Man, what a letdown. I love the series, but this just wasn't "Die Hard". From the shortened running time, to the February release, it just screamed 'disaster'. I've always felt the John McClane and the franchise as being very American, so it didn't work for me not being in America. The whole movie just did not feel like the series at all. |

Not as good as the first four, or first three at least, but I do think this is pretty underrated. I like that McClane teams with his son, but I would've prefered the daughter have a bigger role. I hope there is a part 6, because I want to see the whole family together. So I hope Bonnie Bedelia comes back, too.

Pointless garbage. I LOVE the Die Hard films (though I'm not a "fan) and this just sucked. I did like some of the action scenes cause they were well shot but this was the biggest disappointment. 3/10 |

Frankly this is one of the most impressive and enjoyable entries in the franchise as there's a slew of exciting, thrilling parts to this one. As is usual for the series, this one features such a high amount of quality action scenes that it's virtually impossible not to find exciting in here, from the kidnapping rescue at the courthouse to the ambush on the safe-house which features a blazing shootout alongside some nice stunts in escaping as well as the incredibly fun encounter in the restaurant that again manages to mix stunts with action and shootouts into a rousing, high-energy affair that works magnificently here. Of course, this is without taking into account the film's two biggest and best action scenes, a car chase through downtown Moscow following the initial courthouse escape that ranks up with some of the best overall action scenes in the franchise by virtue of the absolutely hilarious mid-sequence break of him taking a phone call in the middle of driving an armored car over the congested traffic gathered in addition to all the usual dodging and weaving that goes into one of these and the finale which is the usually over-the-top explosion-happy, bullet-riddled extravaganza that finishes these types of films with all the villains getting blown up or shot in fantastic stunt scenes that resorts a little too heavily on CGI but still comes off rather well. This all makes for a breakneck pace and rather impressive sense of style here with this never really getting to boring with all the action and appropriate levels of humor throughout here as long as you don't try to think about the plot that much. It's pretty clever but does come off as overblown in terms of how to get there, taking a long time to get all it's tangents out in the open and really spell out it's true intention. Still, that's about the only thing really wrong with this one. |

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/ | |

Oh wow. I have no idea the hell I was thinking then. Unless the other films made way more than that. |

Nah, they didn't as far as I know. The previous film made like $70 million more than this did but I still think this made more than the rest of them. I still need to see most of these, I think I've only seen bits of the first and all of Live Free Or Die Hard |

Eeek at the previous one making 70 million more. I wonder if they're going to try another. Mary Elizabeth Weinstead was in one of 'em

Well the fourth als cost $18,000,000+ more to make than this one did and I heard more about that one pre-release than this one so they probably spent more on marketing as well, so you might as well say that Live Free Or Die Hard only made $25,000,000 or so more than this one did.
