Die Hard 4, Live Free Or Die Hard doesn’t suck?

 

But, how?

 

It’s the first Die Hard installment to be rated a mere PG-13, and it features the gangly nerd from the snobby Macintosh commercials.

 

I thought for sure I would be rolling my eyes, and cussing the filmmakers for Die Hard 4, but only twenty minutes into the film I was grinning at every sequence.

 

The more I reflect on the action film the more I like it too. I laughed myself to sleep last night thinking of one of John McClane’s witty remarks.

 

Any fan of the greatest action movie ever made (the original Die Hard) will certainly find Live Free or Die Hard wildly entertaining. The body count is just as high as the others, which shows you can kill as many people as you want, just don’t say the F word.

 

As the terrorist scenarios for each Die Hard evolve and become even more ludicrous than the last, I find myself wishing that a bad guy would finally punch Willis to which he laughs and replies, “Ha, I’m John McClane.” It would perfectly sum up how you cannot kill this dedicated cop, and that the audience loves it.

 

The action scenes were insane, the new villain Timothy Olyphant is one of my favorite up and comers in Hollywood and the icing on the cake was a shockingly original ending.

 

Go see this movie—you kind of even wind up liking Justin Long; just a little.
