Olympus Has Fallen Flat

[stag3]

i liked it for what it was, die hard in the white house, over the top nonstop action and tons of death. what were you expecting? an oscar worthy flick? lol

I thought Die Hard was cool the first time I watched it. Can't stand it now.

I thought it was decent. I feel bad for White House down.

 

[vi edit]

Wonder if "White House Down" will be any better. They are basically the same movie, right?

This. Once you've accepted the premise that one man can and will take out a zillion bad guys, all of whom are better armed and know more martial arts than Bruce Lee, then accepting all the rest is a piece of cake. Gratuitous violence for the win every time.

there's another movie coming out where the white house is under attack.

You didn't understand it was just an action flick before going?

I thought this was about that movie with Jamie Foxx coming out. That looks awesome.

thats the one i was talking about. doesn't even have a cool name, it's just like "white house under attack" or something boring like that.

white house down = white house dumb

That's about the way it looked in the trailers.

I'll probably rent it once it hits Redbox...but I wouldn't pay to see it in a theater.

Same here, you can't beat $1.50 for BluRay. Of course the hardest part is waiting.

Wife wanted "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" on PPV last night. I told her we couldn't see it till it came out on Netflix or Amazon Prime. Not paying (extra) to see that.
