A disappointment.
The first 3 Die Hards were about out-witting the opponent, mixed in with some special fx, one-liners, and an actual feeling that there was an imminent threat.
Live Free or Die Hard feels like a retread. First the lens is tinted which gives the film a cheap look. Then we have an action sequence straight out of True Lies, and a bridge collapsing that looked far better in War of the Worlds.
LFODH just feels like a typical sub-par popcorn flick (think Fantastic Four, the later X-Men movies), and definitely not even close to as good as the first 3, which I loved.
And Justin Long was great. If it wasn't for him providing the odd laugh, I might have cried to how far this franchise has fallen.
