Olympus Has Fallen

[tyven]

Yo it's finally on torrents. Best movie ever

[Arkanna]

Best ever? Nah, but pretty damn good son

[Blarg]

I'm watching it right now. A lot of the stuff has a made for TV movie feel to it with cheesiness and poor CGI graphics. So far it's not a quality movie but it's entertaining enough.

[Vandole]

rotten tomatoes has this listed as white house down now lol.

guess the international translation really fucked up the original title.

[Jefe]

That's the Jamie Fox one <_<

[Vandole]

Is there any difference in the long run? It's the same fucking thing.

[Blarg]

Yes, aside from all the differences it's the same thing.

[Souj]

No, aside from all the similar stuff it's a different thing.

[kuronosan]

Not really, aside from all the different similarities it's a fucking stuff thing.

[Takiwaki]

Best Die Hard movie I have seen in a while.

[Elrina]

I guess it was an okay action movie, but overall I was just disappointed tbh.

Spoiler: show

The President should have lot both of those two die, doesn't matter if he's willing to sacrifice himself or not. Every one of those three codes should have been protected with their lives, and him flinching at threats to their lives and telling them to talk was pathetic.

It's national security, it's not like they're just protecting bank vault codes or something. He should have watched them die, and if they broke first, then deride them for it. Shit, I was half expecting the President to join the bad guys in some strange twist after they got the other two codes.

And Morgan Freeman, as the Acting President, was basically just like "Yo, hey, every other terrorist in the world, you know that policy we have of not negotiating with terrorists? We were just kidding lol." I would have expected him to do his best to recover/save the President if possible, of course, but let him die if necessary before such a massive and public capitulation to terrorist demands.

I realize it's an action movie and lol @ it's plot and all, but ffs. Those things just kinda kill it for me, idk.

Feel similar. Bit too cheesy for me overall, and the action honestly wasn't good/cool enough to make up for it through most of the movie. Not even like my standards are all that high.

But, yeah:

Spoiler: show

The President making people give out their codes thing bugged me too. I mean, seriously, what's the livelihood of 2-3 people vs the 30-50million they projected to die from activating the self-destruct sequences?

I'm willing to forgive and stretch on plot points, particularly for action movies, but the President openly ordering people to release codes that could kill millions so 2 people don't get beat-up is just too much lol.

[TummieGaruda]

Hopefully his contract wasn’t for net points/profit of the backend because he won’t be getting a dime.

[Krandor]

Likely was, that's how most contracts are. The ScarJo situation is because her contract supposedly has a clause about theatre release.

Hollywood Accounting been a thing for a long time and will continue to be.

Sandra Bullock did it the best. She got $20 up front and 15% gross points and walked away with $70 Million yet David Prowse never saw a dime from being the actor under the suit of Darth Vader due to net points…Hollywood Accounting is such bs.
