Review of A Good Day to Die Hard (2013) by David N — 11 Jan 2014

Let me start by saying I'm a huge Die Hard fan. I enjoyed all of the past movies which obviously led to high hopes for A Good Day To Die Hard. Such high hopes that the mountain of bad reviews couldn't derail my anticipation. Why was I so excited though? The trailer was a typical Die Hard trailer with tons of explosions and a cheesy tag line of "Yippee Ki-Yay Mother Russia." Maybe it was the addition of John McClane's son, I mean what could be better than two renegades. Honestly, I think it was just the fact that Die Hard never failed me before. I was always enjoyed the sequels, even though none of them could compare to the original Die Hard. They were fun and over the top which is exactly what I asked for from this series.

Never been so blindsided by a movie that I was willing to be so forgiving of. The room for error was near endless and I still struggled to get through it. I was bored and uninterested the entire movie. The plot was boring and the action felt repeated. Bruce Willis looks too old to play this character. This was the brutal death to one of action films great characters.... John McClane.

With nothing nice to say, I will end with this... RIP Die Hard series.
