Snippet from My Review: (read my full review here)
Before A Good Day to Die Hard even hit theaters there was talk of a sixth installment, but this film will have to defy all odds for that to happen. While I didn’t dislike the Len Wiseman-directed fourth installment as much as others, the writing is clearly on the wall in that today’s so-called action directors don’t hold a candle to the likes of old schoolers such as John McTiernan who only seemed to get better while today’s plastic wrapped clones only get worse.
Starter Questions
Here are a few questions to help get the conversation started.
1.) Does the John McClane in this film at all resemble the McClane in the early films? Is it just me, or has any and all humanity been sucked out of him?
2.) Did you care even the slightest bit for any of the new characters? Do you feel you know Jack McClane anymore than you did before walking in?
3.) I respect the fact some of you may like it, but even those that didn’t, was there something you actually did enjoy while watching?
4.) If you heard a sixth Die Hard was going to be made, what would they have to do to earn your money for a ticket?
