Red planet wasnt supposed to be realistic. Neither was Olympus has fallen. Red planet was totally fictional and olympus has fallen was just supposed to be a movie with big explosions and VIPs kicking arse. They were entertainment movies, action (or in red planet's case, dramatic) flicks with lots of boom boom. Perhaps you set your expectations too high for a more realistic scenario about the president being assaulted, of course it wasn't.

Im surprised nobody has mentioned U-571. I don't think it was bad, but steve and many members of this forum who are VERY passionate about their subs hate it because it had so many errors. Many find it insulting that it was with americans instead of the brits, and that two subs fought each other underwater, but as a movie i didn't think it was bad. It entertained me, once i looked past all the fallacies. It certainly wasnt a memorable flick past the fact that it was one of the few u-boat flicks. At least it wasn't like battleship.

Battleship was just god awful.

Carrie Moss was clearly the best actor in that movie.

I can agree with that.

Val Kilmer has that look on his face that makes me want to break it.

Something about his smile is just annoying.

The Ghost and The Darkness was a great movie though...

Code name: Wild Geese

The movie opens with 15 minute unrealistic assault on some compound then the rest of the movie is the same 15 minutes as seen from each and every cast members viewpoint.

"The Ten Commandments"...

Always hated Heston's 'acting'; he actually make Shatner seem a decent actor...

Lets be honest here, movies like Olympus has Fallen, Rambo, Commando, and what not aren't meant to be taken seriously script wise.

I call it "non-sexual porn". AKA, the plot is just meant to string the action along, the movie is meant to focus on the actor's bodies (or in recent years, with less and less muscle men in acting, the special effects), and usually ends in big men exploding.

Don't take these things too seriously, or bring your brain. Just watch and enjoy.

I certainly wouldn't call this the worst, since I like the movie. However, regarding the "Unrealistic" part, the first movie that came to my mind is "The Bridge On The River Kwai". It is so far off from the real story, it's almost absurd.

I'm no big fan of Val Kilmer but I thought he was pretty good in the movie Red Planet.
