Garbage

AS A NATIVE WASHINGTONIAN AND AN AMERICAN I WOULD LIKE TO PERSONALLY SMACK THE IDIOT WHO GREEN LIGHTED THIS GARBAGE OF MY CITY, ITS MONUMENTS AND THE COUNTRY BEING RIPPED TO SHREDS BY SOME WACK KOREAN PSUEDO-BAD GUYS IN THIS PISS-POOR DRAMATIZATION. ALL THE WHILE BEING SUBJECTED TO CLASSIC ONE-LINERS, COPIED ACTION SHOTS AND B&C-LISTERS! AT LEAST THE DIE HARD FRANCHISE TOOK THEIR SHOW TO RUSSIA! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!! LOOK THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT IS NOT SOME PROP FOR SOME HOLLYWOOD EXEC HUNGOVER BRAIN STORM OF WHAT WOULD MAKE GOOD FILM AND FILL THEATER SEATS! LET ALONE BLOWING UP OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND HAVING THE FIRST LADY DIE TRAGICALLY. SOMEONE IN HOLLYWOOD NEEDS REHAB AND AN ASS KICKING FOR PORTRAYING MY BEAUTIFUL CITY AND THE CAPITAL OF THIS COUNTRY AS FODDER FOR IDIOTS BECAUSE SCREENWRITERS LOST THEIR CREATIVITY IN A BOTTLE OF CIROC!

Golly......Forgive me for thinking that the whole premise of watching a film is to momentarily escape from the every day monotony of "real life".....The movie was fantastic.....The "Effects" were just that....effects.....and they worked well....Though not a particular fan of Gerrard Butler, I found his characterization plausible and realistic....I almost did not view this film due to the juvenile and childish "critiques" from several self-proclaimed "reviewers"......suffice to say, ignorant "retard" I may be.....I enjoyed the hell out of the movie!!!!!! (oh, and by the way there was nothing wrong with BATTLESHIP either....!!!)

If anyone has the right to be bitching, it would be New York. Their city has been blown up a billion times by Hollywood..whether it's terrorists, aliens, king kong, ghosts or the second coming of the ice age. On top of that, they're the prime target for terrorism, so excuse me if I don't shed a tear for the city where politicians meet and compete to see who is the most full of shit. Personally, I could give a fuck less if a symbol or a monument gets destroyed. It's man made, just like this government. Seeing the statue of liberty get her head chopped off, or the Lincoln monument get castrated isn't going to send me out of the theatre crying. And the first lady is no better than the maid that cleans the hourly motel...either one of them can die. Neither life carries more or less weight simply because of a man made title. The reason movies like this work is because so many people buy into psuedo patriotism and symbolism. It gets your emotions boiling. The only reason I would worry about the white house being attacked would be that it would mean that our country is under attack. Other than that, if it were to collapse tomorrow, I'd react the same way as if my neighbor's house was destroyed by a tornado... I would have compassion, I'd want to help if I could and I would hope that no one died. I wouldn't wanna run out and join the marines so we could invade mother nature. All that being said... it was a very mediocre, formulaic, plot-hole laden, predictible movie.

I liked it. Entertaining and exciting. Solid performances and compelling action sequences and makes you think. And for all those idiots who say the premise is silly since the WH is the most protected of all institutions all one has to do is remind these same idiots of 9-11. Actually the main villain in the film states "it takes 15 minutes for your military to get here to protect this landmark but only took me 13. Besides it is something different which leaves a lot of question unanswered and actually makes you think some and am awaiting "White House Down" later this year. 3 stars out of 4.

Noodlez, I agree.I was upset about the representation of our nation's capital being ripped to threads. I had to walked out twice. I kept coming back hoping some glimpse of hope would come sooner then later. I finally walked about just short of the end when finally Banner saved the day. I knew it would but at the last 2 minutes? People will criticize
our feelings, sure getting attacked here at home for my passionate opinion. Though I don't think Mormons would see this movie, but what if
it was Salt Lake City and the demolishment of the Mormon Temple. By some group of anti-Christians who can't respect the Mormons beliefs.
The setting, and the parallel of current issues just scared me. I hear
of what will be done, but now only hear what will be done when we get
hit. I love a action packed movie. Always had. Though we have this passionate opinion, it is still just a movie, fiction. Whether a terrorist element could decimate our nation's capital, I hope not.
I agree with many comparing it with Die Hard, having a great cast and the good elements of a good movies. However, are we suppose to become unconcerned for the possibilities of foriegn attack. Movies are a good media to accomplish this. I'm no longer scared of seeing a dead body or violence as I was 30 yrs ago. Fear of alien invasion, not so much. Still fantasy to me. So why are we going to be inundated with more movies with this scenario. With our military cuts, do we really need to be reminded of the possibilities. Yes its fear mongering.

Not that I care about being called gay on an anonymous message board, but just due to the fact that liking a certain movie makes him feel the need to make implications on my personal life.

I had the pleasure of seeing the NY screening and it was an intense action/thriller that brings some great humorous moments throughout the film. Im from DC and the audience loved the film at the screening. It's insulting to say the least when critics call someone dumb for enjoying an action film that's based on FICTION.

Caps or not...I can understand nnodlez's point. For all of you reminding noodlez that this is a work of "fiction" I would like to remind you that just because it is "fiction" and blows up DC doesn't necessarily make this "good" or "enjoyable" fiction.

IMO...quality "fiction" requires a little more brain power going "You know what would be cool to show in a movie? A terrorist blowing up DC and the White House. We don't needa plot; we'll just tell everyone they had a super secret weapon to allow the plane to fly to the White House and that will do. People are too stupid to care. And we can have a Bruce Willis\Steven Seagal wannabe as the fish-out-of-water hero saving the day for everyone."

There were no human screenwriters. It was group think from The Cloud which tells you to enjoy and so you do because The Cloud tells you to.

90% of the movies in theaters are mindless blather, yet they continue to make them and people continue to watch them. I also don't trust the critics. Everything is subjective, and sometimes it's nice to escape the intensity and challenge of everyday life with mindless blather. I see a lot of films because it is cheaper than therapy. A place to go and get out of my own head for a while. But just because I will sit through a bad movies doesn't mean I'm not thrilled by the occasional intelligent piece of cinematic brilliance.

I guess this kind of garbage film is for the dumb-down American audiences. This film is for them and so they all pump up by false patriotism feed by lies and propaganda. In past 20 yr American film audiences have dumb-down and that's why we are continued to be bombarded with an such unrealistic ludicrous film like this. Who is attacking White House and kidnapping US President? North Koreans? Wow! I rather believe in scenario where Canadians have more chance to attack White House than North Koreans. This film also has a racist tone and bias media work against rising K-pop and K-film industry. Imagine how much Hollywood producers and owners hate rising Asian film and music industry. We should be aware that Hollywood was began with racism.

It's a kick-ass action film that takes place in my home town of Washington, DC. The filmmakers got the look right. Of course how the terrorists do what they do is completely implausible -- no plane is going to get that close to the Beltway without getting shot down -- but the terrorists plane has a secret (and fictional) defensive mechanism that makes it possible. Yeah, having the Secret Service plowed down the way they were is gross -- BUT IT'S FICTION! It's a STORY, not a documentary of what could happen. It's fun. Go see it. Then visit DC if you never have and see the White House, the Washington Monument (which was shaken up by the earthquake in 2011) and the memorials and appreciate the majesty and beauty of our city which is still proudly standing.

And we've been best friends with Great Britain since December 24, 1814--The Treaty of Ghent. Washington recovered. This is a movie--fiction! Kick-ass and fun. Carnage galore.

For those who have never been to DC and don't really understand the role of the Secret Service, the movie succeeds IMHO. It takes awhile for the movie to jell, and then it's over-the-top.

Okay, seriously? This is a movie about the President being kidnapped. If reviews indicate that it's at least decent, then I'll go see it. So what if Washington landmarks are being destroyed when it's possible it could actually happen. As for it being propaganda, propaganda for what? It's a movie about American politicians and military. I don't necessarily see that as "propaganda." Also, I saw Zero Dark Thirty. In no way did I think it was propaganda. Torture of terrorists happened whether you liberal pussies like it or not. You can least grow a pair and acknowledge it happened rather than whine and complain like children. Now does that mean Zero Dark Thirty was an amazing film? No. It was an okay film, but it felt waayyy longer than its Two and a half hour run time.

I WAS BORN IN THE CITY AND CURRENTLY LIVE HERE AND THE RAW BEAUTY THIS CITY DISPLAYS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT ALONG WITH WHAT IT STANDS FOR SHOULD NOT BE IMAGINED IN ANY OTHER WAY JUST LIKE I WOULDN'T IMAGING MY WIFE'S RAW BEAUTY IN ANY OTHER WAY. TO IMAGINE THE MONUMENT AND WHITE HOUSE BEING DESTROYED FOR SOME SORT OF FINANCIAL GAIN TO FURTHER ONE'S AGENDA IS ASININE AND IT PUSHES FOLK WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO DO THIS INTO THE REALM THAT IF WE WOULD PAY TO SEE IT DESTROYED ON FILM THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BEING DESTROYED. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT SHOULD BE OFF LIMITS AND IMAGES DESECRATING THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATION IS ONE OF THEM.

Looks like hype trying to make up for story line and acting. I give it a 4 garbage can rating.

Agreed, it looks like ultra-patriotic brain wash swill. When the powers that be decide we are not conforming enough for their liking they make some crap like this to put us back in out easily controllable trance. Blindly follow your leaders or else you are not patriotic. It is in fact the exact opposite that is true, if you are a patriot you always question and scrutinize everything the leadership does.

Wow! You must really take your movies seriously if they have that kind of effect upon you.

Me? I know they're make believe. Get your shit together, get a life, and stop looking to Hollywood to tell you what to think...

You are completely missing the point of what he's trying to say. Keep thinking in your closed little box.

If you think movies are always set aside from political propaganda, then you're mistaken. Zero Dark Thirty is a perfect example

So...Pro U.S. is always propaganda. I think that a lot of people who accuse others of 'thinking in your closed little box' often do that in their own little world, too.

Wrong. Pro U.S. is not always propaganda. I don't even think that this film is propaganda. Zero Dark Thirty is.
