Die Hard 3 Sucks

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2012)

DIE HARD 3 is nothing more than an over budgeted cash grab.
DIE HARD and DIE HARD 2 had the advantage of being pure popcorn movies-something that Mr. and Mrs. America could go see without having to expend too much brain power.
My rule for multi-sequels is simple. Anytime another franchise movie comes out, it HAS to come out within 3 years of everything else.
DIE HARD was 1988. DIE HARD 2 was 1990. Not too much time to get "bored" if you take my meaning.
But DIE HARD 3 came out 5 years AFTER DIE HARD 2, and you CAN lose "the feel" after such a long period between movies.
(MAYBE SPOILER)
I objected mostly to the scene when McClane is compelled to wear a sign, in Harlem, that has a most distasteful message printed on it.
This was the first sign ( no pun intended ) that this movie wasn't going to be "fun". After that, it just gets worse.
Sorry Jeremy Irons, but Pee-Wee Herman would have been a better bad guy than you. Not to mention this "brother crap" which has been done to death.
The cinematography was flatter than a three day old beer.No depth, no artistry, no *nothing*. Too bad that Jan Debont wasn't available, but then again, he had already moved on to better things.
The "Script" left little room for Willis' normal brand of "Ad-libs" and even when it did, even Willis seemed to be tired of the whole bit.
Sample line( rough quote ) "What is this, a triple A rental?" Ha.....ha.......*ha*.....NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Really 20th, you should invest more in scripts and less than "hyperbole" And now ANOTHER DIE HARD MOVIE???????? Count me the "yipppe Ki-yayyyyy mother f****r OUT!!!
