like they're trying to improve what they did with Olympus Has Fallen but failed to do so every single step.

A disappointing sequel to what was an otherwise great original. The city of London is not the only thing to have fallen in this sequel, the quality of story telling has also taken a dive.

The theme of insulting your international 'BFF' has become tiresome. Presumably, US filmmakers are too scared to suggest total incompetence of 'unfriendly' States or are ignorant of the U.K. Considerable experience in matters of anti-terrorism. Yet again the world is saved by a guns-Ho US President and Special Agent (played by a Scotsman!) practically ignoring their 'saviours' in the form of a 22SAS unit, under the command of a Scotsman.
Given the choice between watching this movie or a rainy day in the Highlands - I recommend you by a disposable umbrella!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waste my time watching this movie. I understand this is an action movie. But even for an action movie, you need to have a logic that makes sense to some degree. For example:

1. Everybody at MI6, are stupid and they need a field agent come and reconnect the system.
2. For **** sake, the president of the united state is under attack and there is no field agent (CIA) in entire London or nearby to help him! What about Germany, or the Netherlands, How about NATO!!
3. There is a marshal Law thingish that is used for this kinda situations! " Oh we should do nothing and wait till our hero to kill everybody then we can take back London!"
4. In one of the absolute **** part in safe house, two MI6 field agents leave our hero and the president of the united states alone to fight to go where? what could be more important than protecting the president?

I could go forever! every part of the movie had these types of garbage.… Expand

P.S. Of all the Western media joints, in all the servers in all the Wide World Web, it's the New York Post who flashed the title saying: "Racist, idiotic ‘London Has Fallen’ is a revenge dud" - how about that!?… Expand
