London Has Fallen Ratings & Reviews

Manuel FrangisSeptember 17, 2025
I just watched London Has Fallen and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie is pure adrenaline from start to finish. As the second film in the series, it takes everything that worked in Olympus Has Fallen and expands it on a larger scale. Instead of being contained to the White House, the story unfolds across one of the biggest cities in the world, creating nonstop action and tension. What makes it so gripping is the way it combines political intrigue with brutal combat sequences while still keeping the emotional heart of the series intact. It is the kind of movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Gerard Butler once again delivers an incredible performance as Secret Service agent Mike Banning. His toughness and determination make him the kind of hero you can believe in, even when the odds are impossible. He is fierce, quick thinking, and relentless, yet he also shows moments of humanity that remind you he is more than just an action machine. Morgan Freeman brings his usual gravitas as Vice President Trumbull, and his presence gives the story a sense of weight and authority. Their chemistry and mutual trust add depth to the chaos unfolding around them. The setup of the film is both clever and terrifying. World leaders gather in London for the funeral of the British Prime Minister, and it becomes the perfect opportunity for a massive terrorist attack. The way the city is torn apart in coordinated strikes feels frighteningly real, and the visuals of London landmarks under siege are both shocking and memorable. This premise raises the stakes higher than ever, making every moment feel urgent. The action sequences are relentless and incredibly well done. From car chases through the streets of London to intense shootouts and brutal hand to hand combat, the film never slows down. Each set piece feels unique and carefully crafted, keeping the audience engaged throughout. What I love is how raw and gritty the action feels. The stunts are practical, the explosions are massive, and the camera work makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the chaos. One of the film’s strengths is how it shows Banning’s resourcefulness. He is constantly outnumbered and outgunned, yet he finds ways to push through with sheer determination. His clever tactics and unyielding spirit make him a hero you cannot help but root for. The movie also highlights his loyalty, not just to the President but to his country and his family. That personal drive gives the action an emotional core. The villains are ruthless, and their plan is terrifying in its precision. They are not cartoonish but rather grounded enough to feel believable, which makes their threat more chilling. The fact that the attacks are so well coordinated creates a constant sense of dread that lingers throughout the movie. The pacing is excellent. There is no wasted time, and every scene builds tension or delivers action. The cinematography captures both the beauty of London and the devastation caused by the attacks. The soundtrack adds intensity, perfectly matching the pulse pounding energy of the story. What I appreciate most is that, despite all the explosions and chaos, the movie still remembers its themes of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice. Mike Banning is not just fighting to protect the President, he is fighting for what is right. That moral clarity is what makes the film more than just an action spectacle. It leaves you inspired as well as entertained. By the time the credits rolled, I felt completely satisfied. London Has Fallen is bigger, louder, and more intense than its predecessor, yet it never loses its heart. It proves that this series can deliver high stakes action while still keeping the characters grounded and relatable. That is why I give it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.
