Will there be another sequel to london has fallen

London Has Fallen is the follow-up to terrorists-in-the-White-House thriller OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, featuring returning cast members Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman. And this is not due to American-hating, far from it (something that actually reeks of an excuse made up by defenders to try and justify why people hated a film they liked), just think that it was not a good film.

The villain is one-dimensional and without any depth whatsoever. Aaron Eckhart completely phones in his performance, and while the best performance comes from Morgan Freeman he has little to do other than act remote and mildly concerned in an under-utilised role. He's charismatic certainly, but not very interesting. Gerard Butler is in a very derivative role, basically a pale variation on other heroes he's played, and struggles bringing believability to clichГ© ridden and stilted dialogue peppered with vulgarity that is constant and often unnecessary. The film also sees bad performances from actors capable of giving good performances. The film also goes for the big and loud approach, but is so constant that there is little room to breathe and it becomes nauseating and repetitive in every way possible, and replaces logic, sense and excitement. Saying that the special effects are below-par is being far too kind, they are some of the cheapest and most amateurish special effects of any film in recent years and all of the production values here are more reminiscent of the very lowest-budget SyFy/Asylum disaster/action thriller film. The news reports were also incredibly laughable. And there is the gratuitous overuse of vulgar language. 'London Has Fallen' certainly can't be considered fun either, with quips that tried hard to be witty but ended up overused, misplaced and cheesy, with some of the gags being unintentional (such as calling the prime minister Clarkson). The story has been done to death and with much more personality, thrills and excitement (three things this film is completely devoid of), further disadvantaged by very tedious pacing, constant intelligence-insulting stupidity and action scenes lacking in any kind of urgency or fun, being routine at best. Its sequel 'London Has Fallen' has neither of those things and like a vastly inferior carbon copy of that film. It's predecessor 'Olympus Has Fallen' was not a flawless film by any stretch of the imagination, but it at least had a little sense of fun and while indebted to 'Die Hard' it did try to not be too derivative. And before anybody defending the film flames me, personally really made a real effort to take it for what it is, a mindless 'turn your brain off at the door' kind of film, but so many aspects of 'London Has Fallen' is so intelligence insulting and inept that that proved difficult for me and clearly many other reviewers. However, it is rare to find a film with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, regardless of how much you look for them. As somebody who really tries to find redeeming qualities even in bad films, it has been a while since this rating has been given out being a generous and honest but also less-easy-to-please than when first signing up seven years ago.
