Die Hard 4.0 or if you rather call it by its name modeled after the New Hampshire license plate "live Free or Die(Hard)", I think Idaho's license plate would have been much more appropriate for this dribble,"Die Hard: Famous Potato's?". Being all this movie is, is a pathetic way attempt to fill movie seats with good ol John Mclane and the Die Hard franchise, while retaining nothing of which made the original movie or sequels appealing, outside of Bruce Willis (very) seldom charm. All the gritty action, and excitement that arose from a down to earth cop whose in over his head has been replaced by a bald superhero engaging in loony tunes type adventure. At one point while driving being chased by a helicopter John intentionally runs over a fire hydrant causing water to fire up from the sidewalk knocking the gunner clean out of the side of the helicopter, it only gets worse from there. Did i mention there's a white super ninja in it too!!! Who runs up walls and jumps across entire streets from rooftop to rooftop are we excited yet!!!! Lastly i'd just like to point out a scene where John is fighting this 90lb karate chick and and getting his ass kicked (dont you love in these cliché movies when 200lb guys who are unstoppable always get beat up by little girls), the girl is all disheveled hair a mess and bruised, BUT right after John gets kicked out a window, they edited in a shot of her from a totally different scene, with her hair neatly tied back and perfect make up, i'm not kidding look for it will probably be the most amusing thing you see in this train wreck of a movie. Which is a good example of what a mess this movie is, and just inexcusable in a big budget movie like this. Do yourself a favor and just go watch the original again.
