Extremely poor taste to release this movie in the times we live in!


I saw the trailer for this trashy movie with poor CGI today. But it wasn't just the weak CGI and weak story that put me off, it's the fact that a movie studio is actually willing to release this crap and try to make money off the possibility of terrorism we face in cities like London.

I live in London and wouldn't pay a penny to go see a movie about London being attacked by terrorists and blown up. Such poor taste. We all know the threats that have come from ISIS, do we really need to see garbage movies like this being produced? Nope!

What are you, some kind of commie? They released movies like this during WWII against the Germans and Japanese all the time. Gee-zuz, more liberal bleeding heart p&$$*!s...

like all the world leaders being assassinated is a bad thing.

So you don't like it when a movie shows your homeland getting attacked by terrorists, but you sure wouldn't mind it when the homeland attacks other countries and kill or blow up homes of would be terrorists, you know, women, children, etc. Congratulations, you are an American.

My country was bombed just 3 weeks ago and I respect the people who want to sing Kumbaya and place candles but I for one want to escape reality sometimes and watch a John Mcclane clone slit those bastard's throat.

Sure the acting is bad and the script is even worse but frankly I needed Banning's "we are not a building" monologue. I would be thrilled if it was more Die Hard than Mission Impossible but I was entertained.

Yes we in the west caused this by creating a power vacuum in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libia, Syria, etc but we also enabled the arab spring in the process. Would you prefer we turn our backs to the people who we hooked up/abandoned with dictators during the cold war ?

Extremists want our values destroyed : if we do nothing we get 9/11 , if we do something we get Istanbul, London, New Delhi, Madrid, Mumbai, Brussels, Dubrovka, Paris and many more.

We are at war and this is nothing more than some old fashioned propaganda like the short movies "London can take it" (1940) and "The battle of London" (1941).

They have shown us time and time again we can't end this with peace talks so let the yanks get us some momentary reprieve from the conflict.

No we do not need to but we will because we can and we like such movies.
Some movies uses our inner demons to entertain us..its like movies where our real life childish wishes comes to reel life.
It hurts society a bit surely as racist people will have more ammunition and obnoxious people will have something to feed their obnoxious mind.
Its sort of guilt pleasure.
Although I will admit that 1st movie was better.
Pakistan is heavily targeted in this movie and as an Indian it makes me a bit sad because we share same blood but I am also a bit happy that Paki terrorism is getting recognized so heavily now. India has for long time taken so many hits that people need some revenge every time something happens now a days.
On Kashmir I feel same as when a boy takes something to remember the girl from now ended relationship but the girl actually wants to use it.

feel free not to watch it. go watch doc martin be a typical arrogant tool of a repressed homosexual englishman. i think that would be perfect for you.
