I think people will naturally choose the movie they saw first.

While watching my Olympus has Fallen, I didn't know when I finished my popcorn cos of tension

White House Down has a better and more realistic plot than Olympus is down though and I like the idea

that the President was a black man in the movie.

I just like both movies o jare... wink

Olympus has fallen takes the prize for me...

1)Jamie fox, great actor. Didn't really give me the 'presidential appeal' i sought to see. I saw him not too long in Django! From a slave to the president?? cheesy cheesy
Even Mandela couldn't beat that kina turnaround! grin grin

2)The terrorists in Olympus were incredibly well organized. The entire takeover was inch perfect. In white house down, it looked way toooooo easy! Like who will watch some dude take a trolley to the center of the hall(in WHITE HOUSE!) without stopping him? No double checks.. Nothing!

3)Also, child heroes is kina old school for me. Took away the 'crisp maturity' you'd naturally expect in such a movie.

Seriously I have to see WHD before saying much cos OHF is not just an everyday white house movie and the cast was an allstar one. There was something super grand about the background music mehn. Like someone said, you need to watch the movie with very good speakers.

question to WHD fans: pls how is the soundtrack/background music in WHD?

lol @ so much wreckage, see how the white house and surroundings looked afta everything? And which kaind stubborn defense secretary abi minister was that who wasn't listening to butlers warning, I wanted to slap the guy, wasted 6 choppers and human lives, anyway na film jare.

Yes ooo, the wreckage was gadamn too much. Just too serious.
WHD no doubt has wreckage too but it had a human side to it. At least the waving of the flag by the little girl, when the speaker was made the president, then Jamie fox...'Leaave my jordan alone'...lolzzzz

white house down was ok. it was all a complete movie could ask for, suspense, comedy, action, betrayal and emotional but olympus has fallen was just action and it was predictable. they're both good movie anyway.
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by powerblaze(m): 2:21pm On Sep 06, 2013
colo$$u$:
For me its White House Down. I've seen both movies. White House Down, though a copycat of Olympus has fallen is way better. Gerard Butler's role can't be compared to Channing Tatum's role. We also saw the president in WHD (Jamie Foxx) in action also (with his sneakers lol), but the president in OHF was ineffective.
Both films allows the leading character(s) (Butler, Tatum) to have a road to redemption (proving their worth).
Beyond that it’s a tale of heroics, and since Channing Tatum has a daughter in his film, we need to give the edge to White House Down here. What stakes are bigger when you have to save both the President and your own daughter?


BRILLIANT!

Olympus has fallen was absolutely amazing especially with the stage by stage assault on the white house. Well plotted and executed. It is adrenalin packed and riveting from the get go. White house down try but e no reach.
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by MrAboki: 2:58pm On Sep 06, 2013
Skii: Mehn, I just had to chime in on this one

In my opinion, olympus has fallen only just slightly edges white house down.

One of my favourite parts in OHF was when it appeared like they were gonna shoot that lady secretary of state in the back when they ordered her to walk, before Gerald Butler popped out and took their attention.

In WHD, the girl waving the flag, though emotional (whipping up most of y'all sentimemts), highly unrealistic! Plus Obama would never say "get ur hands of my Jordans"!

But all the same, both movies were great though



[b]What was unrealistic about the girls flag waving scene?!


WHITE HOUSE DOWN was a cool flick, but my problems with the movie was;

1. The number of people it took to breach and Take-over the whitehouse was unrealistic.
2. The character of Jamie Foxx as the President didnt just sit well.
3. The driving scene on the White House lawn was too scattered. I would have thought that at that point, the Army would have breached the white house perimeter and taken the President. The U.S Army will not see an opportuinity where the President is out in the open and being shot at by Terrorists and just sit there and do nothing. #NEVER..


Now here are some things worthy of note;

WHDs Hero was a down on his luck Police officer|Bodyguard..
OHFs Hero was a Secret Service Agent that was taken off the Presidents detail cos of an accident.

WHD focused way too much attention on the kid. Making it feel rather unserious.
OHF focused more on the President. The Kid was taken out of the picture early which was fine.

In WHD, they made us believe that terrorists breached and took over the White House from within. Kill guards and disarm them.
In OHF.. The assault was massive. They started from outside and worked their way in.

In WHD, the hero was able to navigate a White House that he was unfamiliar with quite too easily..
In OHF, the hero knew the White House layout all to well from experience.

The demerits of WHD far outweighs that of OHF..[/b]

olympus has fallen fells like seeing the game of thrones again while white house down was another bloodless merlin with a priceless humour. olympus has fallen wins it for me.
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by dsaynt: 3:30pm On Sep 06, 2013
OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN wins hands down. WHD was a bit too comical to be serious..all that driving around in the white house grounds etc. Jamie Foxx didn't potray the president well. On the other hand Olympus has fallen was action packed! The attack on the white house and the motive was more realistic than WHD. The way they infiltrated the white house in WHD was too simplistic. The only grouse I have with Olympus Has Fallen is the fact that the S.Korean president was allowed into the bunker. Real life....that would never have happened...maybe only him but not his details...nevers!

Yeah!! But the director tried in making it look like the President intentionally broke protocol. Although if it were in real life, the Secret Service would have over ridden that command.

I wondered how the makers of White House Down must have felt when Olympus was released a few months before their movie... especially knowing that it was better cheesy

For me, it's Olympus Has Fallen. There were so many "unbelievable" scenes in both movies but I couldn't get over the image of Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum (or Presido and Commando) being chased around on the white house lawn with the US Military watching them like home video without attempting a serious intervention. Come on! That was the final straw for me.

Olympus has fallen looks more real and have less to do with luck like WHD. With that said these two films are nominee for movie of the year award for me. Gerald Butler did pull the cast of in your face role best!
