The Live Free or Die Hard thread- Out Now!

[quote name='Vega$']I'm not real hype about this one , but it looks alright. The title is starting to tick me off a bit. Live free or die hard ugh. Just called it die hard 4 and thats it.[/QUOTE]
uh.........

Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Die Hard With A Vengeance





they're just keeping w/ tradition
 
Die hard 2 was called Die Harder? I never knew that, i just called it die hard 2.
And die hard with a vengeance sounds awesome and to me the best die hard ever.

But live free or die hard sounds silly.
 
I saw a midnight show and loved it. He definetly should have showed a little more age like he did in Vengence, but it was a fun action movie. It kinda had a very different feel to it. Especially 1 and 2. It was just so over the top though that it was alot of fun. I can definelty see a Yipee Ki Yay edition of the movie though.
 
F bomb was never said in its entirety.. you'll understand towards the end.

Saw it.. LOVED IT! I think it may have edged out With A Vengeance as my favorite Die Hard movie. I may see it again this weekend.. AWESOME movie!!! Doesn't suffer from sequel-itis, actually felt like a Die Hard movie.. it was great. Two thumbs up.
 
;) Plot synopsis:

In the past few years, aging police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) has spent his time in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous and is divorced from his wife. He is no longer employed by the police department, but has found a position with the United States Department of Homeland Security chasing dangerous computer hackers. On his way to turn a young hacker named Matt Foster (Justin Long) into custody, he experiences a modern version of a terrorist attack first hand when he gets stuck in traffic. A group of hackers, headed by Greg Pope (Timothy Olyphant), have struck at the vulnerable United States computer infrastructure and are systematically shutting it down, beginning with the traffic light system. As they move on to crash banking networks and the stock market, the indices plummet and America's economy becomes crippled. As usual, McClane gets caught up in the middle of the excitement. It turns out that the recently captured Matt seems bright enough to understand exactly what the terrorists are doing and what steps they are taking to achieve their mission. The sophisticated criminals have a nearly foolproof plan to bring the country to a halt, but they didn't count on an old-school cop and his computer-smart buddy to figure things out. Soon, the crime-fighting duo of McClane and Foster are pulling out all the stops and matching wits with the terrorists, hoping to figure out the motives behind their actions and to stop them before the entire nation collapses.


Holy Christ, what happened to at least keeping the plot barely believable?

I mean, come on! How the hell will anyone believe that the Apple guy is a hacker?!? Uhm, he's the APPLE GUY, hello?!? Hackers always use Windows PCs...;)

And judging from the trailers, they've got John Maclane teaming up with Optimus Prime while being attacked by Starscream and Blackout, I mean, what the hell?!? What is Starscream, Blackout, and Optimus doing in this movie?!? And I think he even uses the evil Decepticon cop car in the movie - IT MAKES NO SENSE, DAMN IT!!!
 
[quote name='Apossum']WHAT THE fuck. THAT'S THE WORST TITLE EVER. :rofl: Does the movie take place in New Hampshire? Final fight scene on top of the old man of the mountain? Please let it be true.[/quote]

HAHAHA I was thinking it was going to be a shot for shot copy of the final battle in Metal Gear Solid 2...

"MacLane...I am your father/DNA donor...Solidus MacLane..."

John: "So now you're saying I'm a clone?!? Well Yippy Kiy YAY POPO MOFO!!!"

[quote name='humidore']I loves my Die Hard, but yea...the balls seem to definitely be missing on this so far. That Mac commercial dude is suspect number 1 for me. Then this PG-13 bullshit. And why the fuck isn't McClane in a wife beater?[/quote]

It's too cold, and his pecs are saggy. Plus the afformentioned liver spots and vericose veins and whatnot.

And they're just setting the Apple dude up to take over the franchise. Die Hard 5 is going to be Die hard Jr. - where this kid and MacLane's daughter are on the rocks but have to get together with Scooby and the rest of the gang to stop the evil Mr. Shmedly from taking over the lollipop factory with his army of ninja terrorists that just prance around looking menacing.

They're grooming the Apple Dude to be the next big emo and teenybopper hero - scrawny yet scrappy. Hell, look at all the clones out there already - his twin brother Jake Gyllenhal, Tobey, Shae Lebaoufwhatever...all these newcomers are in the scrawny but cute white boy emo phase. Then in 5-10 years they're going to have their breakout manly role where they show up all buffed out, like Damon, Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Scott Speedman and the rest did 5 years ago, as did previous brat packs.

And where the hell is Holly Gennaro MacLane...damn she was HAWT in 1 and 2.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']A review mentions some sort of a cameo. Can someone spoil that for me?[/QUOTE]
Kevin Smith?
 
[quote name='sarausagi']His daughter in this movie IS a hottie

Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Ah..she's so pretty..I love her! I bought Final Destination 3 just to see her in it! She's SOOOOOO Pretty!~![/quote]

Yeah but she's not as cute and cuddly as little Missy MacLane in Die Hard and her little puppy dog eyes saying "come home" to Dick Thornburg. Remember that shiznit? Poor Consuela was getting sweated by Dick "you let me talk those kids or I'm calling INS"...

And I'm guessing there will be a lot of "NINJA" and "SHAQ-FU" used in place of f bombs and whatnot...
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']I dunno, I'm looking past the plot because I remember back to the first one. Despite a pretty boring plot concept (terrorists take over office building) it was still an awesome movie.[/quote]

Pretty boring plot concept? Maybe in today's world, but back then it was the BOMB. Nothing boring or unoriginal about it. This was almost 20 years ago...a whole different world back then.

I worked a few years in Fox Plaza aka "Nakatomi Tower" and I was always secretly wishing to live out the movie.
 
LOVED THIS MOVIE

Didn't read the thread, but loved it.

You little asian bitch friend? Last time I saw her was somewhere down an elevator shaft with an SUV shoved up her ass"

Whatever the true quote was, friggin loved it.

"You tombstone should read "Always in the wrong place at the wrong time"...how bout "Yipee-Ki-Yay-Mother-fucker"!!*boom*
awmg loved it
 
[quote name='zewone']Die Hard With A Vengeance is the best one.[/quote]

LIES LIES LIES.

None are worthy of the original. NONE. Though 2 and 3 are very entertaining and enjoyable nonetheless.

A Die Hard Die Hard fan I see..........
 
Saw some previews of this. Even though it pisses me off that it's PG-13, the action looks OFF THE CHART!!! Definitely going to see it.
 
Okay I have officially succumbed. I've got the gang together and I've reserved 8 seats at the Bridge in LA...we're going to see this bad boy tonight in the Director's hall...

Super luxury movie experience WOOT~!!!

I just had to break down after seeing the opening 8 minutes on Yahoo...could...not...resist!!!

And we've got our TF tickets lined up too...
 
Just got back from it, and it kicks a lot of ass


Can't wait for the Unrated DVD, because you could tell they cut stuff out, and dubbed over some of the language
 
Awesome action, little-to-no story. Then again, who the hell would watch a Die Hard film for the story?

Still like the original a bit more, but this one was surprisingly better than I expected, PG-13 rating be damned.

Thanks for this mini review, prompted me to wait for the Unrated DVD that is so very obviously going to hit, especially if you can tell stuff is cut out.
 
Yeah the rating sucks, the movie still looks like a unique action flick though.

PG-13 movies are allowed one F-word, I wonder how they're gunna use theirs :whistle2:k

Hmmmmmm...?
 
Great, just what we needed, another watered down action movie.

God, why, oh why, must we steralize everything today?

Oh, one more note, if people can tell it's dubbed and cut wouldn't that piss you off? I mean you spent a decent dollar to go see half a movie you then have to go out and buy again on DVD to see it in it's entire, true form. This movie screams "wait for the DVD release".
 
I just got back from seeing it.

And yes, I was pissed because of the PG-13 rating just like everyone else.

But, it was a damn good movie and don't go see it just because of the rating or because you think it won't be action packed.

Because it sure is.

8 out of 10 stars.

Same here, I was really worried about the PG-13 but it ended up being a pretty decent movie. Not nearly as good as the first 3 but decent nonetheless and definetly worth seeing if your a fan of McClane.
 
Decent. Holy shit was the main villian a horrible actor. So horrible that he was funny. Also the random black guy "You're not supposed to be in here!" that was funny when he gets killed. And theres so much unrealistic computer stuff going on that they might as well mash the keyboards. Still it was ridiculous enough to be funny.

it's not in the movie, it's yippie ki yay mother*gunshot*
 
Okay, here is happy review time...

Yeah, the fat ass black guy "Hey, what youse doin's here?!? You is not suppose ta be heres!?!" was so cheesy.

And the main bad guy - HAHAHA I thought that was Josh Duhamel for a minute - I was going, no way is this dude in Transformers AND Die Hard, that would be too much considering all the similar vehicles, but nope it was just his scrappy and scruffy clone from The Girl Next Door...Timothy Olyphant I believe his name is.

A couple really good nods to the previous movies, particularly the one FBI Agent John meets - "hello, I'm agent Johnson..." I guess they are all named agent Johnson.

The action and stunts were top notch. Yes you had to really push the suspension of disbelief to the limit with this one, but hey nowadays you have to really go over the top because the bar has been set so high. So the action is WAY over the top, totally unrealistic, but it's John MacLane, Die Hard, so you let these things slide.

And sure, the plot was retarded, I mean, come on now...these big bad magic hackers drinking Mountain Dew and playing Gears of War while doing crazy hard core hack-ity things, that all together cripple the entire nation. And if the main bad guy was such a bad ass hacker, how come he never even picked up a keyboard?!? I guess he's so bad ass he uses mental telepathy to guide his underling hackers' hands.

A LOT of stuff we've already seen.

Jumping guy...Jesus, too bad we've already seen this in Casino Royale and X-Men.

Harcore Hacker Biker Guy...now that was too funny. Maybe he got his training on hacking the NSA servers from his time as a telephone company repairman or cable installer.

Semi freeway chase scene...Terminator 1 and 2, Speed, hell we're going to see it next week in Transformers, along with the jet and helicopter action.

And what the hell kind of freeway has a freaking ramp that goes up 3 levels in loops?!? It was some sort of triple decker freeway!
 
karkyco:

I don't see much of anything worthwhile of a review in your 'review', but anyway. The main bad guy does pick up a keyboard...think tunnel pileups.

Well, there are a million reviews out there on it, just adding my worthless $.02, mostly musings and things that came to mind, after seeing it.
 
just saw it today...

Pretty good.. felt somewhat like a die hard movie... all that time I wanted to say "HELLO I AM A MAC and I AM A PC!!"

however...
what kind of dumbass f-35 pilot would go to that extreme to get that truck??!?!?!?!? its all about effectiveness... using the lease amount of firepower to do the most damage. He could have taken out the support of the bridge and crushed the truck...which looked like it was going to happen. I guess the pilot didn't care about killing any civilians by firing that missile or unloading 2000 rounds. what a fucken waste. not to mention the fact that the pilot is going to have to explain to his superiors why he couldn't take out a simple target like that and loose his multi million dollar aircraft to a NY cop!!

ALSO...
Star trek fans will recognize TUVOK (timm russ) in some of the scenes!!!

Man, use spoiler tags. Come on... are you new to this shit?
 
[quote name='coltyhuxx']Man, use spoiler tags. Come on... are you new to this shit?[/quote]
Unless you consider a character that is completely worthless to the plot and has a whole 3 seconds of screen time important, then I didn't spoil anything. I did mention it is a "random" character didn't I? If it was an intentional joke by the film, that would be one thing but it's not at all. You're asserting that I spoiled something without having seen the movie? If you have seen the movie, then you already know I haven't.
