I had seen parts of it before, but last night I watched the whole thing start to finish. Is it me? I hate to single out "White House Down" because there are a ton of movies that are probably worse, but..... just so stupid! Yes, I do realize that one HAS TO suspend reality in order to enjoy almost any movie, but, geez! Early on, the terrorist team takes over the White House with a "one shot, one kill" ratio, knocking out ALL security guards, Capitol Police, military, secret service, etc who get in their way. Then, once the protagonist gets involved, these same "sharp shooters" are blowing through thousands of rounds per minute without so much as nicking the protagonist(s). All of these action movies anymore are like they are written and directed by a 6-year-old with ADD 
. The shame is: "White House Down" (along with a LOT of recent movies) COULD be great! Make the scenes just a smidge more believable and it might be a movie I could watch over and over again. As it is, once was too many.
