Morgan Freeman was the Acting President. Which means Aaron Eckhart was no longer in charge. As such, when the terrorist was threatening to kill the President, Freeman should have said, "You don't have the President. I'm the President. And the US does not negotiate with terrorists."<br /><br />The same for the Admiral and the Defense Secretary. They should have ignored his orders to give up the codes. "With all due respect, sir, [Freeman] is the current POTUS, so I can't obey that order."DeadlyAccuratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361707307035259942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-81980683961161003152013-08-07T15:15:10.022-04:002013-08-07T15:15:10.022-04:00Heh, outside of my friend who I saw these movies w...Heh, outside of my friend who I saw these movies with, I'm having a hard time finding anyone who agrees with me here, lol. :P But it was WHD's more comedic approach that allowed me to forgive any of its idiotic moments, in comparison to OHF's more serious take. OHF just didn't seem nearly as aware of how ridiculous a movie it was, but I can see how WHD's cheese could be off-putting. <br /><br />At least we agree on President Foxx, however.

As for Scandal, I've heard good things about it, so I may need to look into it. :)Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-29966436171384834322013-08-07T12:25:58.411-04:002013-08-07T12:25:58.411-04:00Since I haven't watched White House Down, I ca...Since I haven't watched White House Down, I can't say anything. If I have to choose, I'll choose Scandal over those two. Great show, btw.

I was surprised at the overall comedic approach in White House Down but after awhile it got too cheesy for me.<br /><br />The villains in OHF were much more believable, however I do prefer president Jamie Foxx over President Eckhart.Shawna Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021482078680228741noreply@blogger.com
