'White House Down' has more feats to its name than just being vastly better than 'Olympus Has Fallen,' it is Roland Emmerich's most underrated film too.

2013 delivered two different action movies centered on recognizable movie stars saving the President of the United States during an attack on the White House. One of these was Olympus Has Fallen, the first of these two films to hit theaters and the one that turned into a sizable box office hit. Olympus proved lucrative enough to spawn two further sequels.

Whatever your response, you can never say that White House Down is a tonal slog to sit through.

Speaking of the advantages of dealing with human beings, White House Down proves an enjoyable deviation from Emmerich’s standards in how it defines antagonism. Usually, a feature from this auteur creates the concept of looming threats through CG tidal waves coming over mountains or New York City getting covered in snow. These elements can create pretty-looking imagery, but they don’t deliver a Hans Gruber or Loki, a distinctly human villain you can love to hate.

It's not even close. Olympus Has Fallen is far superior.

Absolutely not - delete this immediately

Thought WilliamBibbiani wrote this for a sec

Whilst 'WHD' is an enjoyable action romp 'OHF' is the better of the two films, my personal view is that Jamie Foxx whilst a great actor just couldn't cut it as the President which just took the edge away from the film

White House down is shit

✋🏻gonna need you to stop.

Olympus has fallen

They are both good but “Olympus Has Fallen” is the far superior film.
