"OLYMPUS IS STUPID VERSUS WHITE HOUSE CRAP!"

Cmon people (screaming)...really?! Is this what you guys referred to as some of the best movies for 2013?
I remember seeing the trailer for the movies 'Olympus has fallen' and ' White house down' a while back and was uninterested because if there is one thing I  have learnt, trailers over exaggerate!

But then I started listening, listening to people (which is the reason for my vexation) who said that this movies, which can be easily identified as replicas of 'RAMBO' and 'COMMANDO', (where they lie that one man can do what an entire army can not do) are very good.

CMON...ARE PEOPLE STILL PSYCHED OVER THESE KINDS OF MOVIES?! FOR REAL...REALLY, ARE YOU?!

These movies is just an attempt by the Americans to brainwash you into thinking they are untouchable, and you know what...you guys fell for it!

In Olympus Has Fallen, the White House (Secret Service codename: “Olympus”) is captured by terrorists. Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning (Gerald Butler) seemingly finds himself trapped inside, in the wake of the attack. Using his inside knowledge ( and his attachment to the first kid of the USA...pleassseee), Banning works with national security in an effort to rescue the President (Aaron Eckhart) from his kidnappers and avert an even bigger disaster.

In White House Down – Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news ( why is there always a child involved), he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is suddenly overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save the President, his daughter, and the country. Notice the similarity?

Well I understand that the movies were released around the time when Americans celebrated their independence this year (and this I understand may rejuvenate patriotism, I guess), but the unrealistic aspect of the movies should have been piped low. I can give you an instance.

In a scene in White house down, Channing Tatum's daughter can be seen arguing with a heavily armed terrorist, is that possible? Really? The child should be peeing in her pants!

There is one thing these movies have in common, they made the American security and its army look stupid. A statement by the bad guy in 'Olympus has fallen' where he said with a smirk 'that it took the United States Armed Forces 15 mins to respond to the mayhem, while it took him 13 mins to invade the White House' points to this.

Well, enough said! May e no be like say I dey spoil people market, or may America come deny me visa bcos of this post ( me too one travel go yankee na)...if you are a fan of things that make no sense, 'White house down' and 'Olympus has fallen' is a must watch! As for me, I have had enough of all the RAMBO and COMMANDO crap! Except any of you intend to argue that we do have some people that are a ONE MAN ARMY! ANYBODY?!
