[QUOTE=Akayz;25443783]I watched it Last Sunday on E4. How many times will they repeat that movie?[/QUOTE]
Channel 4 will milk the everloving fuck out of film rights. Just look at Film4, they repeat the same move thrice a week sometimes (The Transporter has gotten good for repeats).
Mr and Mrs Smith was milked so dry by the Four channels
watching Die Hard 2 now just to give it a chance and because I really wanna watch 3 and it wouldn't make sense if i missed 2 out.
There isn't really that much continuity between the movies.
i don't care, it wouldn't feel right
Why am I watching Die Hard on E4 again? :psyduck:

Hurr, 40 year old's make horrible actors.
Really didn't like Die Hard 4.
According to rotten tomatoes reviews (best to worst):
Die Hard 1
Die Hard 4.0
Die Hard 2
Die Hard 3 (this one had surprisingly average reviews)
I disagree with this a lot.
The Die Hard set in an Airport was filmed 10 minutes from where I live. It's weird seeing terrorists take over an airport you fly out of. :v:
Die Hard 3 and 4 didn't have that fun Home Alone vibe to them, they're not good and you can find their brand of action just about anywhere.
live free or die hard was honestly pretty good. maybe this one won't suck.
Die hard: die harderer
It's actually kinda rare that a movie like this gets three sequels and all three of them are pretty enjoyable.

to be honest, its my favorite one.
Cause i love airports.
in Die Hard 2 about 200 people die in the first 40 minutes in a plane crash
that's just not Die Hard
Even though my knowledge of networking is pretty basic, I found the ridiculous technobabble in DH4 infuriating
The problem with the die hard franchise is that they turned John into some sort of superhero. In Die Hard 1 he's just your regular cop, that HAPPENS to get in the middle of a terrorist act and does what he can to stop it, but in Die Hard 4 he's this superhuman who drives a car into a helicopter.
John in DH4 is nothing like John in DH1, except the name.

After stopping terrorists 3 times, you automatically count as a super hero.

Ahh. So bungeeing off a roof and surviving is totally applicable to day to day life.
NOW I understand.

There's a BIG difference between jumping off a roof with a hose as a final act of survival, and driving a car into a helicopter.

I wouldn't have said jumping out of a car at full speed was hero like. I think that jumping off the plane and rolling down the slope was quite death defying.

They're action movies, you're taking them too seriously
[QUOTE=OutOfExile2;25544227]They're action movies, you're taking them too seriously[/QUOTE]
the die hard films weren't supposed to be mindless action. they have just degenerated into such.
once, it was clever, well written, a little more grounded (regular cop, wrong place wrong time, doing his best to take down terrorists, takes a while to kill most of them, isn't a super action hero, just a loose cannon cop). all these things are what make it good, john seems more like a real person, and is thus more relatable, making the feats he overcomes even more awesome.
you don't need to "take them seriously", but if you JUST HAPPENED TO THINK ABOUT THEM A LITTLE, you'd realise why 1 was so good, and why 4 was so terrible. you could sit there and absorb the action into your brain, sure, but at the end of the day, die hard is a classic, and a legitimately good film, and die hard 4 is garbage that you can only enjoy if you 'switch off', as opposed to the first, where you can enjoy it if you're watching attentively, or if your mind is a puddle of goo.
Why was Die Hard a classic? The characters were all witty and likeable.
The exchanges between the the black guy and bruce, then with alan rickman, and then Skeletons by Stevie Wonder playing in the background in Argyle's car.
I've definitely watched the first one more times than any of the others. But this thread is largely about disregarding the sequels.
Not one of them will ever have been as good as the first..
I know that's what I'm saying
But you are still disregarding the movies for the fact that they aren't as good as the first :smug:
