    Again ignore the moan brigade

    Once again I nearly didn't watch this one after reading the reviews on here.

    I read that the photography was bad and the direction terrible. These experts really need to stop.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with the photography or direction.

    This is good action flick that won't win any awards but it's entertaining and that's whats its supposed to be.

    I really wish people would stop being negative for the sake of it.

    It's like trolling.

    A decent action film.

    This is being judged too harshly. Is it predictable? Yes. Generic? Yeah. But what do you expect? It's a nuts and bolts action film, entertaining enough and worth your time.

    Just do as Mike says

    I love me some Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman, but Nick Nolte is the best thing to happen to this film.

    Good popcorn action flick

    If you enjoyed the previous 2 movies, this movie follows the same simple formula but it's a very nice 3rd movie. Don't go in expecting a deep story, some actors just scream bad guy straight away and make everything predictable, go in just to enjoy the nice combat scenes and fast paced action. Overall it's a nice film to just enjoy without thinking too much about it.

    Angel Butler

    Leonidas cannot fail ... I mean fall ... right? Sorry I'm mixing up my movies here. But you can see the action star Butler going for it again - a third time. And if you thought the other movies were crazy and unrealistic ... well you were right and this one adds to that! What did you think I was going to say? In all seriousness - do not take this movie serious.

    Predictable story, predictable twists and turns ... and an even relatively mild Nick Nolte. But the story itself is quite out there ... really wild and really "explosive" (pun intended). A lot of action and a lot of nonsense ... and it can be quite some fun, if you allow it to

    • Trivia
      Like with Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and London Has Fallen (2016), Morgan Freeman has openly admitted in interviews that he did this movie mainly for the money. As he explained for the previous two: "Money. It's the third in a series it pays better than the first one. I get to play the president again, I'm in a successful series, I'm working with a guy I really admire and like. It's perfect." When asked whether he still felt "fire in his belly" with regard to acting, he said: "I enjoy it, I still enjoy it. I love making movies, but it's more like smouldering embers now."
    • Goofs
      An aide tells the Vice-President that the transfer of power back to a president has never happened in U.S. history. This is incorrect: On July 13, 1985 Ronald Reagan underwent colon cancer surgery while under anesthesia, so Vice-President George Bush discharged the powers and duties of the presidency during his incapacity, serving as acting president until later that day, when Reagan reclaimed his authority. President George W. Bush underwent a colonoscopy procedure on June 29, 2002, and again on July 21, 2007. Vice-President Dick Cheney temporarily became Acting President on both occasions, then power was transferred back to Bush. Additionally on November 19, 2021, President Biden had a colonoscopy and transferred acting president power to Vice-President Harris for 85 minutes.
