Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Went to see it Friday to kill some time before another movie, and the only positive thing I can say is that I didn't have to p*y. How can a movie packed with car chases, guns blazing and all that be so ... boring. I yawned my way through it checking the time much too often (which is something I hardly ever do at the cinema). I enjoyed the first ones, but it's been a downhill spiral for the franchise with its latest installment finally hitting the bottom.
3/10

Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Saw this with orange wednesdays as the Bf wanted to see it, it's ok if you dont care about mindless action sequences, pitiful dialogue and a weak plot, oh and lots and lots of shaky came. Gotta love that!
The action towards the end was more interesting(the helicopter scenes) and think that was the most effort put into the camera work in all honesty!
Other than that, it was dreadful compared to the previous!
3/10 if that D:

Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
I've just been to see this and it was bad. Thankfully, I have a Cineworld card so I didn't p*y. I went into it with fairly low expectations because of the reviews but......urgh.
Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
despite all the negative comments I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie simple because I LOVE Bruce Willis <3

Amen to this! It's impossible to critique this film in the usual manner. It's Die Hard, not Kieslowski!greece wrote:despite all the negative comments I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie simple because I LOVE Bruce Willis <3
And the man, who for most of my childhood was David Addison has a free pass on making not so great films from time to time.
Just don't do a sixth! And if they must, call it Please Lay Down And Die Hard.

Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
We enjoyed this. Bf is a big bruce willis fan. Personally I prefer Jai Courtney
We saw him in something recently - he was a bad russian sniper. His russian accent was pretty good that time!
Anyways, it was all you can expect from a Die Hard movie. Does what it says on the tin.
A concrete 8/10 from us.

Re: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
This movie pisses all over the original DH trilogy and burns their effigy with a yippee why oh why was this made motherf all the way. Even IMAX does not save it. Its not a DH movie, its an Expendables afterglow.
One decent action sequence and one good line do not constitute a satisfying action movie. If I started making a list of whats wrong with this film, I would frankly be here all night, but a good start would be to say that there is no John McClane to be seen, hes been replaced by John Schwarznegger, a pot bellied MA bald guy who cant even run anymore (though admittedly Bruce looks good for his age).
This should never have been made, and I left soon after Chernobyl arrived.
