Thumbs up Die Hard 4.0

Also known as Live Free or Die Hard

Starring:
Bruce Willis
Timothy Olyphant (The Girl Next Door)
Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers)

This is the latest Die hard movie to be released in some time where we see an older John McClane but with less hair.
Trying to modernise somewhat, the plot of Die Hard this time around is a bunch of "virtual terrorists" hacking many US computer systems and taking over.
The start of the movie seems fairly regular for a die hard movie, gearing up towards meeting certain characters and also seeing what seems to be all thats left of Johns family that still give him a hard time. His daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).

It's from here on that the film starts to kick off with some action. Its something that I was hoping for in die hard and I got it.
The explosions are so dramatic that you are left with your mouth wide open.
Some of the stunts that leave McClane literally in bits make you open your eyes in amazement.

I liked this film alot but after a period of time I found the movie to be a bit too long, the story felt like there was another corner to turn before we would see some conclusion. Still there was action to be had. Many of the stunts are very unreal but cool

All in all, it did seem like the film was focusing on the computer age we are moving into and that most things in due time could be taken over by terrorists, but you would still have to give McClane a translation book for he wouldnt understand.

In conclusion, I liked this film for its action and for its many jokes and humor inbetween.
This is a film I would say you should see.

I agree, a little too long in spots but all the same very good. I think I've only ever seen the first Die Hard movie but I did enjoy this one. Plus what can I say? Bruce is looking rather good for a man of his age!!
Just try not to be sitting in the first two rows of the cinema
