A daily comment from Midget Emma: Die Hard 4.0 (2007)

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2008)

There's only one word that can describe the latest Die Hard movie "Action-Packed". Or is that two words?. Who cares all I'm saying is this installment deserves the Die Hard name. I didn't think it would but it does deserve it's place in the greatest action movie series of all time.
It's been over ten years since the last Die Hard movie and after seeing this John Mclane is still the best action hero. I have seen both the theater version and the uncut version. They are both worthy of a 9 out of 10 but I would see the uncut version. Or see both and make your own choice.
I have seen this getting bad reviews because it has unrealistic action. But I think that suit's the Cyber terrorist theme. It may be the most unrealistic Die Hard but it is still awesome.
Now we come to the actors. Bruce Willis still holds the John McClane role tight and brings back the greatest action hero ever. He still has the great one-liners and still swears (in the uncut version). But he is missing his cigarette and white singlet. Don't worry he is still our great John McClane. When I first looked at the actors for this movie it had Justin Timberlake as John McClane's son. I was like don't do this to me please. But they luckily killed that idea and put Justin Long (the guy from the Mac computers ad) as Matt Farrell. Even then I was like what?. Don't worry he pulls it off very well. He was funny and witty. Then there was a girl villain played by Maggie Q. She was like a ninja or something and she brings us a great fight. You probably already know who it is between.
Now I come to the villain. The big main villain I mean. He is played by Timothy Olyphant. Most know him from Deadwood. He is also playing agent 47 in the movie 'Hitman'. His character Thomas Gabriel seemed to be a bit wimpy. He isn't the worst villain to be in a Die Hard movie but he comes close.
This is a great action flick and is one of the best Die Hard movies.
It goes: Die Hard (10/10) Die Hard 4.0 (Live Free or Die Hard in America) (9/10) Die Hard: With a Vengeance (8/10) Die Hard 2: Die Harder (8/10)
Anyway all the Die Hard movies are must see's and even must owns. I highly recommend this but only if you seen the first three.
