[b]As far as I'm concerned o;

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN:: The part I love the most about this movie was that the way the took the white house was more realisitic than the way they took the White House in 'WHite House Down'. In White House Down, it took less than 15 men to take down the entire White House before extra back-up arrived.. But in Olympus Has Fallen, They stormed the White House with like over 100 men.. They First started with the Air Attack, then ground attacks, they used RPGS, Javelins (SAMs), e.t.c... worked their way into the White House. They had higher calibre weapons in Olympus has fallen. The plan of attack on the WHite house in Olympus has Fallen was more eleborate than it was in White House Down.. They didnt even clearly show how a bomb was successfully smuggled into the White House in White House Down.. Even Jamie Fox didnt really carry the Character of the President of the United States that well.


Killer Scene from WHITE HOUSE DOWN:: When the small Girl Waved the Flag to stop the Air Strike on the White House... I actually teared up a bit there.. Best scene of the Move.. Also the shooting down of Airforce One.

Killer Scene from OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN:: When he interogated the two perps he captured..

White House down was cool, but Olympus Killed it! [/b]

Nosyke:

God Bless you, that scene got me laughing so hard.

I almost cried when the little girl waved off the air strike with the flag.

*Sir, operation free castle is ready in 2 minutes, we need a final go/no go!!!!

I think I prefer WHD cos of the comic effect by Jamie Fox.
OHF has so much wreckage gosh

*sir in 2 minutes, Sir sir....sir Sir abort abort abort plan I can't do this*

I got so emotional

I prefer OHF. The attack was bada$$. Just kill any livingthing around the White House.
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by moppie123(m): 10:44am On Sep 06, 2013
for me it's olympus has fallen.... Better graphics, better action and the way the bad guys took the white house down looked cooler too with powerful weapons.... White house down on the other hand added some humor and it was more emotional. But the way they took down the white house didn't really go down well with me considering how secure the white house is. I'll say White house down is more of an action comedy while Olympus has fallen is an action movie
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by Kk4(m): 10:44am On Sep 06, 2013
White house down has more action, suspense, humor and tougher villains. OHF is aight though.

I have watched the two

to me OHF is more like real than WHD (comedy)
strategies is on point,from pentagon to white house for rescue will take 15 minutes and Bad Guys took it down within 13 minutes.

osahonmk: hmmmmmmm..... the two movies are quite cool to me.... Olympus has fallen has more action and quite drilling (I remeber when the Secret Service Official said "OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN" cheesy cheesy cheesy... ..... BUT White house is more emotional (WHEN THE GURL WAS WAVING THE FLAG OF THE PRESIDENT) I felt like crying tho wink wink wink and its full of suspense......
But i will pick Olympus has fallen cuz of the action there....
you just said my mind.they are both great movies but i go 4 olympus has fallen

mercylad: I'll pick WHD over OHD a million times............OHD is just too serious for my likeness

Taking over the most protected residence in the world is serious business, my friend. OHF all the way!!!!!!
Despite all that has been credited to OHF, I want to point out that the terrorists in that movie weren't the usual suspects(Arabs/Muslims/Islamists); they used North Koreans instead. To me, that was FRESH!! Something new for a change!!
Re: Olympus Has Fallen Vs White House Down: Which Is Better? by omar22(m): 11:14am On Sep 06, 2013
Actually WHD had a little more meat to the storyline but the execution was so poor compared to Olympus Has Fallen.

@Jamie Foxx was the worst American Leader I have seen on the box

@Maggie Gyllenhaal as a spoke person, she lacked that sharpness, Angela Bassett had in Olympus

@Channing Tatum may be or may be not, good actor but wrong role only Gerrard Butler or Bruce Willis could pull off the act in Olympus.


the Whole action, the air strike, bombing the gates and fence, sending out a drone etc.

I bet Nollywood is watching for they released their own version

I have watched both movies on the same day but I couldn't keep my eyes off Olympus has fallen. I have to watch it again and again. Olympus has fallen beat WHD down. The graphics and sophiscated weapons used in olympus has fallen is second to none. Anytime, anyday I ll go for olympus has fallen

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
