Review of London Has Fallen (2016) by Jaime L — 03 Jul 2016

Olympus Has Fallen was one of the worst films I had ever seen. Was the sequel any better? Well... London Has Fallen was merely terrible, one of the worst of the year instead of worst ever made for me. The definition of a "turn your brain off" kind of film, unfortunately I like using my brain so this wasn't possible. I don't mind improbable thins happening in movies, in fact its almost guaranteed. However this movie like its predecessor takes improbable to a whole new level of absurd.

Ludicrous like Olympus Has Fallen was with bad guys popping up randomly, explosions and ambushes conveniently placed with of course a traitor to help make it all possible. Horrid dialogue and "jokes" (though again not as bad as the first film) with a nauseatingly corny "speech" in the face of execution (also not as bad as when it happened in Olympus) that really makes it memorable in how outright stupid the entire film is.

Really the only thing that saves London Has Fallen from getting half a star like the first film did was simply that all the bad things were not quite as prevalent. The dialogue not quite as bad, the absurdity not quite as bothersome, the villains not quite as cartoonish. Though all of this was still certainly the case. Well movie I wondered if you could possibly be worse than Olympus and you proved not to be. I don't know whether I should be disappointed or not.
