So here we go, my very first non-Doctor Who review post. I tackle my first attempt at writing a movie review. These posts will be a bit shorter than my Doctor Who reviews. I want to keep the movie reviews pretty concise and not to give too much away.
So first off this is a high octane action movie. There are two types of movie watchers, those that like stupid action movies and those that don't. This is the definition of a stupid action movie. So if that is not your cup of tea then you will not enjoy this movie. But, if you do like a movie where you can just sit and watch things blow up, gun fights, and not have to think too hard then you will enjoy this movie.
Now this is your basic action movie. It did not have that great of acting, even Morgan Freeman didn't pull off a great performance. There were a ton of holes that you could poke into the plot. But the fun of these types of movies is not thinking too hard about the plot and just letting the action take over. And this movie had lots of action. If you can get by the fact that the terrorists are attacking the White House, then the action is great. It's weird to say, but it was fun to see kind of what would unfold if something like that were to happen. Even if his acting was lacking, Gerard Butler was a badass in this movie. This is the type of role you want to see Butler in and he did it to the tee. As for the plot holes, if you can get past it there is still enough plot to make the movie interesting and engaging.
As I said if these aren't the types of movies you like in the first place, then you won't like Olympus Has Fallen. But if you are an action movie fan, I would recommend it. 6.5 out of 10.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below. This will be the general format when I review movies and the score is based not just quality of the movie but also enjoyability.
