I liked this film a lot. I thought the acting was above average the action was great(trademark Die Hard explosions are still awesome), I loved everything except the typical "I kidnapped your daughter" plot. I think that concept is a bit overused in films. But the core story is fairly original. It keeps it's humor intact while balancing some pretty hardcore deaths. Overall this movie is a B+ in my book. A must-see if you're an action fan.

Jules: Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.
It is on my MUST SEE list, but there is one thing that troubles me, he can't say his famous catchphrase, can he? PG-13 means no blood, brief nudity, the f-word can only be used once & it can't be in a sexual way. Motherf*cker is sexual, ain't it? So, I'm wondering how they get away with it, or if they even let him come close. In the commercials they let him get to: "Yippi-ki-yay, Mo--" Is that where it ends in the movie, too? Stupid studios trying to appeal to kids ! What kid has watched the first 3? And if they have seen them, then we didn't need to bring this one down to PG-13 at all! They've already seen & heard the worst of it!

Sure, I might offend a few of the blue-noses with my cocky stride and musky odor - oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about what's to be done with this Monkey_Boy?!"

i also thought that was incredibly stupid, I hate that soooo much when a movie is known for its R rating then it turns PG-13, (Alien Vs. Predator anyone?), I think he did say his line but it was so muffled because of the move ment and gunshot, I'll go see it again

It was solid entertainment. The last 30 minutes (or so) could've easily been trimmed by five or six minutes (yeah, so sue me), and nothing would've been sacrificed. Justin Long was a great sidekick for McClane's technophobia.
Well, its extremely rare that I celebrate a movie primarily for its action sequences, but this Die Hard had me sucked in totally, ignoring the bad script, and cliched situations.
If ya like stunts...go see it immediately.

Was anyone bothered when Gabriel made the call to the fighter jet and the pilot started taking out bridges to get the semi? I mean, the pilot wasn't a villain, he was supposed to be helping McClane and he was fooled by the villain, but he did a great impression of one by not caring a lick for the lives of the people in the cars on the bridges he was destroying! It was insane and took me out of the movie for a moment because I was completely confused as to WHY a United States Air Force pilot would do this! I discussed this with my good friend and he came to the conclusion that the pilot was in the mindset that he HAD to take out this threat by any means necessary. Do any of you agree with him or were you able to just ignore this?
I enjoyed the movie (It's Bruce friggin' Willis!), but this ONE scene just bothers the crap outta me in spite of the fact that it was awesome to watch. It was a kinda close-up of the flipped bridge sequence in "War of the Worlds"! (I have to rewind that part several times! ) However, it made sense that the aliens wouldn't care about the people on the bridge.

The pilot's last name was Bush, if that helps understanding his actions.
