Review

Die Hard 4.0 was produced from 2005-2006, where special effects started to get very advanced, so that's why this movie is loaded with them. Unlike most of my favourite action films (Police Story, Project A, Super Cop), almost half the movie is CGI and VFX and it still manages to be likeable.

The movie is bombarded with funny dialogue between Matt and McClane, which portrayers both have amazing chemistry together.

While the movie is PG-13, you might expect that to impact some of the action, but the only thing it DID impact was the profanity. 

Many f-bombs and s-words were cut out but put back in for the Unrated Version.

 In Australia, Die Hard 4.0 was released with the PG-13 cut with an M rating, the same as the others in the series (The Australian Classification Board is less strict with regards to language and to a lesser extent, violence). The unrated version was later released on DVD and Blu-ray also with an M rating. The film, notably never released in home media with its theatrical cut, has only been released in Australia as the extended edition. 

But despite what version I watched the film in, it was still good and not a disappointment. The fight scenes are still up to the same standard [and a bit better] then in the first three movies. 

The quality in this movie has seem to gone up. Old Habits of making a mediocre film Died Hard.

And lastly, the important question - Live free or Die Hard?

Die hard.

Review 

Die Hard 3 is the perfect action movie. Okay, so maybe half the movies I've watched are better then this, but Samuel and Bruce make a great duel, and the fight choreography is amazing in the movie. While the movie is not as good as Die Hard and Die Harder, it still has the same feel and even more awesome scenes. Die Hard 3 is a great recommendation, and if you have nothing better to do, then you should probably be watching this movie.

Yippie ki yay, mother----er.

DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER - Will blow you through the ceiling

 Normally, the post titles depend on what version of the film I've watched. The film was released as Die Hard 2 in cinemas and on the movie's title card, but in Australia, we call the film Die Hard 2: Die Harder. So that's why instead of using the correct title, I used Die Hard 2 - Die Harder

Synopsis

In 1990, A year after his heroics in L.A, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is mixed up in another terrorist plot, this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, where he is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). That same night, South American politico and drug profiteer Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) is arriving in U.S. custody. McClane takes action when a treasonous ex-colonel (William Sadler) seizes control of the airport, threatening to crash every inbound flight unless Esperanza is freed.

 

Review 

Hard take but Die Harder is better then Die Hard. Why? Well, this movie is funnier, has better writing, and better fight scenes. Also, the villian's death in this movie is incredible.

Die Hard 2 is a Christmas flick that can be watched at any time of the year. It's great, the villains are better, and the writing in this movie is more genius.

When we cut to Holly on the plane with the old lady and Thornburg, we get countless funny scenes, but also some other serious ones like when they're praying after finding out about the other plane crash.

Constanza does a great job at being the bad protagonist, and Willis' acting is actually better in this one then last time.

Die Hard 2 is a great flick with a great cast and writing, and you should watch it NOW.

My only advice is that if you're on a plane and they have this movie in the film selection, don't watch it. It's probably cut by... 1hr, 55m. (p.s. the film is 1hr, 57m)

Rating: 8/10

Very soon McClane realizes that there's no one to save the hostages -- but him.

 

Review 

Everyone's heard of Die Hard or Bruce Willis or Alan Rickman at least once. This was me for a long time, but then in February of this year after my family finally got a Disney+ subscription, I finally got to watch the movie, and it was amazing.

The main character is actually a believable realistic person who'd you want to be around. Alan Rickman does a great job as being the charming killer (even though he still bad) and Reginald VelJohnson was the funniest part of the movie, and the only reason I mark it as an action-comedy.

Not to mention the epic Yippie Ki Yay catchphrase by McClane. The film might not have any over-the-top stunts (if jumping off a 80 something story building isn't an over the top stunt), but it's a great flick and is a great option to watch, bored or not.

The film has a lot of swearing, a nude magazine, extreme violence and deaths. But what were you expecting from a film named "Die Hard"?
