It started the series off in DC with an unimaginable feat... Terrorists taking over the White House, But Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) Saves the day in this action packed assault on the senses... Wow! don't I sound like a jacket copyrighter.. (if you don't get the watch more movies ;) ) great movie, got both this one and London Has Fallen at Best Buy for great price for both Blu-ray and Digital combo pack...

My family and I really enjoyed this movie. It made us wonder what really goes on concerning and within the White House.

One of the best action packed movies, that actually has a purpose and has a great diolog! I love Gerard Buter, as well Aaron Eckhart, so it was a no brainer for me to see this movie. The interaction between Butler and Eckheart was trully amazing and I hope to see them in other movies. For men, they had amazing chemistry between them and that pulled me more into the movie. The movie was easy to follow, even though it was loaded with action and things blowing up. A real survival movie! I have actually purchased this for my movie collection. That's how phenomenal this movie was! I give this movie 5 stars hands down.

Olympus has Fallen is one of the newest great Patriotism movies to see and how the government can come together in a true crisis and above all one mans mission to save it and an old friend. This movie is packed with action and some heart wrenching moments that makes this a must see patriotic films.

First, let me say that I truly enjoyed this movie. It was fun, fast paced, and overall filled with some fun twists and turns. The characters are interesting, and decently developed (i.e. they won't win character development awards but they are believable in the movie's context). The film features a low-frequency heavy DTS-MA audio track, with solid explosions, 360º range of bullet fire, and generally clear dialogue (a bit low on the volume scale for my tastes but with "night mode" on my receiver, it brought this a bit more in line). The movie was fun and kept me interested, whether as I was ducking under my coffee table with the sound of a bullet flying by or my breathing slowing as the character sneaks. The video was good, presented in a well saturated 1080P. It was generally a dark movie though filled with some bright moments. For this reason it may be best to watch the movie in a dark room or at night so that the textures in the darkness aren't washed out by sunlight on the TV. Overall, while enjoyable this movie isn't something I would go back to. The movie was good, and features a Die Hard-esque plot (one man vs. incredible odds) which is predictable once you get a quarter of the way into the movie. The characters are fun and they had my interest, but I never found myself truly "routing" for any characters. I couldn't get behind them fully as I never felt I understood the villains motives. The plot just kind of drops the motive on you and keeps going without any build up or solid explanation. While the plot had it's weaknesses, it was fun, enjoyable and a fresh action romp that will keep those looking for a fun action movie without too much depth satisfied.
