A good day to Die Hard
 

Really? Another one?

At least it is getting an R Rating.

I thought the last one was ****ing awesome. Loved Justin Long and Tim Olyphant. I really dug the story, too. IMO, MUCH better than 2 or 3. They adapted it from a novel, so it was some script demanded by a Hollywood Honcho looking to save his job.

This should be badass as well.

If Bruce Willis is in it..I'm there. Yessir awesome!

The only true classic is the 1st one. But the other ones are a lot of fun too. I love this character and I love the way Willis plays it. I'm in.

I liked the last one too, but there were some parts that were just TOO over the top. Whose idea was it to have McLain take down a ****ing fighter with a semi?

But yeah, I wish it was Rated R, and take some of it down a notch but I liked it.

Len Wiseman's idea. I think he's too over the top as well but I enjoyed the movie anyway. IMO, it was well done, Saturday afternoon escapism.

Hell, I wish I could say that about more movies these days.

But that could be said of 80% of the sequels ever made.

There are very few that live up to the expectations set by the original film.

Yep. Very true

I agree with this. That movie kicked ass.

I really liked the last one as well. I guess I like 3 a lot more than some, at least the ones that posted so far.

Sam Jackson and Willis worked perfectly together as black vs white, Justin Long did a good job as young vs old, I'm interested to see how his son and him play off one another.

I liked 3 better than 4. The whole all the gold in Fort Knox was a little campy, but a lot of it is.

Like I said before I wish 4 had been rated R. It would have been much better without trying to be PG-13 McClain.

I think the DVD cut of it was rated R. Probably just a few more colorful metaphors.

I thought 2 and 3 were lame, which is why I was blown away by the last one.

Agreed! What made John McClane's character cool was that he was a beat cop; although extraordinary, still a cop. Made you think while watching the first two (best Xmas movies BTW) that, "Yeah.... I think I can do that if I had to." The most hair-raising scene from 1 was when he bungee'd off the roof with a fire hose wrapped around his waist. I think I can do that too!

But, as JM did in 4, modocsot can't surf on a fighter jet. He did deliver my favorite line from that movie after beating Maggie Q's character, "Last time I saw her she was at the bottom of a elevator shaft with an SUV rammed up her ass." LOL! Ok, that scene was over the top too.

Uh, no.

He was a New York City detective.

Big difference.

If you think anything Die Hard, ever, is lame, YOU are lame.

Even the airport Die Hard was great.

Blowing up an airplane while the villain is getting away is just fantastic.

Correction, blowing up the plane while the villain gets away by leaving a trail of gas along the runway THEN while the plane was in air the stream of fire followed the plane killing 30+ terrorists AFTER one of the terrorist assholes was just ran through the planes turbines... awesome movie is awesome.

Yeah the fourth neutered his Yipee Kay Yay Mother ****er, and on the PG13 version you can tell that the actor clearly says a curse word and something completely different comes out. Almost as bad as when cable TV makes the person say "Cheese and Rice." I thought 3 was right behind the original, the only thing that was bad about 3 IMO was the end battle with the baddie. Went by way too fast, and then he shoots the electrical line killing the chopper. It sounds like a great way to kill the last guy but it should've been more epic than it was.

It was epic enough because he had only one bullet if I recall.

I could not stop laughing when I saw the beginning of that movie with Briluce Willis wearing a sign that says I Hate Naggers.

Heh. Apparently he goes and gets his son. More interested.

My rankings were: 1, 3, 2, 4.

I loved the first three. Die Hard is my favorite movie ever. I've owned it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. I'd buy it on Laser Disc if I had one. Vengeance is great. The cat and mouse chase with the riddles adds an intellectual layer that is absent in almost all action films. The second film is a pretty generic sequel, but has some awesome scenes in it. The last one was too ridiculous. The F-22 scene made the ejection seat scene with the 45 second fused grenades seem plausible.

It was meh. The alternate ending was soooo much better.

Didn't know where was a alternate ending.

That was SOOOOOO much better.

That scene is magic.

:thumb:

I would love to see that edited with music.

Wellllllll..........


But yeah, they fucked up not going with that ending.

Willis is apparantly "all in" for a Die Hard 6.

I think if i was McClane, after being in the wrong place for 5 times, id never leave the house again.

Better to have over the top action than boring action right?

Personally I like over-the-top action. I practically jumped out of my chair and cheered when he rammed the car into the heli. Bad ass. Physics be damned.

I loved the first because it kinda played out like a slasher film in reverse. The bad guys were trapped with the good guy while he picked them off one by one. Most action movies back then were pretty much 'good guy rampages and kills hundreds of bad guys in over-the-top action to save and or get revenge for his daughter/wife/girlfriend/partner.' McClain stalking, harassing, and then killing the bad guys one by one was awesome as hell, and I loved watching Hans squirm.

WOW, I didn't know that existed. That was BADASS.

Your right. What was cool about Die Hard at the time of release was that it was different. It was basically an ordinary guy put into an extraordinary circumstance. It wasn’t a cartoon like the Arnie and Stallone movies were. Whats funny is, the recent Die Hard movies have become just that. Oh well, they are still fun, but there is really no way to keep the concept going without it becoming an over the top cartoon I guess.

Interesting fact:

The Die Hard script was originally penned as a sequel to 'Commando'

I don't even want to think how many re-writes it took to get from A to B.

8% so far on RT.....Ouch.

Meh. I'll still watch it.

Audience says 82% LMAO

Love it when critics and audiences are at complete opposite ends.

Sadly, most people are really ****ing stupid. Sounds like it's basically Bruce Willis in a 90 minute FPS video game.

I'm certainly not wasting theater money on it.

Horrible, horrible movie. My wife loves the Die Hard series so I took her to see it and would have walked out in the first 15 minutes, if not for her. Can I get just an ounce of realism in a movie? This move made Stevan Segall's films look like documentaries.

Saw it. Looked like I was watching Call of Duty.

Caught this last night.

It should be noted that I went in expecting a big fat steaming pile of cheese. I also went in expecting to laugh my ass off. It wasn't nearly as cheesy as I expected and I still laughed my ass off.

I thought this was better than Live Free or Die Hard. It was "more" plausable, the villians were better, and it was rated R FFS.

Speaking of Rated R, they dropped the **** bomb a little too much. It felt forced. It seemed like they got the R Rating so they felt like they had to do it. In the early ones, it just flowed. This one they forced it and it was kind of dumb.

Overall, it's a popcorn flick. Nothing more, nothing less. I enjoyed it, but it is just what I expected. I had fun with it, but I can see how some would hate it.

Should have stopped after 3.

The second one sucked shit, too. Three and Four were better.

JFC I'm about 20 minutes in and this movie is a disaster.

Totally agree.

Yup, seems like Willis doesn't even want to be there. I was hugely disappointed.

The best thing about the Die Hard movies was when they played the first one on Network TV and dubbed out the profanity.

Yippee ki yay, Melon Farmer.

This was the worst movie I've seen since "Wanted".

If it wasn't for just wanting to relax and go to sleep, I would've got up and turned this movie off without wasting a care.
The whole thing was over the top unrealistic action with cheesy lines by the entire cast.

Willis whispers all of his lines.

Havent seen it yet but I hear its awful. At least its rated R I guess

I actually enjoyed Wanted. Glad I only rented it though.

yeah Wanted was good trashy fun imo. Plus you got to see Jolie's ass

Turrible movie. Awful way for the franchise to go out.

Just finished watching a DVR copy from a free HBO preview weekend. Glad I didn't pay for this sh#t.

Yeah just saw it for free on demand last night. Still felt ripped off
