Live Free or Die Hard - Please Use Spoiler Tags
 

Yippie-kay-yay, Motherf***er!

He's back, John McClane is back. This is undoubtedly one of the best news I have gotten in the past few weeks. It's Bruce Willis going up against the whole world once more. How much better could it get?

And to prove that it's really, really happening, here's the trailer:

"Have you done this before?"

And no matter how bad everyone says this will suck, I will be in cinemas on opening day.

YES! For some reason, good action movies like the Die Hard series are hard to find lately. Let's just hope the guy from the Mac commercials doesn't bring the movie down.

Awesome. I'm there.

Here's hoping Samuel L. Jackson makes a cameo as Zeus.:P

Die Hard is one of my favorite Christmas movies.

The trailer looked pretty cool in hi-def at the movies. I'm definitely going to see it as well. Bruce Willis is just too cool not to.

Seeing this for realz! Day one, probably with my mom, who loves Die Hard.

Trailer doesn't impress me, but it's Die Hard, so it should be good.

Why would anyone say this will suck? Die Hard is awesome!

Because there's always people who say it'll suck. You know, fanboys with issues and arguments like "It isn't what we're used to so it sucks" and the like.

But I'll be damned if I miss that.

I think Anarky is referring to 'sequel animosity'. When film series are thought concluded for more than 5 years, and come out with a new sequel seemingly out of nowhere, it's often treated harshly by movie-buffs who disregard it as just an excuse to cash in on what was already a satisfactory run. IMO, that's absurd logic. But, when they do stuff like that, and the new film turns out to be a poor comparison to its predecessors or just a bad movie in general, I wouldn't be happy either. But, there's no apparent reason to think that this will be disappointing at all. I'm not a Die Hard fan (though I wish I could say that pun was intentional) and have only seen bits and pieces of the first two, but the trailer here looks exactly like what I would expect from a Die Hard movie. So, yeah, I'm going to see it.

Turns out I went to see it before opening day, seeing as the movie opens in cinemas over here tomorrow. And this is what I have to say about it:

Every second of this film is made of pure awesomeness.

Go see it.

Bruce claims it's better than the first one.

I want to believe.

The first one's just a classic, and the third one had the best score of them all. But in terms of action, this certainly is the best one. There's nothing that doesn't blow up. It's fantastic.

Sold!

Thanks.

WOOHOOO!

Looks like one heck of a ride!


Only thing is, it doesn't look very christmasy.

Well, neither was With a Vengeance.

I'm a bit skeptical about this movie since I'm very underwhelmed by what I've seen from the trailers, and I really have trouble imagining a PG-13 Die Hard movie. However, reviews and word of mouth so far have been really positive, so maybe there is hope after all. I'm probably going to see it sometime this week.

Also, why is is called Die Hard 4.0 in Europe? I thought Live Free or Die Hard was a cool title. o_O

I figure that people won't get the "Live Free Or Die" reference which is a motto of some US-state (cue random resident of said state going "[Statename] Represent! Whoohooo!") And as for the "4.0," you'll know why when you see it. I'll just say that it's not very christmasy because it takes place on July 4th.

Besides, the trailers have rightfully been underwhelming. Do you really want to see the best scenes of a movie in the trailer already? The real deal is so much more awesome, it's unreal.

You see sir, whenever you want me to go see something, those are the magic words. Sold!

Still waiting on one of my friends to bring me. It's only playing at midnight locally. :cry: I'd have seen it twice by now if it was playing during the day. :x
