Jean,
This movie actually is quite a bit of fun for the summertime. Roland
Emmerich has pulled out all the stops on this one. He has enough
catastrophe situations for 4 movies here. I mean Air Force One in
jeopardy, Norad and the firing off of all the country's missiles (think
War Games), flights of Raptor jets and flights of Apache Helicopters. On
top of that you practically go through the succession to replace the
President of the U.S. Everyone seems to have machine guns, bazookas,
ground to air missiles and they leave the White House in a complete
shambles. But the actors do not take themselves seriously and there is
added humor. "Do not step on my Jordans" , "That was a priceless 1600
Ming vase you just broke" and so many times they refer to the secret
tunnel under the White House that JFK and Marilyn used. I lost count
how many times Jamie Foxx gets shot or injured fatally and gets back up.
The final question of who gave out the secret codes seems awfully
"tacked on" to me. Forget saying "how can that happen" and enjoy the
movie. Dad
The previews were:
