In McClane We Trust! Die Hard is back...

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2007)

...And this time it is better than ever. It has been awhile since the last installment of John McClane's life (DH: With A Vengeance), and I was so excited to hear that a fourth entry in the series was going to be made. Well folks, it has arrived and it will make those die hard Die Hard fans say Yippee Ki Yay all over again! I'm sure if you've visited the IMDb forums for this Die Hard, you probably know what the film is already about. So, I'm just going to skip that part.
I'm writing this to say that this installment stands up to the legacy that is the Die Hard movies. Sure, we aren't looking at the same John McClane (Portrayed by the always awesome Bruce Willis) that we saw back at Nakatomi and Dulles, but hey, characters, just like people, always change, and they aren't going to be like they were. But McClane is still enjoyable, knocking out the baddies and dropping some awesome one-liners. Plus, you can't forget his snickers after something explodes.
Justin Long works as McClane's sidekick! I thought he did a very excellent job, and he made the film work. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is wonderful as Lucy McClane. You can clearly tell that she is a McClane child. Timothy Olyphant is a great villain, although I still rank Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) ahead. I put him on the same level as Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons) from DH: With A Vengeance.
The computer attack on America works well. It makes the plot interesting. And this installment delivers plenty of action! From car crashed, explosions, and various hand to hand combat, this is what makes this one of the best Die Hard movies ever. I put it right behind the original and above the other sequels. Also, the supporting cast is awesome and I loved everybody's acting.
And for you PG-13 rating haters, believe me when I say this, it doesn't bother or ruin the film in any way. Please people, don't bash a film before you see it, give it a chance. It will be worth it.
So, once again, Die Hard is back and better than ever. Bruce is still that same lovable and enjoyable John McClane that we all know. He may not be exactly like he was in Nakatomi Plaza, but he still as awesome. So, Die Hard fans, go see it and relive some great memories, and action movie fans or any moviegoers, go see it, you'll become a Die Hard fan as well. Thank you for reading and remember, Yippee Ki Yay! Live Free or Die Hard is now playing in theaters everywhere and it rated PG-13.
