Review of White House Down (2013) by Sunera S — 30 May 2014
Wasn't a bad movie. Average good. I kept some high hopes because I enjoyed Olympus Has fallen a lot and thought this one will nearly as great as that. So I did watch it comparing both movies.
Channing Tatum wasn't as good as Gerard Butler in " Olympus Has Fallen ". Butler was pretty much bad-ass. Even though, I really liked the performance and humor by Jamie Fox. And VFX was good enough for a movie like that. The way that terrorists attack/ their plan in Olympus Has Fallen was way ahead than this. There were some annoying plot holes in the movie. I'm avoiding posting them here due to spoilers. I really loved the ending with the plot twist. The 2nd half of the movie was great even the 1st half was kinda boring.
As a final word, it's a movie worthy to watch, but not as good as Olympus Has Fallen. I really prefer, if you already didn't watch neither " White House Down " or " Olympus Has Fallen ", watch White House Down 1st. Otherwise you might start to compare the both movies as I did. So lower your expectations, sit back, relax and enjoy it.
6.5/10.
