to think that Olympus Has Fallen may be the craziest film I've ever started??

Ok we started this shit film 40 minutes ago.... Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman.... Sounded ok

But my god it has seemed like the biggest pile of crap ever to date. No way could the white house fall like that and it's like every baddie bullet hits the target whilst all the good guys miss and get killed. Those bad Koreans just seems so typecast too!

Aibu to think I should save myself the next hour and just stop now?

It is worth it just to see the gorgeous Mr Butler in action imo, however it is brutal and the storyline is pretty unrealistic, and one of the actresses in it is really annoying, watch Law Abiding Citizen instead, that is an excellent film.

I just spent the film wishing that someone would shoot Gerard Butler.

YANBU! I found that mumsnetting whilst 'watching' helped to improve it.

TheCrackFox · 20/09/2013 22:22

It's one of those films that would have been improved with the addition of aliens or, perhaps, psychotic robots.

CoteDAzur · 20/09/2013 22:23

YABU. It's an action movie. With Gerard Butler. What more do you need? Wink

Law Abiding Citizen is obviously about a million times better.

No the worst one he did was Attila the Hun, I still watched him it though Grin I am currently watching Movie 43, this is probably a contender unless it improves soon.

I always say to my DS when he says a film is unbeilievable is that the first rule of watching a film is to suspend disbelief.

giveityourbestshot your name is sooo apt for this film.... Only the baddies can apparently give it their best shot, the entire us secret service sucks....

Except for GB obviously, he is brooding, a good shot and has some kind of matrix shield against bullets, they just whizz round him!

Could not bring myself to watch a US self-love fest that had the gall to name itself as the mount of the gods! The arrogance astounds me.

sonlypuppyfat I watch lots of action type movies with dh, I'm an action movie kinda gal. I don't mind suspending disbelief, I can do alien invasion and everything but if I could find my biscuit emoticon this film could have it.

There's suspending disbelief and then there's leaving disbelief on the next planet whilst sucking a crazy gullible lollipop....

I liked it!

And I don't know if it's unbelievable as I've never been to The White House and I'm not a terrorist or secret agent.

KatyTheCleaningLady · 20/09/2013 22:54

It was stupid and I enjoyed it. The POTUS saying "give them the code! They'll never get it out of me!" made me lol.
