what is the truth of the movie

In fact, before "London Has Fallen", there was a film called "The Fall of Olympus", which is actually "The Fall of the White House". In order to write a review, I also made up for this film.

This film gives the impression that at first glance it seems that there are no major problems and major holes. The emotional flow of the whole film also seems quite comfortable, and there is no piss from the beginning to the end, but for some reason it is difficult to make people feel very good.

The specific reason is to start with the authenticity of the film itself. In fact, many well-known film theorists have opinions on the authenticity of a movie. Here I take one that I agree with, which is the authenticity of a movie, which should actually be called credibility. Credibility is about the atmosphere and the audience. The first is the atmosphere. In a movie, if the atmosphere is a comedy or an absurd drama, then there is no need to excessively demand the logic of the characters’ behavior, and the most important thing is to need some local real feelings and feelings. The second is the audience, a movie, as long as it can convince the main audience, then the authenticity will be achieved. For example, the main audience of the small age is middle school students, and their imagination of the adult world is like this, so as non-main audiences, when we question the logic of this film, we actually go beyond this point, because we are not the main audience. .

Back to "London Has Fallen", let's first compare the atmosphere and the audience. The atmosphere should be drama and action films, and the main audience should be the adult male audience. Well, will adult male audiences agree with this script logic? The terrorists have so many accomplices that it seems like a large-scale operation. But with the actions of so many people, no one leaked the news. To know that covert operations are generally the most afraid of people. The scope of the operation is huge, covering the entire city, there is never a drill, and it also chooses to assassinate multinational presidents from multiple different locations, and it is successful. This can only be said to be a miracle in the history of action planning. Let me give you an example, what if something goes wrong with the secret communication? What if someone gets caught in the middle of the action? What if the other party's information learned is wrong? Such a high-profile action plan must be kept secret. It seems that any problem in any link will make the action fail... To be honest, it is more difficult than the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. But the terrorist organization in the film has such good ability and luck, everything is according to their plan. In the back, the president of the United States is as strong as an agent, and the protagonist of the agent is full of indomitable and heroic aura. In the end, the evil lost to justice, and the terrorists were finally brought to justice.

I complained a little, the overall credibility of the film is not good, but the credibility of the parts is ok, so the whole film will have a feeling like this: the whole movie is actually okay, but... I don't know how to respond. I don't think it's that good.
In fact, for the audience, if the protagonist's halo is too strong and the enemy is too mentally handicapped, it is basically a problem of credibility. After watching the movie, I even feel that the overall feeling is not bad, but I feel that something is missing.
In other parts, the shooting is not bad, and the atmosphere is well rendered. CG actually has a 5-hair feeling, this is an imported film... In addition, the anti-terrorism theme film with the US President as the second protagonist... I understand it as soon as I listen to it

CG 5.5
The theme with a didactic meaning and a strong sense of the main melody 6

General comment: 6.2
You can watch it or not.
There is a very interesting starting point for kidnapping the president.
If there is a more rigorous screenwriter, there is a real chance to become a good film
