Comparison of "The White House Has Fallen" & "Crisis"

Whenever there is a remake of a movie, people are very keen to compare the old and new versions. The two movies have been separated for so many years. Where is the innovation in the new version, where is it worse, and has the movie become better with the development of the times? ? However, the final conclusion is basically that the new is not as good as the old. I don't know if the shooting is really bad, or the audience has become more critical. This topic will not be discussed here. After all, the films of the new era have improved a lot in both narrative and technology, and the comparability is not very large, while the same period is more interesting, such as "Clash of the Gods" and "Percy Jackson" ". But this is not always the case. For example, the Swedish version and the American version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" have exactly the same plot, and it is difficult to watch one of the other, let alone compare.
Of course, these are eclipsed by the two films about the fall of the White House that were released almost at the same time. The same genre, the same audience, the same model, and even the protagonist's identity is basically the same... It's just to see whose story is more attractive People, whose special effects are more fierce, whose shootout is more exciting. . .
In terms of plot, the general framework of the two films is the same (both the White House is controlled by someone, and then the protagonist takes care of all the enemies and saves the president's drama), and they are both main theme films and various praises. In this regard, "The Fall of the White House", which has seized the opportunity to be released, is obviously better. After briefly explaining the background at the beginning, it quickly enters the plot with a tight rhythm, and the villain's invasion is more technical and convincing. . "Crisis" is more inclined to add a lot of jokes. Even in tense moments, the protagonist and the president are still focused on constantly being cute, which is in sharp contrast with the seriousness of "The White House Has Fallen" (after "The Avengers", now Most of the blockbusters like to be silent in the movie), but the rhythm is poor, and occasionally I get bored in the middle, and the situation of the fall of the White House is not as domineering as the former
. But all kinds of special effects scenes are not stingy. Machine guns, fighter plane crashes, explosions, and missiles are all available. It is quite enjoyable to watch with the tense rhythm. The latter, which has a larger investment, has more explosive scenes of the White House car chase and Boeing aircraft, but although the investment is as high as 130 million, like the former, some special effects scenes are a bit rough, such as the smoke rising from the White House, which does not look real
Gunfight & Music: There is nothing to say about the two films, they are nothing more than chu chu chu, and there are not many bright spots. I haven't paid much attention to the music, so I can't compare it.
In general, "The White House Has Fallen" has less investment, a tight rhythm, and has more direct-attack big scenes. "Crisis" has a large investment and a slower pace, but it is always in Funny (why did the one with more investment go for a comedy instead...), relatively happy

"The White House Has Fallen"
Overall rating: 3.8/5.0 (the main theme of the plot, the rhythm is tight, the strength of the enemy's invasion is worthy of the audience)
Entertainment Index : 3.9/5.0 (many scenes, smooth viewing experience)
aftertaste index: 1.7/5.0 (invasion stage is the highlight of the whole film)
Box office performance: cost 70 million, it can be said that it is all used on the blade, and it is particularly enjoyable to watch. The box office in the first week was 30.37 million, which was a good performance, but overseas audiences were not very enthusiastic about this theme, only 62.1 million, but the global box office received 161.02 million, which can be considered a happy

"Crisis"
Overall score: 3.6/5.0 (main theme) , the rhythm is often interrupted)
Entertainment Index: 3.8/5.0 (the whole process is funny, but unfortunately lost to the slow rhythm and petty invasion)
Aftertaste Index: 1.8/5.0 (The witty president and Black Hawk City fly low)
Box office performance: cost It is more than double that of the one released in the same period, but because of the missed opportunity of the release, and the budget of 150 million gives the audience the feeling that a large part of it is a joke, so the first week of 24.85 million The box office is really weak, but the strange thing is that this time it is the turn of the overseas audience to get excited. The box office is as high as 132.26 million, and the global box office is 205.36 million. At least

the English name of the two is basically the same (and), the first to be screened was given a literal translation, and the later was given a super wide-ranging name (Crisis, what is it... an alien invasion, or a super earthquake). As far as the plot is concerned, the former is just the destruction of the United States, and the latter is the third world war (I doubt it will start, the news reports that the White House has been hijacked, even if missiles are fired at other countries, they will not fight back because of it) , It seems that the words are quite shocking,
and the means of invasion, obviously the frontal attack of "The White House Has Fallen" is even more shocking, each plan is linked one after another, the bomber attracts attention, the onlookers solve the security, the heavy machine gun cover, the bazooka bomb The door, cooperate with Neiying to take down the bunker, the whole process is smooth and smooth, the only weakness is that the bodyguards in the White House are rather stupid, not only do they not look for cover, they keep rushing out when others are shooting with machine guns... Even so, it is better than the latter's pure inner ghost The method is more interesting
. The bomber plot of "The White House Has Fallen" is so pitiful, and it is only after flying to Washington that I know how to intercept it. Although the low-flying black eagle in "Crisis" is very cool, I don't know what they are doing there. ...to blow up the White House, or to rescue the hostages?
When the car is about to fall, shouldn't it be holding the frame on the wheel and pulling it back, but a group of people want to press down...
The headquarters of "The White House
Has Fallen" is even cooler. About the grenade, I read the article before, and it basically exploded There are 2 triggering methods, one is collision explosion, which explodes when it hits something. The other is a delayed explosion, which takes a while to explode after the plug is pulled out. However, the protagonist pulled out the latch and waited for a while before throwing it out. There was still time for someone to kick it back. How long was the delay of the grenade set... The
plots of the two movies are so similar, they should be adapted from the same I
really don't know why the second villain of "Shocking Crisis" invited him to shoot so many blockbusters. "Rise of the Apes 2", "Shocking Crisis", and "Terminator: Genesis" all played important roles in
more than a dozen movies. The
scenes of the planes being shot down by missiles are quite shocking, and 130 million is domineering. But it's a pity that girl, she hasn't even hit 2nd base yet (although I don't know what it means)
The president of "The White House Has Fallen" is a white man, and "Crisis" is a black man, it's a bit subtle haha
