This film is to the Die Hard franchise what Light beer is to Beer.
You shouldn't have it, but you'll do it anyway because, hey, it's beer!
And then the aftertaste reminds you that it wasn't the real deal.

This one hasn’t aged very well in the last 13 years, especially if you watch it in context with any of the earlier films, which are all far superior. Luddite McClane against a bunch of cyber-terrorists works as a central dynamic, but the action sequences start big and keep getting bigger, until McClane’s taking down fighter jets with big rigs on collapsing highway overpasses. (That happens after McClane kills a helicopter with a car, by the way.)
I keep calling him McClane, but there’s very little of the character from the earlier movies in this one. Even in Die Hard 2, McClane is still a smart, smart-mouthed cop with a total disrespect for authority and a wicked sense of humor.…

While the first film in the franchise I watched was the original, over a decade earlier my mother went to see this by herself in the theatres while I went to see another film (I think I was too young to see it back then), and I still remember how thrilled my mother and everyone else who came out of the movie were. And now that I've seen it, I understand why.
Len Wiseman draws inspiration from Michael Bay's book to bring us a modern, and likely more explosive, installment of Die Hard, in which, after three films, McClane must confront his biggest threat: technology. The high-octane explosions and action sequences are spectacular. The one-liners are equally as amusing as…

Rewatch
Original Rating - 1 and a half stars
Rewatch Rating - 3 and a half starsI must have been in a bad mood the first time I saw this. I went into this with the knowledge that I originally hated it and 15 minutes in, I thought, wait, this is actually kind of cool. It had some really well done action set pieces and unique death scenes, Justin Long was immensely likable, and of course, it had freaking Bruce Willis. I'm glad I was in a better mood this time; I had a great time watching this movie.

Wiseman's less a hack than he is a pretty good visual mimic with shitty taste in material. He pulls a lot of DIE HARD's lateral moves along axis and his action compositions tend to have a lot of depth; the tunnel sequence particularly is about as cleanly edited and spatially coherent as you're likely to get these days, not to mention largely practical (F35B Lightning fighter jet sequence excepted - still a nice shot at a TRUE LIES knockoff). Long story short: being a bad DIE HARD movie doesn't keep this from being a decent action movie.
Super bonus points* for the sneaky/funny/smart scene in which the bad guys broadcast a shot of the U.S. Capitol exploding and everyone rushes outside to see if it's real.
*said points deducted for stalling for nearly 10 minutes while we get to hang out with Kevin Smith.

(2020 Summer Blockbuster Series)
Die Hard gets hacked ... as Detective John McClane finds himself in the middle of a cyber-terrorist plot to take control of the United States' infrastructure.
"Then why are you doing this? ... Because there's nobody else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it ... Ah. That's what makes you that guy."
As a huge fan of the Die Hard franchise, I had a blast getting to see Live Free or Die Hard in the theater. Rewatching it now after having seen the miserable disappointment that was Die Hard 5, you can see how…

Michael Scott (The Office s4): "Okay, here's the thing about Die Hard 4. Die Hard 1, the original, John McClain is just this normal guy, you know? He's just a normal New York city cop who gets his feet cut, he gets beat up. But he's an everyday guy. In Die Hard 4, he is jumping a motorcycle into a helicopter in the air. You know? He's invincible. It's just sort of lost from Die Hard 1. It's not Terminator."
If this weren't a Die Hard film, it would have been a solid PG-13 2000s techno action flick starring Bruce Willis, Justin Long, Maggie Q, Timothy Olyphant, Cliff Curtis and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
I trick myself to thinking it's the latter.....but every now and then I hear characters say "McClane" and I am reminded that this belongs in that universe! -
This belated fourth entry into the Die Hard series an older and bald John McClane taking on a bunch of Internet terrorists, with the help of Justin Long's nerdy computer hacker. The film riffs on the third part, with the unlikely duo taking centre stage, and the film takes full advantage of this. McClane's old school no nonsense style blending well Long's new fangled computer hacker jargon; neither one being enough to save the day alone. The overall tone is much more serious this time around; the plot really weighs in heavy, though with plenty of comedic interludes and totally overblown action scenes to keep things moving. The film goes way past the bounds of believability on a number of…

This movie is actually a blast. Some really creative and over-the-top action scenes with awesome stuntwork.
But it gets a full star taken off for making McClane into a raging misogynist, racist, fatphobic asshole (not to mention a cold-blooded killer). OG McClane didn’t need any of that to appeal to the American people and I refuse to think it was necessary in 2007.

100-word review: I sympathise with Matthew's "just because it's old rock, doesn't make it classic rock" sentiment, but damn man that's Creedence — what ya bitchin' about? If you thought I was weird for thinking the second Die Hard is almost equally as good as the first, wait 'till you hear this. Even though the hacker scenes are dumb as hell, the consequential fallout and societal collapse is riveting, and so are the action sequences in this fourth instalment; the tunnel and F-35B scenes in particular are F&F-level over-the-top antics that I love for their memorability. Surprisingly awesome.
Part of my August 2022 80s & 90s Cop Franchises challenge; 11th out of 18 films.
