Live hard or die free...or whatever November 1, 2008
The 10 years later sequel to the Die Hard Series gets the whole Bruce Willis as Action Hero thing correct. Lots of crap blows up, plenty of rah-rah guy patriotism, new oddball sidekick, oily villain, and plenty of corny wisecracks from the mouth of John McClane. It's amazingly fast paced and a few of the stunts were wildly inventive (although the main ones are in the trailer). There's even a scene stealing cameo from Kevin Smith, playing the King Warlock of All Hackers.
The plot: Timothy Olyphant as a disgruntled ex-Fed out for revenge (and cash) against an inept Homeland Security that threw him out in disgrace after he kept insisting their computer system could be easily compromised. He secretly recruits a bunch of Uber-Nerds to crack - one by one - different security codes and then eliminates the hackers. Olyphant's Thomas Gabriel then sets about gleefully causing anarchy as the Government is exposed as inept and unprepared. It's up to McClane and Matt, the last surviving Super Nerd (Justin Long), to outwit, outlast and outhack Olyphant and his evil-doers.
That's the good. The bad is the usual hokiness (Olyphant's villain is totally without depth) and the overall implausibility of things (a stealth fighter plane being repeatedly unable to hit its target?). After three movies of not having children, John McClane suddenly has a daughter, Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). She finds herself in the kind of ridiculous sub-plot peril that Elisha Cuthbert would stink up episodes of '24' with. There are a few nit-picky factual errors (there are no Yellow Cabs in DC, for instance), but that is something you'd only know if you were from there.
Overall, "Live Free Or Die Hard" runs its course with more flair than most, due primarily to Willis' memorable go at McClane. To the filmakers' credit, they didn't try to make him young again, which would have been a mistake. Other than the Lucy Subplot, everything stays on course, delivered with just enough suspense and humor to make it an enjoyable, better than average actioner.
 over the top October 11, 2008
so much happens in this movie that its hard to stomach. if you do not have a good sound system or a half way decent televison you might be missing out. the stuff that happens to the main character of course would kill you or I but its a movie and its supposed to be high action so just sit back and enjoy it.
 Great story, good dialogue, but some overdone action scenes October 10, 2008
In the sequel-dominated decade that is Hollywood since 1999's release of The Phantom Menace, it was only a matter of time before Bruce Willis put in another Die Hard flick. This time the bad guys are a collection of international criminals led by an ex-fed genius. The good guys are led by John McClane of the NYPD, his whiz-kid sidekick, and various feds. Like previous die-hard movies, we have lots of shooting, a gorgeous bad babe, some fistfights, and of course several helicopters, instead of just one as in the previous Die Hard movies. The evil chic is played by Maggie Q, though this time we have a lady on the good side, McClane's daughter. Much of the action takes place at night or in dark confines, so watch carefully or you will miss a lot of details. Still, worth the 2 hours to watch it.
It's alright if you like these kind of movies. September 26, 2008
Live Free or Die Hard starring Bruce Willis is the 4th installment in the Die Hard franchise. The last film was 15 years ago and John is still a tough as nails cop. Justin Long is pretty good as well, nice comic relief, always liked him on the t.v. show Ed. The stunts are pretty outrageous (that's a good thing), and the plot is intense, great music as well. I am not a huge fan of action flicks but this one is pretty entertaining, Die Hard 2 is the best in the series but Live Free or Die Hard shall make your aderaline pump profusely, enjoy!
Only buy if you like GREAT action movies! September 25, 2008

One of the things that made/make the Die Hard series so great is that they are GREAT action movies...and this one is an excellent example! I love it when McClane tells the bad guy that his girlfriend is down the elevator shaft with an SUV up her ... It is pure Die Hard dialog! This is a keeper and I am glad I bought the unrated version on DVD so that I could have the famous Yippee Ki Yay line that we all know and love so well. But I must say one of my favorite lines in this movie is when Justin Long is amazed after the helicopter crash and in a dazed voice he tells McClane 'you kill the helicopter with a car' and of course McClane acts like it was nothing but a normal Tuesday for him.
IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST TWO DIE HARDS THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION!
