Die Hard

Thoughts?

 

Personally, I love the Die Hard films... but one thing I used to like was the scale of it all. It was just one man against a gang of... "baddies", but on a smallish scale. Where as this one seems so much bigger and... well, I dunno. There's a freakin' jet plane. You know?

It doesn't seem as witty as the previous ones, and it looks like Bruce has forgotten how to play McLain in the same dry way.

 

But, that action looks good so I'll keep my eyes open.

 

Think there was a thread for this a while ago but this trailer's new so whatever...

To me, it doesn't look at all like a Die Hard film. Although that trailer was pretty hard to judge, quite generic I thought.

 

"action, show off da cgi!! Start off silent and then add some epic music til the end. Have a funny, cheesy one liner or two, and then end it abruptly."

I agree with that. It's directed by Len Wiseman who did the Underworld movies with Kate Beckinsale. They weren't so good.

Doesnt John shoot down a massive jet plane in the second film?

 

He lights fuel, which goes to the fuel tank and big badda boom happens.

 

I love the die hard films, always have ever since i was about 6. Die hard with a vengeance used to be my favorite just for jeremy irons evil mofo, and the puzzle aspect. Now i think the first one is the best.

 

I will have to go see this film. I love Bruce Willis in these traditional action roles.

 

Digression: Rambo looks god damn awesome!!! Sly's horrible aged looks suit Rambo a lot better than Rocky *puke* and at least with Rambo he don't talk so much!

Yeah Rambo looks awesome, looks like its gonna capture the essence of the original nicely. And I LOVED rocky balboa, so Im likely to like this ^

 

Die Hard 1 - 10/10

Die Hard 2 - 9/10

Die Hard 3 - 8/10

 

in my books.

 

That's slightly off IMO, so I'll give you mine.

 

Die Hard 1: 8/10

Die Hard 2: 6/10

Die Hard 3: 9/10.

 

I thought the 3rd was the best tbh. Although the original is my favourite Christmas movie of all time :D.

I think some channel is planning to air parts 1-3 in a row this weekend over here to celebrate the 4th movie. I should propably watch the third one since I really don´t remember anything about it...

 

Oh and I´m amazed how (pretty much the only) Finnish Hollywood director Renny Harlin did such a good job with DH2 (I liked it) but for the last decade or so he has been doing nothing but generic crap. :hmm:

that trailer didn't look that great tbh. The music ruined it aswell.

 

I'll still go and see this because I loved the 3rd one. But I think this may end up to be a dissapointment, though I may be wrong. I usually am.

I remember back in middle school a friend had a (legendary) porn movie recorded on a VHS and the label said Die Hard. Very fitting.

 

Also, I don't remember the movies very well, I remember enjoying them, but not being a huge fan.

Hmmm, they seem to have turned McClane into an all out indestructable action hero hired to stop terrorists, which is a bit disappointing as the reason I love the Die Hard series so much is that he's just an ordinary guy who always happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, but still save the day. They also seem to have taken his indestructability to a whole new extreme level. Still, witty on liners, explosions, car chases, I can't see how it can fail to be entertaining.
