not surprised that its not as good as the last 2. dint like part 3, part 4 was alright but sure not great. i read about it on facebook but havent read anything yet on the cinema website. im wondering when this will show up in australia.
After seeing that list, all I can really say is: well, when you put it like that...Also, I'm noting significantly no hype, which means there's nothing even as badass as Bruce Willis (a man so awesome he has no nickname, one might note) stepping out of a car to shoot while the car spins around him, a la RED. Which just makes me want to go watch RED again. Or anything with Bruce Willis being a hilariously impressive badass. Maybe RED, then Fifth Element. It's Friday, after all, and I have to get down.
Dude, until I saw this video, I had no idea they were even MAKING another Dit Hard movie. My first thought was that, with a title that corny, it had to be another MovieBob retrospective video (like his last 'Musclepocalypse' one) about the Die Hard franchise. Boy was I surprised!Draconalis said:

I read somewhere Bruce plans to do one final film (sixth).
I can't seem to find a source, does anyone know what I'm talking about.

i was kinda hoping they would pass the torch to his daughter and that geeky computer kid from the last movie. I was getting that vibe at the end, and I do feel like... I don't really need to see another one of the kids. How is the girl like, barely mid-college and the boy kid is what, mid twenties and an important CIA operative? I don't think I need to see this one, ever.
It is really too bad how bad this movie is. Not that it's terrible, really, just entirely soulless and forgettable. For so long the Die Hard series was one of those that was just good, and nothing could change it. And even 4 wasn't bad, I could tolerate Justin Long and the plot, while ridiculous, managed to set up some good action. And most important, John McClane still felt like John McClane. Now, I get the feeling that the screenwriter for this one was just throwing up whatever action ideas came to mind with no regard for the classic McClane character.
The action was uninspired and never even seemed like the way a Die Hard movie does action, Jack Jr. was a little prick, John Sr. feels like a bad impression of himself, and yeah, it's just totally forgettable. Really depressing, as I love Bruce Willis and the Die Hards were always some of my favorite action flicks.

The order that he liked the Die Hard films. I would swap 2 and 4 but I've never really liked Harlin's films with the lone exception of The Long Kiss Goodnight.Tenmar said:
I've already read that one possible reason why this movie is so awful is due to yet another Fox hatchet job. As such, I'll wait and hope the BD has an extended cut that fleshes-out what appears to currently be a paper-thin story.
Still one of my favorite Christmas films. Plus I was a big fan of David Addison at the time. Also "Hans bubby, I'm your white knight" is possibly the greatest ad libbed lines in movie history.
I'm thinking you should also see Look Who's Talking and Look Who's Talking Too before you see Die Hard 5. It looks that bad.

I'd like to see you do a retrospective piece if you can. List a few movies that you have seen, but can't remember. Granted as a film critic you have seen the movies that were supposed to be big, but that you wound up not remembering an hour after finishing watching. A list of the worst.MovieBob said:

I am assuming that is your favorite Die Hard list, in which case, I totally agree Bob.
1 will always be the best.
With a Vengeance is always fun to watch. Unlike Cop Out's sad attempt with Tracy Morgan, having a partnership with Samuel L. "Mother F***ing" Jackson was pure gold. I still love watching these two.
2 was fine but was a lot like The Hangover 2 to me: the same movie as the original. It had some changes, but felt like the first movie again. 3 at least gave it a different feel.
4? Ass. Pure Ass.
If 5 is worse than 4, then I do not plan to see it. I'll just go find the original trilogy on TV and enjoy the good ol' days.

Watching the review I was already pretty surprised that they'd end up in Chernobyl, but they actually drove there? Good lord that's retarded.Shirokurou said:
Why.... Why would you tell people to go see Hudson Hawke. Yeah, it was a joke, but WHY. That should be illegal.
You know what they should do? Make another movie, pick a really good action movie director, and just call it Die hard.And then finish the movie with a big, very hard fight, and at the end, John Mclane dies. That i would pay to see, a fitting dramatic end, and it would fit quite nicely with the title.
Doesn't make any difference - this movie knows that for most people, Chernobyl is just one of those stereotypical, "iconic Russian" things. That's what it thinks of its audience. I bet there will be either a nihilistic and drunk, lecherous and rich, or cold and brutish Russian too.piscian said:Chernobyl isn't Russian
