You'll never hear ...<i>Die Hard</i> is a true classic. You'll never hear "Yippee-ki-yay" the way same again.<br /><br />III and IV are worth watching. II is mostly awful. In II, they make the classic mistake of trying to convince us how bad the bad guys are by having them kill lots and lots of people. II is also technically implausible. IV is technically implausible, but in the same way that the computer virus business in <i>Independence Day</i> is technically implausible, meaning you can just go along for the ride.<br /><br />Plus Justin Long (the Mac guy) turns in a surprisingly un-annoying performance playing right to type.Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182644885948983861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9721761.post-79921383748958734422010-01-05T22:19:37.456-05:002010-01-05T22:19:37.456-05:00I agree that Die Hard is a truly great film, and i...I agree that Die Hard is a truly great film, and is far better written and made than many people give it credit for.<br />While part 2 and 3 are really pretty pointless, Live Free or Die Hard is also really good- intelligent and action packed (maybe a bit over the top- Bruce VS a Harrier... ok, silly, but cool to watch). The only real downer is that since parts 1-3 focused on the couple trying to save their marriage, the fourth gives up on the premise and just says they're divorced. Sad, but a great time saver. Anywho, give it a watch and tell me what you think!mike Cnoreply@blogger.com
