People are voting emotionally.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

"White House Down" promises slick action and lots of malicious property destruction. On that basis, it's an enjoyable summer diversion, but it's what Roland Emmerich manages to do with it that's really surprising.It's a Die Hard movie. Not even really a clone, but an actual, honest-to-god, best-we've-gotten-since-1995 Die Hard movie. It blows the last two sequels out of the water and fills in the whole checklist: Down-on-his-luck protagonist (check) Confined space (check) Loved one in danger (check) Black sidekick (check) Outside support (check) (the list goes on)Make no mistake, I don't go into these action movies with an actual checklist. But this was a wholly enjoyable curveball. Seriously, did any of us see this movie coming? It looked terrible!

Too many excessively long scenes. Too many plot holes. Too many implausible events. And so it goes on. This was clearly a serious ATTEMPT to produce a big budget, big deal, impressive, exciting movie, but, sadly, it is a fail. Channing Tatum was presented as Superman without the costume! The special effects are overdone, pulling down potential believability. Sorry, but I cannot stand Maggie Gyllenhaal, who comes across as a silly, officious official... and Jamie Foxx was a waste. The young kid who took the video on her phone was annoying, irritating ~ she helped tp pull the film down, too, sorry to say. She seemed to have two facial expressions only, ridiculous. I had zero sympathy for her. Careless casting. I enjoyed some of the action scenes, but they were woout and became boring! A VERY disappointing flick. 4/10. Anyone who gave an 8/10, 9/10. or 10/10 has an agenda, maybe a cast or crew member, friend or relative, or is plain silly. #

Up against 'Olympus Has Fallen' in a bizarre year that has two films with identical subjects, this film falls foul of the 5.0 threshold rule. Whilst being an enjoyable romp that get's it edging over the IMDb 5 score, it then enters the zone of 'could this film have been better ?'. Humour around 5, love interest around 4 (after some heavy editing), action around 7 but very unconnected. Channing Tatum's film (he produced it as well) deserves a strong 6 but was looking at a 7 if the points all connected.

White House Down(2013) Starring: Channnig Tatum,Jamie Fox,Maggie Gylenhal,Jason Clarke,Richard Jenkins,James Woods,Joey King,Nicholas Wright,Jimmi Simpson,and Michael Murphey Directed By:Roland Emmerich Olympus has fallen 2,oh no wait that's not what this is an entirely different titled movie with the same plot,wow that's kind of boring even for an action film. Channing Tatum plays Casey a want to be security agent for the white house to protect the president who of course doesn't get the job. He lies to his daughter,of course while there is a plot to take over the white house.The white house gets blown up by tons of CGI explosions,and taken over by someone from special defense. Casey while trying to rescue his daughter meets up with the president to team up and take back the white house. What an overloaded poorly shot special effect action mess. This was a movie that wasted half of my time for unknown reason probably to make it longer and more boring then it already was going to be in the later half of the film. I was feeling so bored that I just wanted to take my blanket and pillow and sleep on the couch. There was nothing new to the table for this movie that was suppose to be mindless fun to be fun. It just came off as lazy,stupid and boring. The acting is good for the most part,I believe it's the only logical reason to see this movie. The acting from our two main leads is what would ultimately drive anyone to seeing this garbage because they do play off each other quite well in this piece trash.The rest of the actors there just sleepwalking in their roles and look completely bored or stupid. With all the problems I have it may be unoriginal,boring,and stupid with poor camera shots and CGI but the acting of our two main makes it at least a little bit more commendable. I give White House Down a two out of five.
