Die Hard 4.0

[NickFRP]

Watched it over the weekend. I thought it was really really good. I don't normally hold much hope for sequels.

8.5/10 for me

ROLL ON TRANSFORMERS

any one else seen it.

[riwiho]

It was alot better than I thought it was going to be.

The only downside were the unrealistic action scenes towards the end like when Bruce jumped onto the back of a fight jet!

All in all a good action film.

I loved it - back to proper old school action film and less of a reliance on CG. Even the techy computer bits were nearly believable (from a technical point of view) and I very much enjoyed good old Brucey kicking ass.

The comedy bits were pretty funny, and apart from being nose against the screen myself due to being busy, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Saw it at the weekend and thought it was great.

saw it last weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it, but as above there were some scenes that were just too unrealistic.

Also annoyed me that in one scene at least, a car just about to blow up that was supposedly "just driven" could clearly be seen as having it's entire interior stripped out!

You really get annoyed by Die Hard not being realistic enough?

I thought it was great, even the missus enjoyed it and didn't fall asleep although the jet sequence was a bit crap.

I agree with this guy, liked how old brucey's old school methods contrasted nicely with his young charge. the girl was rubbish, though she was fit. Like a Lindsey Lohan that's actually eaten something this week.
Also, aside from the jet part (put in for an american audience to gawp at, probably) I liked that most of the stuff McLane (sp?) did you could believe a fit 50 year old could do.

[Buzz word]

I saw it recently too. Much the same as the OP i usually regard sequals as poor. This however was with rocky 6 as a surprisingly good sequal. There were a few odd bits but I found the pace of the film kept me entertained enough not to worry about obvious technical issues like how did the C4 get in the computers and when the F35 fired and missed why didn't it hit a school like every other loose american rocket.
Fun action film really does what it says on the tin, although i was disspointed at how long it took to hear 'yippie kai yay'. In hindsight though it probably would have been an anticlimax if it wasn't at the end.

I don't believe I said that anywhere? I said I got annoyed by shoddy production work.

Oh it does help Davi...

You see, silly old me, I thought if you saw a car's interior stripped out, you'd think it wasn't as realistic as a real car. Thanks

How does you blood pressure cope when slamming doors shake the entire set on Eastenders?

Or the fact that no-one in Walford ever, ever swears?

I wouldn't say silly, crap wind up merchant yes. Jumping onto and off of a burning jet that's managing to hover by itself, that's unrealistic, but entertaining none the less. Creating a stunt and allowing the viewer to clearly see how it's been prepped with poor camera angles is just poor production work.

As to Eastenders, sorry, couldn't tell you, I consider soaps to be viewing for the terminally brain dead or ignorant tts. Thanks for letting me know what happens though, sure you can keep me updated with the latest going ons in it.

Oh Davi Davi Davi...... you write with such joy, the sun comes out, I smell flowers and I can almost hear little birds singing when I see your posts on screen.

I missed the car bit myself, but I did ponder over the jet bit.

However - where you in the loo when the aircraft turned its rearward thruster (apologies for lack of technical terminology Eric...) downwards ala Harrier vertical thrusters, in order to hover?

Now, granted, the aircraft did hover for a bit too long when the concrete fell into the engine, but I suspended my reality module for a few seconds to allow the jet some time to sloooowly crash and save our Brucey baby

Glad to hear it, I too gain much amusement from your posts, your really quite inane attempts at winding me up have a school child bully quality about them that give me something to laugh at, brightens my day no end.

It's a film. It's made up. It's entertaining. Who cares if it's not realistic?

LOL no, saw it, it was the fact it was managing to hover for a few minutes after it's turbine was apparently blown to bits that I thought was maybe pushing the realms a bit.

Also saw it this weekend, loved it ! Particularly enjoyed some of the bits where the lip-sync was a bit out for people that were filmed from a distance (well nobody will notice eh ?) - classic Die hard.

Oh, I'm delighted you appear so irritated but actually you're laughing at me.... that's great!
