I don't understand the haters for Live Free or Die Hard... it is the best reviewed of the sequels and I agree with those reviews... by the way, up until A Good Day to Die Hard, Die Hard: With a Vengeance was the worst reviewed and only Die Hard film to be classified as "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes....
I don't agree with that "Rotten" classification, I enjoyed all the Die Hard films.
I was definitely disappointed with parts 3 and 5, but still enjoyed them... I hated how McClane all the sudden was an alcoholic in part 3 (we never saw any indication of a drinking problem before)... but whatever... I looked past the things I didn't like and enjoyed it.
I truly believe that part 5's "badness" was partly the fault of moronic fans who complained of the PG-13 rating of part 4... as if all the fans cared about was the cussing and excessive violence... so in part 5 McClane cussed more and excessively violenced more (did I say that right?) to give it the coveted R-rating those fans wanted... and apparently the film-makers figured that was enough... and I can freely admit that A Good Day to Die Hard was a bad movie, but it was fun, and any time Bruce decides to be John McClane... I'm there....
...just please, if they make another Die Hard, don't let Randall Emmett and George Furla produce the film... they are responsible for Bruce's latter day downfall, with all the direct to video movies they've produced with him.
