Great for what it is.

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2007)

Live Free Or Die Hard is your enjoyable red blooded American action flick. You go and the entire time your thinking two things. One thought is "No, absolutely not this is ridiculous." but at the same time your thinking "Yea, alright this is awesome!" Those two thoughts are kind of like the Yin and Yang of action movies. You can't have one but not the other unless your some critical snob who can't enjoy a movie for what it is. Basically you have to keep in mind one other thought and that is that this is Die Hard. This is going to be a mix of explosions, blood, incredible leaps, guns and more explosions. You can't expect John McClane to slow down, you can't expect him to jump from that plane or car and die.
All in all as far as movies go, no its not a great movie, but as far as action movies go and with the right mindset yes this movie is enjoyable and worth your time. You goto this movie and you want explosions, you want absolutely ridiculous actions and events. If you go thinking "I want limited amounts of ammo and jumps of no more than 6 feet ." you are going to give this movie a 2 or whatever. Give props where props are deserved and thats within the 90 would jumps ending in a massive explosions.
To sum everything up Die Hard 4 is a quality ACTION movie. It's funny if you have a laid back mind set. Goto the the theaters, sit in the first few rows and enjoy movie
