Watch the unrated version instead...

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2007)

All though I liked it as an action movie, it didn't feel like Die Hard because of the PG 13 rating.
In the unrated version Mcclane is allowed to say the f-word and gunshot wounds and blood is allowed as well. It makes a big difference, because profanity and violence is as much a part of the Die Hard movies as singing is a part of musicals. Die Hard are not action movies for kids and it was ridiculous and an insult to the fans, to try to get a wider audience by making a TV-version of Die Hard.
Timothy Olyphant is still a lame, not scary villain and had Thomas Gabriel met Hans Gruber, he would have messed up his pants. He can't measure up to Bruce Willis.
But Bruce Willis himself is still the coolest action hero around!!
But some of the bad guys, working for Thomas Gabriel, what language are they speaking and why can't they be Americans like their leader? Is it Len Wiseman's preference for European characters like in his Underworld movies?
But the unrated version is almost as good a Die Hard movie as the previous ones. Let's just hope they can find a scarier villain for the 5th movie and get a pg 18-rating instead.
If you don't live in the US, you have to order the movie online. In Denmark, we got the kiddie-version of Die Hard in the theaters as well as on DVD.
If you have not seen Die Hard 4 yet and you love the old movies, steer clear of the pg 13 version as it is not Die Hard.
I give it 8 out of 10.
