    i'm takin' your word for it as i have yet see it.....but if it is as good the first 3, i'm in.....:D:D
  • interesting you should say that, as I'm deciding amongst a few to watch and LF&DF that is one of them.

    If it sucks I'm going to fart in your mailbox.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    My one and only complaint is that it's not as gritty as the first three and much more sleek. The action scenes are so over-the-top, though. But it's definitely worth it.
  • A classic Hollywood thriller. When I say classic, I mean not bringing anything new to the genre. You can find tons of B type films like this that Hollywood made. The difference of this one is its budget and its broad media promotion.

    John McClane should be made king of the world. Studio execs should be shot forediting out Mother fucker.

  • It was terrible.

    It's not good just because it has 'Yippee-Kiyay motherfucker' in it. It's been done before and was funny then. Write a new line for fuck's sake.

    I did notice something funny though. When the guy falls into the air ducts/propellers/jets/whatever and Bruce is watching him get chopped up, whose voice is it that says 'Ooh-ho-ho noooooo'? It can't be the dead guy and it doesn't sound like Bruce Willis. Fucking funny though. Me and some friends replayed it several times just to try and figure out whose voice it was. The cameraman's?

  • John McClane should be made king of the world.
    I agree... I'm still holding out for Die Hard meets 24. When Jack Bauer finally goes nuts, the only man who can save the world is John McClane :) How could it NOT work? THAT would be the greatest film of our generation :)

    (oh and of course Tony Almeida comes back from the dead to be McClane's compulsory sidekick)

  • While I definitely enjoyed Die Hard IV, it wasn't even as good as the other 3 previous Die Hard movies. And it wasn't just a little over the top, it was WAY over the the fucking top. I loved the review Michael Scott gave it on one of the Office episodes this year, complaining about jumping the car into the helicopter. That was so ridiculous. Cool scene, but not what the Die Hard movies are about.

    Kind of pissed they milked it down to a PG-13 rating, when all the others were Rated R. Not a huge deal, but still annoying.

    That said, again I still really enjoyed it, just not movie of our generation (not even movie of the year)

    What's "our generation"?
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    I would argue that 2 kind of sucked. I think 4 was better than 2.

    I found it was liek a greatest hits of the 90s action movies. Like one scene reminded me of True lies and another of this movie another of that etc. Also did anyone else feel they just had teh script lying around and decided to tweak it and make it a die hard?

  • I would argue that 2 kind of sucked. I think 4 was better than 2.

    Bruce Willis would agree with you, he said he didn't like 2. I thought it was good. Nowhere NEAR the first one though, and I liked the 3rd one a lot as well with Sammy.

    Remember when we first met John McClane?
    Argyle picked him up from the plane,
    And took him down to Nakatomi Tower...
    To meet with Holly.

    He came to get her back and to be her man,
    But Hans and his buddies fucked up the plan,
    And that's about when everything went sour
    At the Christmas party.

    And the terrorists were over-zealous,
    But it was sweet when they killed Ellis!
    And, with a little help from Allen,
    John McClane kicked ass!

    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

    No one dies harder than John McClane,
    Even when his wife's stuck on a plane
    About to crash into the Potomac River...
    On the eve of Christmas.

    And airport security kicked him out,
    But John McClane is just too damn proud,
    And nothing could have made him not deliver...
    'Cause that's his business!

    And with a lot of fights and gunplay
    He blew that plane up on the runway.
    And, with a little help from Allen,
    Holly's plane could land!

    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

    Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

    No one dies harder than John McClane,
    Saving all the passengers on the train.
    But Simon wasn't clear with his intentions:
    It was just a distraction!

    And there was no way McClane could know
    That Hans Gruber was Simon's bro.
    And that's what made it "Die Hard: With A Vengeance"
    With Samuel Jackson!

    And the good cop wouldn't miss this,
    Even though it wasn't Christmas.
    He didn't get any help from Allen...
    But only in part three!

    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

    Finally we're back with John McClane
    Now we got a choice, and the choice is plain:
    We can live free or we can die hard,
    As hard as we can.

    From taking on a terrorist he's never met,
    To taking on an F-35 jet,
    With the greatest car explosions by far...
    This sure looks sweet, man!

    And we know what the basic gist is:
    There ain't no Allen, and it's not Christmas.
    We don't know but we're pretty sure that
    John McClane kicks ass!

    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
    We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

    Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!
