In reinventing an old tale in a smart and engaging way, it's a thoroughly entertaining and often riveting way to spend two hours.

With guns blazing and spouting one-liners, Gerard Butler revels in being the tough guy and leads a decent cast, with all-American Aaron Eckhart a worthy addition to the hallowed list of movie presidents.

As bystanders get mown down, the Washington monument topples and the Stars and Stripes is shredded, the onslaught delivers a real taboo-busting frisson... the sequence would pack an even bigger punch if the CGI special effects weren't quite so cheesy.

Whether Hollywood is right to keep prodding North Korea simply because it's not a valuable trading partner, only time will tell.

As this massive blockbuster thriller progresses, it's impossible not to become amused by how ridiculous its script becomes.

Reactionary fantasy, then - but what else are action films for?

Some will find it ridiculously entertaining. I found it entertainingly ridiculous. Either way, it's a guilty pleasure.

Olympus Has Fallen may be pure Hollywood hokum but it remains tense, exciting and credible enough right through to the suspenseful climax, even if the dialogue is laughable at times.

Butler hardly knocks it out of the park, but he steals the film. And what a film...

It rattles along with no little vim, and there is one excellent joke about the difficulty of finding a computer's hash key when time is tight.

The thrills and the effects are cheap, but this is in hard-driving, good-humoured command of its own silliness.

Fuqua lights the fuse on the summer blockbuster season with an almighty, ground-shaking bang.

Once the film stops taking itself too seriously and gives in to over-the-top entertainment, it becomes a vastly superior movie - albeit one with some head-shakingly stupid moments.

The movie's best moments belong to Gerard Butler though, thriving in a role that's perfect for his capabilities as he establishes a hero we can't help but root for.

I'd rather have Butler getting shot at than treating women like silly hens in Playing For Keeps.

Olympus Has Fallen is just riotously entertaining, and although nothing particularly new or original, it manages to keep you captivated and takes the viewer on one hell of a ride.

An orgy of bloody explosions that'd be tough to endure if it weren't so inadvertently self-parodic.

After the dull last Die Hard, this all-American slice of hokum is the gung-ho blast action fans have been craving.
