Well...it's sitting at a 1% advantage over Olympus Has Fallen right now from both users and critics. I tried to review a few non spoiler reviews from writers who compared the 2. Judging from them WHD was a slightly better 'summer flick' than OhF.

Olympus was one of the surprise movies of the spring to me. Was better than expected and had a decent premise. The trailer for White House Down looked awful and if I go see it, it would be with even less expectations than OhF.

I might go check this out in a lil bit since I got the day off.

It has Channing Tatum in it... You figure it out LOL. I don't see how this guy keeps getting roles. Bad actor. The trailers look shyt also. I can't visualize Jamie Foxx being the President

Don't base if you are going to see a movie off reviews. I am still annoyed that I fell for The Avatar reviews

I base my expectations off of reviews and the trailer. If I wanna see a movie I go see it. I don't really trip on blowing money at the movies.

Olympus was good. But the CGI was fukking terrible and completely distracted from the plot. White House Down looks like it has a bigger budget, so I'm optimistic.

Honestly...both movies are pretty even. While olympus had the more believable takeover and antagonist, White House Down had wayyyy better acting, visuals and score. In the end i would give WHD a 1/2 point better score than OhF. I didnt walk out dissapointed cause i was expecting a shyyty movie. Wish someone woulda baught both scrips and integrate them. The only person worthy of being in WHD from OhF is morgan freeman. Its a decent movie though for what it is. If you arent broke and like movies, id say go see it. If u are broke...watch it on redbox

Better or worse than OHF?

Olympus was better probably because It was rated r. White House down was likd a kiddie knock off cheap imitation of die hard. The average movie goer will probably like it but I see every movie and consider myself a movie buff. This was just a typical average action moche
