Olympus Has Fallen
Not sure if this looks really cool or really insane (in a bad way...). Lots of good people involved.

No thanks. Looks low budget. CGI was better in T2 twenty years ago.
|
Definitely one I'll watch when it comes out on BluRay, but not theater worthy. If it turns out to be really really good, then maybe theater, but from the looks of the trailer I don't think so. Pretty solid cast though as pointed out.

Does anyone actually believe that when they move the President to the secure bunker, that they would take all of the White House guests with them? The President goes to the bunker, his guests go somewhere else, especially if they are foreign nationals.

BUT.....we have ONE guy in the inside......

I have a soft spot for Gerard Butler due to Law Abiding Citizen, which was a terrible movie, but oh so enjoyable.
I'll admit I've considered watching this piece of shit. |
Law Abiding Citizen could have been one of the best action movies of last decade if it didnt completely shit itself the last ten minutes
|
I would love to have this exchange with Mike Alden:

Looks stupid.
The White House gets hit and the line "We are at Defcon 4" is underplayed during the preview. Defcon 4 is one step away from "No known issues". We go to Defcon 4 when a 58 year old Lebanese woman creates an 8 track tape from her cave threatening America's shoe eyelet market. Obviously whomever wrote and edited the film has no knowledge of military and executive standards and practices. |

What lawyer has the power to get a prisoner outside the prison only to punch him in the gut and send him back in? Who can dig into 20 or 30 isolation cells (evidently conveniently all unoccupied) and never get caught? Do engineers really design prisons and sewer systems this badly? Truly one of the single worst films I ever paid to rent, period. |

The only thing ive ever really liked Butler in was 300. He was great in that. The rest of his resume is pretty meh.

Ok so I went and saw this.
It pretty much kicked ass. Nonstop action, no bullshit. Lots of f bombs. Kind of diehard-ish. |
hopefully they make 7 of them like they did with Die Hard.
seriously though, I do want to see this. |

cool; I think the wife even mentioned going and seeing it. once we found out that the cinema suites etc were the same price as the regular seats, we're planning on going to the movies more often.

I'll wait for the reboot this summer with Channing Tatum.

Bob Dole hasn't been to a theater in years, but will probably rent this and look for stuff he recognizes. This is another one shot primarily in Shreveport. (Bob Dole keeps meaning to sign up on one of those "Extras" sites, but never manages to get around to doing it.)

Looks like the "White House Down" people don't want to be upstaged. Here is the teaser posters and a trailer is supposed to be released this week.

Is Morgan Freeman in that?

Yeah when I saw the trailer for this on tv I wanted to see it. I'll wait for video, but it looks like good entertainment. Even if it has some stupid shit in there that doesn't make sense or isn't realistic, I'm not gonna pick it apart too much.
|
It was a good action movie. There were plot holes. But good action none the less.
|
Rented this last night. It sucked out loud.
Messages this movie preaches: The president's life is more important than any national security concern. The US government is totally not corrupt and anyone who says it is must be a terrorist. |

The movie is about stabbin dudes in the head. |
it was okay, but it did bug me when Pres was willing to give up launch codes in exchange for 1 life. Nonsense.

This is not a movie to watch if you're striving towards realism, and it doesn't have a single new idea in it, but it was a good (not great) action flick. Its high point was the extended initial siege scene. White House Down was no more realistic, but more fun, so it's the better pick.
Oh, and if there has ever been a movie that induces Guilt By Casting more, I don't know what it is. Cases in point:
Spoiler!

That said, I can understand the opposite viewpoint here, so I'm not going to argue this, pretty much at all. |

Just watched this on blue-ray. OK for a popcorn flick, lots of head shots and stabbings... felt like I was watching a Call of Doody movie. The CGI was laughable, at best.
|
The special effects were not special

This looked like a B movie with a little more budget.
|
just saw it ... should of just called it 'Die Hard reboot' or better yet 'Die Hard ripoff'
I fully expect Reginald VelJohnson to step out on screen and eat a twinkie at some point. |
Decent flick. Watched it on Netflix last night. Better than I was thinking it would be. Well done for a relatively low budget affair.
I'll have to check out White House Down to compare. |

Horrible movie.
Would have been better if they made it more believable. What I saw was a damn clown show starring Gerard Butler. |
Was it as lame as the White House being seized in 24?
|
The White House invasion scene was cool. I'm not saying it was realistic or feasible but it was entertaining.
|
Goddammit. Somehow I find myself watching this turd.
People should really stop announcing shitty stuff in Netflix. :cuss: |

Why does Gerard Butler always talk like his mouth is full of marbles?

I'll damn sure never own this on bluray. :D |
Yeah, that was dumber than a Wickedson/Prison Bitch thread. But far more entertaining. :D

:D I'm sure it's dated now, more than a decade later, but it was a really great series for the time. Seasons 3-5 were pretty badass. It's coming back for 12 episodes in 2014. |
