1/4  I Choose Dying For This One
Let me just start by saying that I have a lot of nerve rating and reviewing this movie, because I haven't seen the whole thing. With that being said, I sat through the first 10 minutes of this movie and turned it off. While I was watching ... (read full)

2.5/4  John McClane or Clark Kent?
This movie started out well, and got moving right away, but by the end of the movie, I was ready for John McClane to rip off his shirt to reveal the Superman shield across his chest. At least the first movie was some what believable. All... (read full)

4/4  Live Free or Die Hard
The best summer film so far. With its non-stop action and constant humour, I wanted the film to run longer. The antagonists of the film are quite venomous yet charming at the same time, which made it that much better than your typical acti... (read full)

3.5/4  #2 Die Hard movie
This is my second favorite Die Hard movie. The first was of course my favorite, but this one was great. The action scenes were awesome and the comedy added by the "hackers" made it even more enjoyable. The only thing I would have changed i... (read full)

3/4  Live Free or Die Hard Quick Review
Better than I expected. Of course it was way over-the-top but I still love John McClane. Very action-packed.

2.5/4  Live Free or Die Hard Quick Review
Nothing about this movie is Die Hard. It is merely an action movie with a Bruce Willils cover. The worst of the series, but still an above average action flick. The plot is thin (and lame) and the kid is annoying - still, Willis is tough.

4/4  Live Free or Die Hard Quick Review
Although it's not quiet at the level of the first three movies, this is still easily on the most entertaining action movies in the last decade.

5/5 Almost the best "Die Hard" sequel yet--close to the original
  by Dennis W. Wong
When I heard that there was going to a 4th "Die Hard" installment to the franchise--my heart sank!! Why? Because the last 2 sequels were pale repeats of the original premise with slight modifications in the plot like the hi-jacking of a plane or the threat of bombs blowing up in NYC. The franchise seemed burned out and of course Willis himself was getting long in the tooth for these shenanigans!! But lo and behold we get a re-boot in a plausible story line of how a disavowed or disgrunted government worker creates a "fire sale" by hacking in on the main computers in the nation. How's that for originality which was lacking in the sequels? Also for once Willis is not such a super-hero like he was in the sequels and gets help from computer hacker Justin Long (that "Apple guy" in the commercials)--they are a perfect pair. Though the villain, Timothy Olliyphant isn't engaging as Alan Rickman was in the original, there's plenty of knock-out action to compensate. Also the Blu-ray transfer is excellent so definitely get this one for sure.


5/5 A die hard fire sale
  by Ashtar Command (Stockholm, Sweden)
Now, this is a *very* unrealistic movie, don't you think?

Bruce Willis is back (fully clothed this time), and yes, he is impossible to kill. Neither choppers nor fighter planes can take him out. As usual, his adversaries are some kind of German-Russian terrorists. Naturally, a stereotyped nerdie hacker is part of the show, too.

The top bandits lack personality, however. No scarred faces, no foreign accents, very little sociopathology, etc. The Asiatic woman looks like a stale computer animation. A hacker job, perhaps?

This is a fan movie. If you actually liked "Die Hard", where Bruce was running around half-naked in a skyscraper for most of the time, or "Die Hard 2", with that fabulous plane crash, or "Die Hard and Zeus meets Simon Says" when you were 14 years old, you will *love* this one.

If not, you will just say what me and my father said when we watched it the other day on Swedish cabel: "Now, this is a *very* unrealistic movie, don't you think?".

:D

Where's that fire sale, by the way?

5/5 Full five star-cannot give it four point seven
  by FrankV (Pacific NW, USA)
Ongoing action, no cheesy sentimental mid point, excellent story, worth seeing again for the unique stunts. Awesome! Oh, if you work in IT and you are security inclined, arrrgh, step up pounding the drum, this movie makes a point.

4/5 Gives the series a modern facelift!
  by Ben Larkins (Rustburg, VA)
Probably the most rereplayable of the Die Hards, the latest effort in the long running series delivers on exactly what everyone expects: A typical guy movie that contains lots of explosions, lots of action, and a certain trademarked cowboy euphamism. I wouldn't necessarily consider this the best Die Hard movie (Die Hard 3 clearly takes that title) but Live Free Die Hard delivers a modern twist that allows plot lines to become more... explosive and believable. Granted believability really isn't the goal in a Die Hard movie. There is certainly ample occurances where you will have to be quite forgiving in how the movie bends the laws of physics. However, it brings about a decent (and most applicable) plot line, decent acting and lots, and lots of amazing action sequences that leaves you pining for the next step up in your surround system, and only hoping that you can fly a car into a helicopter, and destroy a plane with your bare hands when you are passing into your 50's.



1/5 That wasn't his best one
  by Martin Weckenmann
I really love Bruce Willis and his great action movies such as Last Man Standing. However, I did not like this one because his qoutes were bad, the action just way to explosive, and the story not very challenging. For someone who likes to see exploding buildings and helicopters this movie might be the right one but for someone who wants to see the typical Bruce Willis sense of humor this is not the right choice. Sorry Bruce but your other movies were much more better.
