I think I saw one in theaters, but nothing on TV yet.

Finally saw Olympus has Fallen, which has good action in it, but a bit darker theme than White House Down with Channing Tatum (that one had a Diehard movie style to it).

Do you watch any TV? I don't watch a lot of TV and I think I've seen the trailer about 25 times.

Mark my words right now it gets at least 3 stars when the blu comes out....

Ah well, each opinion to their own. Just like when I go see the latest Transformers film, I'm not expecting sci-fi in the line of Under the Skin. I am pretty forgiving on movies, and like to enjoy them for what they offer. I am often surprise that I'll ignore a film as I hear so much about it, and then finally see it, and find I really like it and enjoy a lot of it. Even for films like Skyline and Apollo 18. I get more annoyed by the films and TV shows that get built up by hype everywhere and I feel let down.

Most people would rather see Transformers than that waste of time Under the Skin. My goodness. At least Transformers enjoys itself.

The minute I read that, I knew that I am going to love London Has Fallen. Since I thought White House Down was the crapfest and Olympus Has Fallen was the infinitely better film.

Yeah WHD was about as bad as a action movie of that kind can get... The Director of ID4 was behind that one and just like all his films it;s layered with tons of cheese.

OHF was far from perfect but IMO one of the better "Die Hard" rip offs and actually avoided some cliche moments (I thought for sure the kid was going to be a much bigger part, I liked that he killed the traitor pretty quick in the film and it was not a big reveal at the end)

I don;t think this new one will be as good. But I hope it;s got some good old R rated action!

levcore · 03-04-2016, 12:47 PM

Might catch this tomorrow. Loved OHF (and loved WHD for that matter) and this looks great.

Exactly what I am looking for too. One liners are pure 80's nostalgia captures Die Hard perfectly. Which this series clearly is remaking.

Darth Marcus · 03-04-2016, 01:25 PM

I was bored to tears with the first one, but I'll give this one a chance when it pops into Redbox or Amazon. Hopefully it will be an improvement.

Talleyrand · 03-04-2016, 01:28 PM

Haha I guess they should have gone with Russian villains. That's the only culture left who doesn't get up in arms when PEOPLE OF THAT NATIONALITY PLAY A VILLAIN (OFTEN A "COOL" CHARACTER) IN A FICTIONAL MOIVE anymore.

Political correctness and foreign box office are rapidly shrinking the pool of acceptable bad guys in Hollywood movies. Thanks to the latter, we now can't have any Chinese villains which is why we're stuck with the absurdity of North Korea attacking us in movies like Olympus Has Fallen and the Red Dawn remake(after post-production tinkering).

Damn that place sounds awesome! I wish something like that was around here. It's cool to see that their prices seem more in line with most restaurants, the theaters that have stuff like chicken fingers and beer around here charge crazy prices like you would get at a sporting event.

Nickc.uk · 03-04-2016, 05:35 PM

Went and watched this last night, all I'll say if is you liked the first film, you will enjoy this one as well.

It's a great popcorn film, yes you know the shit is going to go down and the first half hour is the set up, but this is what we need sometimes hardcore mindless action, nothing more nothing less, the baddies Arses get kicked
