2nd best in this franchise so far

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2013)

This is the 2nd best installment in this franchise so far, unless "Die Hard 6" pulls something out of this world. It's exciting and fast paced all around. Sure it's probably the most implausible "Die Hard" movie out of all of them which is saying something. But the thing is, it's still entertaining. And it didn't get to the point where it got annoying or irritating to watch and that includes the random coincidences throughout this flick. Bruce Willis is back as John McClane and he still has all that characteristics John McClane. Who is this tough smartass that taunts his enemies no matter what situation he is in and is a badass while doing what he does best. And this time around he has a real partner, not really a sidekick but a partner. Who goes by the name of Zeus Carver and is played by Samuel L. Jackson. Who is a black version of McClane but isn't as physical but still more patient and to a degree more intellectual. And he is a badass as well. And it was cool to see them go around New York City "Grand Theft Auto" style trying to save innocent civilians from bombs and take down the bad guys. The main villain this time is Simon(Jeremy Irons) and he is just great in this role. In fact he is probably the 2nd best villain so far in this franchise. He is like the The Riddler from BTAS and Bane from "The Dark Knight Rises". Well not the complete package from both of those villains but a little of both. In fact it would have been cool if the ending went in a different direction. The way one of the writers decided to end the movie. So maybe they could have picked it back up in "Die Hard 5". This is directed by the same director that directed the first "Die Hard" which is why a lot of the elements that made the first "Die Hard" awesome is still intact. Overall if your a action movie fan this is a one that is really worth seeing.
