The Fourth: A Decent Sequel

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2014)

At times one must look past the first installment to see the positives of a franchise, especially if there is a nineteen year gap. One must look past the old positives and negatives and form a new opinion based on the material presented. With that said, the fourth installment of the Die Hard franchise is a very decent film taking the viewer on a crazy action ride. Bruce Willis is still going at it, and for some reason he can never avoid terrorists, ever. This time the villain is a computer genius who wants revenge against the United States after being ignored. No, it is not the best plot of all time, but it makes up for that by having nonstop action and likable characters, which includes Justin Long, who fits his part well as the not very sharp computer kid. All in all it is an enjoyable flick with positives and negatives. It is worth a watch if you still enjoy extreme action and the computer subject matter that is involved.
