Is that it!!

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2007)

It's been 12 years since the last Die Hard, and now he is back. What does it bring to the table. Over the top action, some nice one liners, Bruce, and a very good time. As pretty much everyone else I was extremely disappointed over the PG-13 and for a moment I had serious doubts about the film. The only reason I decided to watch it is because after all it's still a Die Hard and a solid entry to the series at that.
The story I think is really not that bad. Better than Die Harder but not as good as 1 and 3. This time around McClane is facing a digital attack on the USA. He's having personal problems with his family, and all he has to do is pick up a kid and drive him down to D.C. But it's just another one of those days and thing are about to get messy.
Len Wiseman I think did a very good job considering he had to go with a lower rating, but he did have a bigger budget and a solid story. He goes over the top quite a few times (the so talked about F-35 scene) but he kept the spirit of previous DH's and you can see he's got a lot of love for the series. Sometimes you can see this is still something newer and not really that 80's action anymore, but it is what it is, and he did a good job.
Bruce Willis again does what he does best. Killing, beating up, and screaming at people. He does it with such style you wanna join him. Anyone who missed seeing him on the big screen won't be disappointed, although the F-bombs aren't dropping.
To sum up it's a solid entry to DH, it's not as good as the first one, but it's one a pair with 2 and 3 with Vengeance being slightly better. If you're looking for a good time this is it. In t he summer of disappointing sequels, Live free or Die hard does what it was set to do and John McClane is back on a high note.
7.7 out of 10
