"Ive got a headache A VERY VERY BAD HEADACHE" *Smack*
It's a good popcorn flick unlike Michael Bay movies which are bad pop corn flicks lol
Because that's not Die Hard. That's what isn't to love.
We are moving farther and farther away from what makes McClane great.
It isn't about one location, it isn't about a man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now it's gotten too big, too action focused and there isn't that special element present anymore that is such a part of Die Hard at its origin.
It's not any bigger than DH3.
Seems to me like it is.
For me, the Die Hard movies are akin to the Death Wish sequels - not a patch on the original one.
From what I have seen it appears John helps Jack on his own accordance, while in Die Hard he has to take action to survive. I don't know how best to explain it.
I'm not going to judge this film until I've seen it, but you have a point there @0Brady, even Len Wiseman on the 4th was very much aware of this. In one of the featurettes he said 'There was originally a script where McClane volunteered to help, but that just isn't Die Hard. He has to get in the action unintentionally' or something like that. This is going to be the first Die Hard film not to do that.
Skip Woods writing doesn't help either. This is Die Hard! Is that all they could find?
Next time, they need to up their game - a lot!
I'm still looking forward to watching this film though, for some reason.
That's how I am - it's looking bad, and I probably shouldn't see it, but I will. I was excited for this movie before, so I'll see it and decide for myself. It's only a few bucks lost, if it is absolute trash.
Die Hard 4.0 was a 15 and that was really toned down so how will this be? Not really looking forward to it much at all now to be honest.
Taken 2 was a 12a and it wasn't terrible but this is Die Hard. The swearing and ultra violence is the best bit.
I might just leave it and hope they release an uncut version on DVD.
As for the uncut version, they should. They even finally got around to releasing the unrated version of 'Live Free or Die Hard' on blu-ray - I, of course, am still stuck with the PG-13 version - and it makes the film a little bit better.
"and a partial use of ‘motherf***er’, the end of which has been cut short so the implied strong language is not heard in full"
They even ruined the catchphrase AGAIN. FFS.
That's it, I'm telling my fiance when she gets in from work that we're moving to America. I don't care if they call football the wrong name over there anymore, it'll be worth it to get an R rated Die Hard film. You lot have mechanics and receptionists over there so we probably won't end up unemployed. We'll be fine.
What a joke, it's as if things just got worse.
Now, I'm in even less of a rush to see it.
of the Die Hard Franchise, by that I mean that you'll be wishing it ended at 3 or 4 at a push but this sounds like it's going to well and truly piss on the series legacy, well if you want to see this kind of junk be my guest but I've heard enough now to make sure I won't be shelling out for this.
I'll still see it. I was excited for it, and I don't want to let reviews get in the way of it. I'll judge it once I've seen it.
All bets are off for the last one, please go out on a higher note. Make it happen Willis. We need John McTiernan and someone who can actually write for a start.
What a shambles. :(
Looks like I'll be seeing this movie after all but even if it's crap at least I'll have enjoyed seeing the others before it.
To be fair it's not as bad as the 12 year gap between Vengance and 4.0
Nice going @thelivingroyale. Hopefully it's the uncut versions of three and four.
Never knew that. Did they have to rewrite it because it involved middle eastern villians or something?
I think the gap might be shorter if there is a 6th movie because Willis getting on a bit now.
The whole film was rethought in light of the attack but the hacker angle we got has similarities with the original script as do the villains. Of course it was based on an article, only the fifth film was written as a Die Hard film and it seems for the worst.
Hopefully this one does well enough and the final one gets going within a couple of years. Holly better be back too, along with Lucy and Jack. "Out with a bang", needs to be the memo.
I love this series, it needs to be remembered well.
I hope Mcclane is on his own for the 6th film.
From what I understand Jack mellows throughout the film. A nice set up for number six there.
Keep the main four characters from the series, get them all back and call it a day, I'd hate to see this go off the rails to the degree Indy did.

Not the best start. 8/8 are not in the slighest complementary.
Let me know if it has any nice shots of Moscow.
It stands at 7% now! Whew, who knew it was going to be this terrible, apparently?
