Live Free or Die Hard? I’d rather Die Hard
So Cybergosh and I just got out of LFODH and I’m too tired to be pithy
or comprehensive. For now…
…suffice it to say that it’s not what Die Hard
4 should be, nor would it have been a good standalone action flick
either. Underneath all the nonsense and distractions, there’s a decent
story that could have served up a solid McClane yarn, but Wiseman aint
that skilled.
The opposite holds true; he’s so green that there are dozens of scenes
that are horribly put together, showstopper action scenes are so over
the top that it would barely fit in Die Hard: The Animated Series, and
overall, all the winks and nods to the series are handled poorly and
without any real tact. Bruce Willis, ya wanna love him, and when he’s
in the zone, McClane lives again… but those glimpses are rare, and
instead, we’re stuck with a different McClane than even Vengeance, which
left me a bit cold.
Long story short: Jeers to Live Free or Die Hard. If it was called Die
Hard 4.0, I’d have been slightly more forgiving.
