Hollywood's Favorite Targets: Why Always the Eiffel Tower?

Another major landmark faces cinematic destruction. In the new film "Greenland 2," star Gerard Butler confronts another global catastrophe. It joins a long list of action movies that feature the demolition of famous sites like the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, and Golden Gate Bridge. Critics ask: why always the same landmarks? They suggest filmmakers should "mix it up." Using lesser-known global monuments could feel fresher for audiences. The film's release timing is also noted. The plot involves Americans focusing on Greenland. Some observers find this theme awkward given current global politics. There is also a story continuity issue. The first "Greenland" film ended with the planet being destroyed by meteors. Making a sequel to that event has raised questions for some viewers. The core criticism remains. As one commentator put it, perhaps it is time for Hollywood to forget Big Ben and try destroying something new.
