March 9, 2012Over-the-top action with our favorite action hero, John McClane. It's been dumbed down to a lower Parental Guidance rating to attract more viewers but the action is even more intense. An entertaining movie but has one of the worst plotlines within the entire Die Hard franchise.

February 9, 2012This is hopefully the last Die Hard as its not too great, as usual its been made for the mass audience (teens and kids) so everybody can go and unfortunately its lost its hard adult edge. Willis is still cool and Long is actually quite good and funny, Olyphant as the baddie is al... read more

January 31, 2012I didn't really like this simply down to the fact that it had been modernised. Yeah it was good but it's not what the series was about.

Matt Farrell: Matt Farrell.

Matt Farrell: I thought your name was Gennero. Lucy Gennero?
Lucy McClane: Not today.
Action-packed! When I heard that Die Hard 4.0 would be PG-13 I had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprise... read more -

November 8, 2011Bruce Willis returns as the one man counter-terrorist unit, this time taking on an ex-government agent bent on sinking the US infrastructure into chaos while making a few billion on the side. The basis of the plot is the classic "computer geek+laptop=total control over everything... read more

August 14, 2011The action here was excellent. Though often hardly believable, it's no Michael Bay crap (it'd need another 20 minutes of throwaway of filler for that). You actually care about the characters and can't help but be entertained by such dynamic scenes.

July 12, 2011fb535316333For a FOURTH sequel of an early 90's (late 80's) action flick, LFoDH works. It's entertaining, the plot is "big" but relevant, the action is non-stop jaw dropping, the characters are... well, they HAVE character (but boy do I hate Justin Long)
In the end it's an action packed ex... read more -
June 17, 2011The Die Hard series was never about plot, or character development, or anything else really. It was about 3 things, badass Bruce Willis, screwed terrorists, and some of the best action and explosions ever. We are given that in this movie, but wait... We are also given a plot, ... read more

An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety. That said, it also makes you nostalgic for the days when irresponsible action movies didn't have to deal with it. Full Review

What's the fourth "Die Hard" called? I keep forgetting. "Die Hard: With a Pension"? "Die Hardened Arteries"? "Die Laughing"? Full Review

Movie characters like McClane are the Paul Bunyans and John Henrys and Pecos Bills of our age, the stuff of tall tales spun with the technology of an age whose campfires are found in multiplexes with ... Full Review

Willis should not be the victim of facile stereotyping. He brings more heart and humor to apocalyptic pulp fiction than any other actor I can think of offhand. Full Review

Terrific entertainment, and startlingly shrewd in the bargain, a combination of minimalist performances -- interestingly minimalist -- and maximalist stunts that make you laugh, as you gape, at their ... Full Review

Easily the best in the series since the first one. Full Review

The real intrigue has to do with whether McClane -- 'a Timex watch in a digital age,' per the lead baddie (Timothy Olyphant) -- can log in to 2007. Full Review

Willis' John McClane, with that sly, sideways smile, is like an old acquaintance you don't mind running into. He may be older and balder, but he's none the worse for the wear. And he can still take a ... Full Review
