White House Down

It's hard not to compare "White House down" and "Olympus has fallen" so let me get it out of the way first. OHF is much too serious while WHD is great fun, approaching at times cartoon fun, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Waste of time. Not even close to the Gerald Butler save the President movies.

Pure cliché . Makers of this movie must be so low level .

White House Down is an appallingly sentimental Die Hard knock-off that would have John McClane scoffing at its weak action sequences and undying love for its commander-in-chief. Evidently, the US public was not feeling the same love during the American summer.

Jacob: White House Down is another Roland Emmerich movie meaning that disaster and action overwhelm the logic and intelligence of the movie. While this is in no way as bad as 2012 it is still not a terrific movie.

From the man who brought us Independence Day, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow and Godzilla, this guns-and-bombs flick is exactly what you expect it to be. Big, loud, brash and completely ludicrous, WHD proudly wears its silliness like a badge of honour and as a result is unashamedly fun.

John Cale wants to be in the Secret Service. When he goes for his interview, he brings his daughter along.

"My father is a very special man."White House Down might suffer from a terrible plot and loud action scenes we've seen a million times before, but the leads have such great chemistry together that this movie was actually entertaining.

If you went into this movie expecting it to be serious... and where utterly disappointed, you deserved it.
