Best action film of the 21st century.

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2007)

This film definitely exceeded my expectations. Which is saying a LOT considering I was really pumped for it. Even though most of the best scenes were used in the trailer, it still never failed to deliver. John McClane paired with a computer nerd/hacker is genius. He was always the type that never liked nor understood technology. He really knows how to beat the bad guys the only way it works, the "analog" way. While almost 2 decades later he still has the same vulgar attitude we all know and love.
Now, some people have said things like "there were too many plot holes" or "the glass 'magically' reappeared". It's a Die Hard movie. It's not about the continuity, or the plot. It's about the action and how much a man can take before he gives up. Which seems like never in John McClane's book.
The only thing that brings my rating down a notch is the sloppy editing to make this PG-13. You can point out every part of the film that has "excessive profanity" edited from it. Especially when frames start to jump back and forth. Though it doesn't take too much away from the overall experience, it's the only problem which doesn't make it on par with Die Hard. Though the part that we've all been waiting for ended up satisfying my needs. It's up to you whether you consider the tag-line to be cut short or not. It's really that close.
This film is without a doubt, the best action flick to grace the silver screen for 19 years. And perhaps with an unrated DVD release, it could be even more.
John McClane, welcome the f*** back. We missed you.
