Couldnt find a topic about it, so sorry if there is!

To be honest, when i first heard about a 4th Die hard, my reaction was "oh no, please no". But i have to say, i loved it. Better than the 2nd and 3rd for sure.

Plenty of McClane humour and plenty of action sequences.

Would definitely reccommend it to anyone who likes some action.

I loved it. Better than the 2nd, But Im not sure where I place it compared to the 3rd. I think Id need to watch it again a couple more times to decide.

Considering the rating, the director and the age of old Brucie, it was pretty damn good - the man still does a lot of his own stunts. Nice to see some real effects too and not all CGI.

Everyone go see it, its a Die Hard film!

Amazing! :D great fun to watch... I just wish they didnt feel the need to make all the computers involved look like they came from an episode of star trek.

I thought it was pretty good, no way is it as good as 1 or 3 though!

It was a little too over the top in places, but still not bad at all :)

It definitely was a little over the top in parts, but then you expect that a little from Die Hard I guess :) On a nights reflection Id say it definitely wasnt as good as 3. I quite like 2 even though it is the worst of the bunch. If this had someone like McTiernan at the helm it could have beaten 3.

Made great hangover viewing.

The truck/bridge/F-35 sequence was great plus the traffic lights going out high level multi street view. Great stunts throughout really.

I dont think its as strong as 1 & 3, but its definitely better than 2... which I still enjoy as well.

Cant wait to see 4.0! It was never going to be as good as 1 but if its as good as 2 Ill be happy. I thought 3 was the weakest personally anyway.
Career, Wife, Mortgage... my sig was better when it listed guitars and PC's and stuff!

Worst out of the lot. No smoking, no swearing, no proper punchups, too much shakyvision and way over the top. McClanes character was ruined. That fit bird should never have died so early, she was the only good baddie in it.

2/5 imo - yet another example of why making c18 films PG-13 is a bad idea.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

I was actually sat thinking about halfway through how I hadnt even noticed the lack of swearing. The fit chinese bird didnt do a fat lot, but I didnt want it to turn into a kung-fu/Parkour-fest and Im glad both those characters didnt swamp the screen time.

Bang on the money there, Parkour is due to fizzle out methinks, ok its cool and whatever, but its pretty much finding its way into the mainstream a bit much, I liked it in bond, but im glad it didnt go overboard in Die Hard.

We need to rally - McTiernan for Die Hard 5

Oh and did anyone else notice the subtle product placement of Snickers and Alienware :roll:

ahaaa, Found out now why they are called differently now in the us, Apparently the idea of the title has always been 4.0 first which indicates digital and computers as that is the underline theme of the movie but apparently The American Folk as always did not get the title and so the different title for the US folk as apparently most of them do not even realise the plot line and what is going and only know of what mainly happens.

Oh dear, poor chaps over there (just seen it on tv)

Lame.

Worst of the lot, it was "entertaining" but not a good film.

CGI was terrible in parts, what with the floating people "running" out of different american administration buildings with the anthrax alarms, the F35 cannons seemingly only making small holes in the front of the cab the first time it shot stuff... then finally blowing it to smithereens the second time (like they suddenly realised the first time was crap).

Generally just an alright film. Definately doesnt beat the other 3.

ive never seen No1 tbh, but I loved No2 and 3 so will defo be seeing this
