That's it!!! I knew there was something that bothered me about this flick. It just didn't seem like the old John McClane.
He didn't light up!
No one can light up quite like Willis. He turns it into an art form!!!!
I do agree. Things have become too sanitized in this regard. News flash!!! People smoke in real life!

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
8/10
Enjoyable. I do have minor criticisms, but I found myself laughing and "oohing" quite a bit. I did enjoy it a lot more than the 3rd Die Hard movie, and it's the best action movie I've seen this year.

They should have recruited "I'm a PC" as a bad guy, if only as a cameo.

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
I thought it was an okay action flick, but it wasn't Die Hard to me.
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

There were some moments of pure Die Hard, though (such as the line about the girlfriend in the elevator and the location of the car). 
But, I thought the true Die Hard moments only peeked through now and then. The rest was a fairly entertaining action movie.

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
Poor CGI IMHO on a lot of scenes, on that fact and lack of true Die Hard traits, I give it an 8/10 too.

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
I just kept wanting McClane to finish people off. That was a big difference from the previous films. Like when that guy fell out of the chopper and on the back of McClane's police cruiser, I fully expected McClane to shift it in reverse. There were so many times where I was going, "Come on! Kill the guy already!"

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
saw it today. it was terrible. definitely not die hard. for all the reasons people pretty much have stated. i saw ratatouille right after. boy what a big contrast between good and bad movies.

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
It's not Die Hard 1 ... but it is very similar to Die Hard 3. Same type of story struction, McClaine + sidekick thing, running around a large area/city, etc.

If DH4 was terrible, what words would you use to describe Rollerball (2002)?  |

Re: Die Hard 4 in the works - now out.
Yeah, it was very Die Hard 3-ish, which was my least favorite. Now it's a toss up between 3 and 4.
It's best when he's left on his own, sort of winging it.
