Live Free Or Die Hard out today! Any Freaks see it yet? How was it?

 

[TOE]

I'm checking it out next week. From the 8 minute clip Sideshow showed us, this movie is action packed. :chew

 

[The ill Jedi]

Just checked out the clip: https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808403725/video/3107527/standardformat?&source=062107news

It looks awesome! I spotted an Iron Man Comiquette, Wolvie Comiquette and an Endoskeleton bites the dust! I was thinking from the start, "please don't shoot the collectibles!!" Can't wait to see this though, I love Die Hard and am a big Bruce Willis fan, should be loads of fun!

I am thinking about gonig to see it. The PG-13 really disrespects to the whole series that preceded this installment. I mean, is it really worth having a Die Hard Movie PG-13? It's not going to fit into the series. It's probably going to just have a bunch of huge explosions, no story, no foul language, and john McClaine saving the world. NONE of those fit into the Die Hard Series. McClaine is "just the wrong guy at the wrong place at the wrong time" and this movie just isn't that.

Rant aside, I will see it. PLUS, his daughter's really lovelove

Totally agree. PG-13 McClane?? Sellout.

Okay, after seeing this today, I can officially say I am off the "PG-13" hater bandwagon. Yes, the F bombs are gone (however, they got away with more minor leaguer curses than I expected). Yes, the blood spray is limited (but, it's still not Heroes "I get shot in the chest 4 times and theres only 4 smalls dabs" bad ). But 15 minutes into it and NONE of that mattered. This IS John F'n McClane ... doesn't matter if he can't say F'n.

Interesting story about this - saw in an interview ... you can saw F### twice in a PG-13 movie ... I thought it was once. However, the minute you add mother to the front of it, it's automatic R. How does that make any sense?!?

Okay, off the rant. The stunts were great. Sure, the truck/ jet showdown was slightly absurd ... but no more so than the 5 minutes McClane gets to eject before the grenades explode in Die Harder or his dump truck surfing in With a Vengeance. Basically, if you can suspend your disbelief a little ... a prerequisite for ALL action movies now-a-days, it works. And, I will dare say it works because of Bruce and Mac Boy. I honestly went into it expecting to hate Mac Boy ... in those damn commercials, he's almost as irritating as the "Zoom zoom" kid and the "Dude, you're getting a Dell" stoner. But, he and Bruce have a chemistry that works in this film. As for the fighting and kills, while they are less bloody, they still feel "hard" ... sorry for the pun. To be honest, many of the kills feel rougher than the ones in the original Die Hard ... once again, just less blood. Sure, no icicle in the eye craziness from Harder, but it all worked for me.

So, as someone opposed to censorship, I am still angry they forced them to go PG-13. But, this is not another AvP debacle. The film worked mainly because of Bruce. He WAS McClane - in fact, he was more like his character in the first 2 ... I always felt that in Vengeance, Bruce was playing your standard "action cop" with a few McClane quips thrown in so they could call it Die Hard. In this film, it felt like the John from Nakatomi Plaza and the Airport. If you are avoiding this one simply because of the PG-13 rating, you are making a mistake.


P.S. And DAMN, what the hell is Bruce taking to stave off Mr. Time? Other than the bald head, he looked in as good of shape as in Vengeance ... actually better, since he was suppose to be hung over in 3. He doesn't look 52 at all.

Die Hard + Bruce Willis = BAD ASS!!

 

[Eli26]

Loved the last Die Hard so I wanna see it for that reason and I like the actors. But the special effects, action sequences, and the dreadfully predictable, oh did I also mention old and contrived, poorly delivered one liners has me a bit on the leery side of whether or not this is worth the nine bucks of admission. Obviously the laws of physics don't exist in this film. I swore one part in that 8 minute clip showed Spider-Man making a cameo jumping from one ledge to another, and of course the whole truck into the helicopter bit, followed by the cheesy one liner, "I ran out of bullets" or the scene were the vehicle flips over them and lands on the two cars that they are sandwhiched in between... definitely had my eyes rolling in the movie theatre, and what was funny a girl was heard yelling, "Yeah right!"

So I don't know what to think. I loved the original Die Hard, and DH3 rocked my world. But so far what I have seen of this one, meh, could be a Spider-Man 3 or Batman and Robin of the Die Hard franchise.

Anyway, I am more pumped up for Transformers! Got my ticket! Woohoo!

So does John McClane still say his last words in this film or not? No Yippee Ki yay mother******?

Technically, yes. However, the -cker is drowned out by gunfire.

DIE HARDER
Al Powell: You ain't pissing in somebody's pool, are you?
John McClane: Yeah, and I'm fresh out of chlorine.

Rent-A-Car Girl: I'm closing off in an hour. Do you want to get a drink?
John McClane: [shows his wedding ring] Just the fax, ma'am. Just the fax.

[Esperanza has landed the plane and steps outside]
Gen. Ramon Esperanza: Freedom!
John McClane: [McClane smacks him in the face with a gun] Not yet!
[he draws his gun on Esperanza]
John McClane: You're supposed to stay in your seat until the plane reaches the terminal. No frequent flier mileage for you.
Gen. Ramon Esperanza: Who are you?
John McClane: A cop.
Gen. Ramon Esperanza: A cop?
John McClane: Yeah. One of the good guys. See, you're one of the bad guys, and now that I've got your sorry ass, I'm gonna trade you for my wife.

VENGEANCE
Zeus: Are you aiming for these people?
John McClane: No.
[pauses]
John McClane: Well, maybe that mime.

John McClane: Hot in here, or am I just scared to death?

John McClane: Say hello to your brother.

John McClane: [to terrorists in a tunnel] Hi, Mickey O'Brien, aqueduct security. We've had a report of a guy coming through here with, uh, eight reindeer.
[McClane shoots the terrorists]
John McClane: Yeah, they said he was a jolly old fat guy with a snowy white beard. Cute red clothes. I'm surprised you didn't see him.

[McClane and Targo are fighting]
Mathias Targo: I see you all day, little man, policeman...
[Targo kicks McClane, who is on the ground]
Mathias Targo: ...and you don't go away.
John McClane: Yeah, I'm that f@#king Energizer bunny.




Okay, there were plenty more (and I didn't even go back to the original), but you all have probably stopped reading the quotes by now. Point being, all of the Die Hards are filled with dialogue, that looks corny on paper ... or out of context in a short clip, that just WORKS because Bruce Willis is delivering it. This movie felt no different.

P.S. It wasn't until I surfed IMDB looking for Vengeance memorable quotes that I remembered how many times they used f##k in part 3. Hell, between Bruce and Sam, I would be willing to bet they said it more than 1 and 2 combined LOL.

 

[SSC_Nerd]

Just saw it.


Go see it.


Gonna be killer on Blu-Ray.

 

[gdb]

All the CGI haters, gotta see the plane v. Mclane battle in act 3! Best sequence in the thing. Not a bad little movie. Could have used some R rated fun but oh well.

I had fun spotting all the Sideshow Collectibles on screen.

 

[SSC_Nerd]

Yeah, let's see.... I spotted the Wolverine Comicquette and the 1/4 Endoskeleton at the kid's apartment, and the 1/4 Obi-Wan and the 12 inch The Master at Kevin Smith's basement.

 

[Bannister]

From what I understand this movie was shot as an R, so there will probably be an unrated dvd that has stuff added back in.

 

[minivader]

is SS making die hard collectables? why is there so many SS products in the movie?

Well they didn't do any 40 year old virgin collectibles so it doesn't necessarily mean they will be doing Die Hard. They are probably just there to establish the guy as a nerd.

Don't you mean a ROCKIN' cool guy?

mcclan is a nerd? or is it the mac boy?
