So, I just got back from seeing the film Olympus Has Fallen at a dollar theater. Thank Judas it was at the dollar theater. While I wouldn't say it's the worst film I've ever seen (That honor goes to Date Movie and Gone Fishin', with Dude, Where's My Car? coming in third), it was definitely the worst I've seen in quite some time. Sadly, it was so bad, I found it to be quite funny - and no, it wasn't intended to be a comedy.
It's an action film starring Gerard Butler front and center. The White House and President Aaron Eckhart are taken over by North Korean terrorists, and while these terrorists have killed about any and everyone in sight, are loaded up the wazoo, and appear to have a better plan than Keyser Soze, Gerard Butler is a one-man wrecking crew and saves the world! The film should have been titled Fallen? Gerard Butler Never Falls!
The character development was minimal. The dialogue was more cliched than a book about cliches, entitled, Clicheology 101: Every Cliche Ever Uttered. The word "chemistry" appeared to be of a foreign language the characters didn't understand. Even the one-liners seemed to be taken from a new line of Taffy wrappers called Laffy Taffy Chuck Norris Style. President Eckhart looked weaker than a two-day old baby with the name Geraldo Wimpschitz. Yes, it was that bad, so bad that I laughed for a good portion of the film, with a what-the-f**k expression on my face.
For Gerard Butler's next project, I'm guessing he's a one-man army who ends the Holocaust not long after it starts by killing Hitler and all the Nazis by himself, as he's able to transform into a helicopter, a tank, and back to his self, which is apparently more menacing than a helicopter, a tank, or anything else known to man!
