Bruce (Not So) Almighty

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2007)

Overblown, effects-laden follow up, as a slightly unlikeable John Mclaine (he hits women and threatens to beat up nerds) takes on geekerzoid terrorists in a bid to save corporate America  kind of ironic considering the only reason this film exists is to line the pockets of Hollywood Execs and a balding star in need of a hit.
It's not so much the plot that's the problem, after all the "Die Hard" movies aren't exactly built on elaborate scenario, but the sheer lack of imagination displayed here (what with movie number three having already been set in a City location) and the vacuous excuse for a script creates a hollow husk of an action flick that resorts to preposterous explosions in a failed bid to hold our attention. These ridiculously absurd set pieces escalate, with the face-off between a F1 Fighter Jet and a Hydraulic Truck being a bridge (or several exploding and collapsing bridges in fact) too far. Give it a rest Bruce.
