#4, Live Free or Die Hard: 3 Stars.
It’s 2007 and teh drEeded internets hackerz will take down the U.S.’s infrastructure. Oh noes! Whatever shall we do? Well duh, call in John McClane to nab one of these guys (perfectly played by Justin “I’m a Mac” Long) and keep him alive long enough to Solve The Puzzles and Get the Bad Guys. And make wisecracks all the while. Lots of fun, some plot holes, and actionActionACTION! Muddled bad guy motivation and some unbelievable stunts (e.g.: the CGI of Bruce Willis wing-walking an F-35 looked more like a video game than a stunt) keep this flick from rating more than 3 stars. For all the problems though, I was 100% entertained, so the 3 stars are well-earned. See it.
Will there be a #5? I doubt it, and kind of hope not. But you never can tell, the series has held up so far. Um, maybe “Die Hard on an NYC Cop Pension”? Anyone? No.
