I think he shot White House Down before he did Django if I'm not mistaken...

Jamie's a good actor but he usually follows up VERY STRONG dramatic performances with HORRIBLE comedy/action flicks. Remember when Ray and Stealth came out in the same year? It was like two different actors.....
ray came out in oct 04 while stealth came out in july 05

Movie was much better than Olympus....by a WIDE margin.

I had a great time with WHD. Jamie does.....alright. He's fine whenever he's not trying to act presidential.

Channing Tatum is awesome, fukk the haters.

Us Black People weren't too Big on this Movie. The Black President acting like a c00n, being Shot at, being saved by a White Man.:scusthov:

Why are they making all these Movies that all of a Sudden feature The White House being under attack, being Blown Up and stuff along those Lines?:why:

That's what they want for Obama because he's not the Perfect President? Because he's Black? Because he fukked Up a couple of times? When your President, you always fukk Up a couple of Times so :stopitslime




































:why:



















































:krs:























































:umad:









































:what:




























































This Movie looked like it was going to Suck anyways so let's be Real.:yeshrug:

No not "every" black man can portray a slave with relative ease. That's undermining the Heart, Determination, Charm, and charisma that Jamie brought to that character. Django was MORE than just a "slave", he was a MAN dedicating himself to the cause of freeing his captured wife. He played that character.

Also he was great as Boudini in ALI, Willie Beamen in Any Given Sunday, and Curtis Taylor in Dreamgirls. he's more than just an impressionist

:what: Jamie had the :birdman: the entire movie. He barely acted in Django and had zero personality. Any random negro could have pulled it off.

So, was it a comedy or action......what was it? A parody?

It pretty much follows the blueprint for a summer, non-superhero, action film.

Definitely not a parody...not sure how the trailers could get you to that point.

It's mindless popcorn fun, but it's well done popcorn fun imo.

Jaime just doesnt have the range to play the President. Those previews were really bad. Shoulda made it a comedy.

It was a decent flick, but black folks gonna hate on it since there's no real c00ning going on (outside of that Jordan nonsense).
