Olympus Has Fallen definitely had the more cerebral title.
[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]But the only way anyone could come to the conclusion Olympus Has Fallen was a smarter FILM than White House Down would be if they had no sense of humour whatsoever. For a movie about terrorists taking over the White House, I was amazed at just how dour and joyless Olympus managed to be; the only time the movie seemed to be having any fun at all was when Gerard Butler was stabbing a guy. Meanwhile, if Olympus Has Fallen was Die Hard in the White House, White House Down was Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World in the White House. Jamie Foxx's president character put on his emergency Air Force 1s to go blow shit up with a rocket launcher during an armored SUV chase on the South Lawn. The president in Olympus wasn't EVEN the right colour! I'd almost say it's worth watching Olympus first just to appreciate how much better White House Down is, only I'm not 100% positive White House Down is worth seeing either :([/quote]
