Believe me, I would've by now if the response had been positive, but I stayed far away after the initial reaction from fans and critics. Die Hard is my favorite action movie of all time and I like 2 and 3 just fine. 4 I didn't really care for that much but it was worth seeing at least. It didn't feel much like a Die Hard film to me. So should I even check this out or just pretend it didn't happen?
shareMight as well watch it. You watched the other 4. Your probably not gonna like it, but hey.. maybe you'll like it better than Live Free. Ya never know.
shareIf you have any love for the franchise at all, pretend this worthless POS doesn't exist and never, EVER watch it. Trust me on this.
I am not the kind of person that spits on sequels just because they weren't as good as the original. I enjoy watching sequels like the 2nd and 3rd Jurassic Park movies, all the Lethal Weapon movies, etc. None of the sequels in those collections live up to the original, but they are still very enjoyable to watch and none of them could honestly be called "terrible" movies.
A Good Day to Die Hard, on the other hand, is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is without a doubt the worst big budget action movie I've ever seen. Never in my entire life have I stopped watching a movie I started without finishing it first- until I watched this turd for the first time. I actually started watching the movie and turned it off about an hour in because I realized that at only an hour and a half long it was quite literally impossible for the movie to redeem itself with only 30 minutes left. Two days later I turned it back on while I was eating pizza...and I ended up turning it off again before it ended because I was so pi$$ed at what they had done to the franchise with this abomination. I've never finished the movie, and I have no intention to. There is no need to finish it because there was no plot whatsoever. It is quite literally an hour and a half of the shell of John McClane running around with his son (who the writers gave us no reason whatsoever to care about) shooting and blowing things up. And the worst part is that the action scenes are so boring and unrealistic that it's not even worth watching for the explosions.
Believe me when I say that as a huge fan of the series who has seen the first 3 movies dozens of times EACH, that I wholeheartedly regret watching this movie. This POS makes the 4th Die Hard look as good as the first. Perhaps that is truly the only reason to watch Die Hard 5- it will honestly make you appreciate Die Hard 4.
Yeah, I've come to accept that sequels just never live up to the original, unless by some miracle, as I've gotten older. But I won't stand up for a sequel that's a slap in the face to the original (Speed 2, Jaws: The Revenge). I know plenty of those. I do think some sequels stand on their own pretty well though. And I dunno if this is relevant to anything but I think Hostage is a good movie and it polarized audiences so maybe I would like this, lol.
shareA Good Day To Die Hard is definitely a good time if your drunk. The 10 minute Truck chase is so much fun to watch. I laughed quite a bit.
shareThis movie was horrible if it weren't for some recognizable actors (not Bruce) I would have completely turned it off after the first 30 minutes. Anyway I'm I'm past the 50 minute mark on the film and would rather browse the imdb boards then watch this P.O.S also the way the bad guys get killed is so stupid.
shareYeah it's definitely the best one so far. Loads of action and the bluray 7.1 is amazing.
shareHonestly, I wouldn't pay to see it. If you could catch it for free on cable and there's nothing else on... maybe put it on for background noise and cheap kicks from some of the action-scenes, but that's about all I'd recommend it for.
To me, it's right up there among the most disappointing sequels I've ever seen. I honestly thought it was atrocious, and that's saying quite bit, as I'm usually a lot more lenient on films than others.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
it should be on tv by now, don't pay a pennie, not even a megabite.
