Olympus Has Fallen - Review

Saw a screening of Olympus Has Fallen tonight.  Thanks to my weak-ass camera phone, my picture of our surprise guest turned out blurry.... Anyways, GERARD BUTLER was there to introduce the film, and he sat 2 rows behind me to watch it through as well!

NOTE: If you have screening tickets and you're waiting on line and someone comes out to say there are no spots available, there's a chance you won't get in...STAY IN LINE!  Wait it out, because you never know what may happen.  In this case, I was about #20 in line when the 1st warning announcement was made, and I moved up to #3 after they let more people in and made the 2nd warning announcement.  Then the line had become so short due to people leaving that they just let everyone else in.  HA!  It was cold as hell waiting in line but in the end, it was all worth it.  Lesson learned, people... it ain't over til the fat lady sings.  To some of the beautiful ladies behind me, sorry, but you could've seen Gerard Butler... =/

The movie was enjoyable, very action-packed, somewhat predictable, generic plot, but still fun.  It touches on the whole United States-North Korea conflict going on and had an Air Force One feel to it.  I'm going to start writing fuller reviews soon, but I'll leave this one short for now.  There are several funny moments throughout, but the funniest for me was the "hashtag" moment.  That's all I will spoil for now, but I would recommend this if you're looking to sit back, relax and enjoy an action thriller that has the feel of a summer blockbuster flick.
6/10



UPDATE: I forgot, before the screening they were giving out Olympus Has Fallen mini-posters, and afterwards, they gave out this Olympus Has Fallen pin.
