As a massive fan of the first Die Hard film, let me be the first to say that this looks fucking godawful.

That line is exactly why the new films suck. John McClane is not an American 007.

I want to believe this is good, at least there are no computers.

With that said, I still think the best way to end the "franchise" is to just have a bizarre set of coincidences where McClane ends up back at Nakatomi Plaza and some morons try to jack the place with him inside. All fans really want is either someone to come up with a script that doesn't suck balls, so why not hurt them most by basically remaking number one.

Looks good, guns, explosions and more guns and explosions. Not sure why anyone expects different from Willis in a Die Hard film?

Die Hard as a concept is about a reluctant man against insurmountable odds, who demonstrates vulnerability, while operating within a set out playground.

1, 2, 3 all follow this structure very well. 4 doesn't, this looks like it won't.

This.

McClane has become some sort of secret agent saving the world from super villains. It's bullshit.

This looks worse than the originals.

I love the implication that the original(s) are terrible. Two is pretty average, one and three are the pinnacle of the action genre.

Don't bother. The amount of arguments I've had with KM about Die Hard is simply ridiculous.

If you can't defend the quality of Die Hard then you've failed at life.

I've spent most of my life defending the quality of Die Hard, but KM lives in his own little fantasy world where late 80s Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman aren't awesome. I don't know what to do with that.

Somehow I've never watched Die Hard 3, despite having watched 1 and 2.

Probably a Die Hard marathon when 5 comes out \o/

Whoa there cowboy. I think Alan Rickman is superb in Die Hard and in most everything. I don't like Bruce Willis or Die Hard as an action movie is all

If I'm referring to the third in the series on its own then it is known as Die Hard with a Vengance.

And watch it.

I liked Die Hard 4.

It's not awful.

It's just a pretty average action flick, and it's not a die hard film.

If it was a random Bruce Willis action flick no one would care, but it was doomed by it's association and subsequent betrayal of the Die Hard name.
