Granted I was only in the theater to watch glorious Gerard Butler (who by the way is no aging well). Yes, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, I had seen the previous two movies. It was supposed to be a fun easy to watch action movie, where things are not what they seem to be.
Let's just say that the plot is quite predictable, but yet that is not the worst. The CGI was poor. The scenes and situations were extremely forced. After two movies with pretty much the same plot, you need to innovate. However, and to me that was just ridiculous, they showed not once, but twice how stupid they think the police is. Twice there were roadblocks trying to capture Mr Butler's character that the police decided to place right after the road diverted in two, therefore granting the protagonist a way out.
All in all, the plot was full of holes that made it boring and unbelievable, in the worst of meanings. And the extra footage at the end just proved that they didn't take the film seriously at all.

Walked out totally disappointed with cinematic experience. No wonder most people stay home to watch well crafted scripts and characters.
I know you should not expect much from a movie franchise such as this but this was beyond lame and the second ending during the credits was totally embarrassing.
Total crap!

What garbage. There was about 20min left and I just walked out. Felt like some terrible 2010 action movie with lame setpieces and odd and shaky camera work. The plot was incredibly unoriginal and uninspired. Yet again another film about the president. The film was predictable and I just didn't care for it all. I kept dozing off multiple times and I just called it quits and left. So boring, so lame, so uninspired

I dont know whose idea it was that action movie means, shake the camera and shoot with a hand held camera and that too only close up shots. grow up guys. You are covering your incompetency with these techniques. I never really connected to the movie with shaky hand held camera and with blurred closeup shots. I never go the same director or photographer movies. I want my money back and i am regretting for wasting such good actors like Gerard Butler. Incompetent director and photographer and not so great story plot.

You know what ? This movie is a generic boring action flick with zero surprises and no depth what so ever. I feel sorry for people that pay money for this trash, its just really tragic that directors and producers gets away with making action movies that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Just by looking at the poster you know exactly how this movie gonna end, I don't believe that anyone with half off a brain cant figure this movie out is that God damn predictable. The only thing that actually works are Gerard Butler and Nick Nolte acting but they cant save this film, not by a long shot. Angel Has Fallen has fallen down in the toilet and I just hope it stays there forever.

I can no longer take anything to do with the USA President seriously with the current imbocile and amoeba that is Trump who is resident in the Whitehouse. So with a plot to assassinate the stupidly named President Trumpball I couldn't have cared less anyway what happened to him.
This film really is totally dire. The acting is appalling and for the first half is filmed in the dark.
The scenes are repetitive and plain boring with a storyline a child could have written.
What a waste of two hours and 25 quid.
Shame on the makers of this rubbish.

The viewer is suppose to believe an old man is can live after being thrown into just above freezing water. Also, he was told to dive deep to get away from the drones. The drones had videos and they could have easily been sent into the water and exploded near the president. Also, how long can an 80 year old man breath underwater when it is extremely cold, 30 secs. Also, if both the president and Banning was in a coma, who saved them from the water as they were in the middle of the lake and all the others people were dead? And this was just the beginning of many unlikely and impossible events. I couldn't stop laughing during the movie.
Very bad, old story, very very bad direction, boring acting, there was bno surprise because we allready know that movie. They made it like at least 50 times before. I cant belive they release this trash on the movie theatre.

And the award for the most irritating voice goes toooo... Also, it's a bad action movie and the characters are pretentious. Really, nothing worth of watching or making a review...

Wars are bad
Russians distorted elections
Males left their family
Black dwarf female in charge of FBI
White hero fight against his headaches
Is this the new action movie standard ?

The next anti-Russian movie to come out of the American propaganda machine. It certainly wasn't worth my time.
An unnecessary third movie in the series. 'Olympus Has Fallen' and 'London Has Fallen' were good movies; this one took a majorly different direction which completely lost my support and any chance of me liking it.
I absolutely hated this movie; unless you're the type of imbecile who's into stupid setup (as in "shift the blame to the hero") action/thriller movies DON'T watch this.
No offense to Butler or Freeman (they do great), it's just that I hate this type of movie - and this one tops them all in how much I hate it.

When I look at all of these propaganda films into context with each other, I detect an attempt is being made to plants some seeds of incorrect thinking into the minds of the gullible. The messages of the films is crystal clear. The first message is that the west is weak and the United States is herself responsible for these unfortunate "fictional" events that befall her. The U.S. Government's bad international policies are to blame, and that we should be more concerned with "domestic threats" to our Democracy, instead of wasting time blaming Russia and their saintly Vladimir Putin.

I burst out laughing a few times. My God, who wrote this garbage? If it was a high-school drama class, ok, I get it, maybe it's supposed to be funny. My biggest laugh was when the transfer is not going as planned, dummy number one says to dummy number two, "This ain't good man!" The mulatto FBI lady is clearly trying too hard or is suffering the effects of a giant hemorrhoid. Three hillbillies with the drop on bad-guy-but-really-a-good-guy Mike was offensive to Trump voters. Why does Butler choose these hollow roles. One a good note, viewing this comedy didn't cost me a cent.

The first two films in this action thriller Trilogy were excellent films but this 3rd film is utter crap, just like the 3rd Taken film was.
Gerard Butler looks knackered & fed-up here & goes through the motions on auto drive & has zero fun with the role or even seems into it all. The spark is gone here.
This sequel really did feel like it was made just to finish off the Trilogy & to keep the franchise alive but it has nothing good going for it.
Angel Has Fallen definitely copied Taken 3, the main hero is now wanted for murder & is on the run & trying to prove his innocence (yes The Fugitive style) & just like Taken 3 it's terrible. Nick Nolte appears for abit as Butler's old estranged father & it all felt so falsed & unbelievable. The ONLY good bit in the film was when JADA PINKETT SMITH gets shot lol, i hated her little cocky Agent character just as much as i hate her little cocky manipulative & evil ways in real life.
" Angel" was a terrible film, a waste of everything & a main villain that you saw coming from the very first moment you meet him!!! Everything that makes a crappy action thriller is in this one.
A big budget waste of money, & yet we have really cheap low-budget straight-to-dvd action Thriller's coming out that are a million times better than this over blown crap.
Go watch: The Contractor (2007,Wesley Snipes) or Trigger Point (2021, Barry Pepper) or Wake of Death (2004, Van Damme) or Castle Falls (2021, Dolph Lundgren & Scott Adkins) for an example of low-budget but great action Thriller's.

I swear at the start i keep seeing how the camera man cant hold still the camera. And it made me sick, just awful, how could the director just let that happen??? Awful filming.
This made it so hard to watch because my head was spinning for all those motions! :(
The same rubbish rehashed without an ounce of originality. Just stop Hollywood. We've had enough. And all you imbeciles that tell everyone to ignore the negative reviews because your review is the only one that matters can take a run and jump. Butler ain't turning down the millions he got to make this excrement but what the hell is Nolte doing?
