Olympus has fallen





Cast: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman,Rick Yune
Directors: Antoine Fuqua
Genre: Action
 
Quite a bit of drama, but a good watch. You will love it
 
Pluses:
  • Gerard Butler, is the hero of the movie in all sense. Long time having seen him, the last was 'Chasing Mavericks'. He always confuses me with Jeremy Renner, they look like brothers :D This movie however belongs to him. Quite a drama, and loads of bravery there, to show him having rescued some top guns out of a serious attack all but by himself without any amunition of his own. Bravo! Watch it for him :)
  • Aaron Eckhart as the white President of United States must have been the first of its kinds who had a few punches on his face :D Nevertheless, for all the other time he very much looked and acted like a President, convincingly human as well while also a responsible man
  • Rick Yune, looked pretty promising as the bad man till sometime. So you will like him until our hero takes him over :)
  • Even within all the high action fallacy happening, you will really enjoy the OLYMPUS Falling and see the most guarded mansion on earth, The Whitehouse in ashes :) Enjoy it if you are a sadist :D
 
Minuses:
  • Morgan Freeman was wasted. There was nothing much for him really to offer other than co ordinating and negotiating
  • The lukewarm side of the movie was its standalone super hero Mike Banning. Quite an unrealistic thing to happen the way this entire operation was shown. The end which almost looks like cooked up and the villain forced to look down upon, not much worth appreciating. But if you consider this just as a movie, you wont mind having all the thrills :)
 
 
 
 
My Rating: 3.5/5
