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.

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.

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.

I agree with this. That movie kicked ass.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
