Blown away...

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2009)

Even though I've watched all the movies at least five or six times(including this one) I still don't consider myself a Die Hard fan. Furst movie was great, a true classic, Die Hard 2 is pathetic as a sequel(did they really expect us to believe that John Mcclane just happens to stumble on to pretty much the same situation, identical to Nakatomi Plaza?) The third is my personal favourite, it had the least to do with the first two(no Christmas, John isn't trapped in a building with vents and etc.) and that makes sense, because the point of these movies is to show just how hard John Mcclane can die. The third, by my opinion, was the best of the Die Hard series. Until now. Until Die Hard 4.0. John Mcclane never dies. Willis, of course, is superb in the role, that he was probably born for - like Harrison Ford was born for Indiana Jones. We've got jokes, we've got "Yippee ki-yay, ***********", and we've got one of the most brutal dyeing's in the series - he fall's off cars, fighters, buildings, get's shot, kicked and punched and it's all so dynamic, that at the final scenes I was surprised to see just how much Mcclane got his ass kicked in this movie. Still, it's nothing compared to the amount of butts he gets to kick. We've got cyberterrorism on the loose in the USA, with a villain so cunning and devious, you could put a tale on him and call him a weasel. Throw in a Asian chick, who likes to kick people, a rather annoying young hacker, some helicopters, an F-35 strike fighter, John Macclane, his daughter and a "Yippee ki-yay, ***********", and you get Die Hard 4.0 - don't miss it!
