Really? A movie that stretches credibilty way beyond it's elasticity, with holes in the plot one could drive a truck through, and a very unlikely Joe Average hero doing extremely un-average things...and that was just the first 3. I'll wait for the TV version...if there's no footy on the same night. You can probably guess I'm not a Bruce fan.

The thing is troppo, I normally steer well clear of action films because of the eye rolling and amount of "yeah, right" it usually involves me saying.

The Die Hards however just seem to have another charm though, just the way the character John McLane is and the way Bruce pulls off the stupid lines and stuff.

Hehe if you like Bruce, he can get away with it. If you don't like Bruce, the Die Hard movies are in the eye-roll category. How come he's always in the wrong place at the wrong time? Never the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the right time...it seems he can't read a clock or a map.

Troppo> If you go to a Movie like this and expect to watch realistic things happen then you are in the wrong Movie.

You just got to go in turn off the Bull * * * * metre and take it for what it is, a good action film. That's why I go to moves to escape reality, for a Laugh and entertainment

But that's the point mate, you gotta get past the cliche and love it for what it is, an action film.

Saw it last night and thought it was awesome.

Whoever did the editing of the film though needs to be fired real quick LOL
