Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

''Mai? Oh, yeah. Little Asian chick, likes to kick people? I don't think she's gonna be talkin' to anybody for a really long time. Last time I saw her she was at the bottom of a elevator shaft with an SUV rammed up her ass.'' John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States. Bruce Willis: John McClane Live Free or Die Hard is quite a refreshing piece of entertainment this summer in the wake of so many effects-driven computer simulated action/fantasy films. With its silly title, smart-alleck lead character (Bruce Willis as Bruce Willis doing what he does best, that's right, John McClane.), and loads of old fashioned stunts involving cars, SUV's, elevator shafts, big rigs, helicopters, fighter jets, and collapsing ...Read more

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE UNCUT VERSION "All you gotta do is go pick up a kid down in New Jersey, and drive him down to D.C. How hard can that be, huh? Can't be that hard, now, can it? No, gotta be a senior detective. Think like a traffic jam, throwing a car at me's gonna stop me? Huh?" I'll be frank: my disappointment with the watering down of Live Free or Die Hard was the equivalent of being depressed following a death in the family. The latest plague affecting contemporary action films is the acquisition of the PG-13 rating from the MPAA to secure as much money at the box office as possible. I was unreservedly devastated when I learnt that the long-awaited Die Hard sequel would have the proverbial hardcore violence and foul language diluted for the attainment of a PG-13 rating.

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE THEATRICAL VERSION "All you gotta do is go pick up a kid down in New Jersey, and drive him down to D.C. How hard can that be, huh? Can't be that hard, now, can it? No, gotta be a senior detective. Think like a traffic jam, throwing a car at me's gonna stop me? Huh?" According to Bruce Willis, money wasn't the reason he agreed to return to the Die Hard series for this fourth entry...he just wasn't satisfied with Die Hard 2: Die Harder or Die Hard: With a Vengeance. The second Die Hard movie was highly entertaining nonsense, but it was fairly undercut because it replicated the original too often and there were too many utterly preposterous action scenes. The third, while almost on par with the original, altered the formula to create more of a Lethal Weapon style...Read more

Whoever agreed to make another Die Hard film certainly had a lot of pressure on their shoulders. It's not just any old action film, but probably one of the greatest films of the genre! The franchise spawned many elements which became clichés in later action films, but no matter what, the Die Hard films always managed to have novel stunts, action sequences and brilliant lines that put other films to shame. The plot felt quite unconventional. I can't remember any other film which deals with such widespread cyber-terrorism, though it was quite hilarious seeing McClane pit his wits, not against marines or German master criminals, but frustrated internet nerds. These nerds essentially cripple the united states technological infrastructure, reducing its cities to pandemonium and leaving eve...Read more

I am about a year behind the rest of the world in finally seeing Die Hard 4.0 (as it was called here in the UK!) I am kind of glad i waited, it was a purely brilliant film that i feel i appreciated more seeing on a smaller screen, as i didn't have all the hype and expectation about me which i would have had in the cinema around the time of release. Without the haze of expectation i went into this film knowing it would not be a patch on the other 3 (admittedly i have only seen Die Hard properly, the other 2 i have only seen *most of* a very long time ago!) but that i would enjoy it none the less. The action scenes are hilarious and i sat through them laughing and even clapping at times, because there would be something unexpected, or completely unrealistic that would arise in Johns f...Read more

"Live Free Or Die Hard", is a genuinely excellent action film. The reason I say this is because it is never boring, and there is always something exciting going on. There are great action scenes, and the film, is never dull. John Mcclane is back, and he is better than ever. I would say this is the best Die Hard Film in the series, but it is a close call. If you are looking for a great, and fun to watch action flick, then this is for you.

The bad guy in this movie is an American, not a foreigner, as was said by another...an American who used to work for the FBI, as it turns out.

I really enjoyed this movie, and am glad I saw it on the big screen. The action scenes were great...and I loved the fact that you could see (at times) where shots were against a green screen. You could suddenly see how fake the background was, and it was fun.

Justin Long was great, and had some really great lines in this movie, and he and Bruce Willis acted well together. I am so glad they came back and did another Die Hard movie, and this one included a scene in an elevator shaft, which was awesome.

I plan on seeing this one again.

Out of the 4 Die Hard Movies I got to say I like this one right after the first. Nothing will top the original. Granted the action in this film is alil over the top, but hey it's an all out guy's action flick. the action is suppose to be over the top.

The overall storyline was good, kind of makes you wonder what would really happen if someone could pull it off.

Bruce Willis is Da Man in this film Justin Long is perfect as the comedic sidekick. Kevin Smith rocks in no matter what he does. If you like the Dia Hard series, you'll like this one...

Live Free or Die Hard (what a stupid title) is a popcorn roller coaster ride - fun while you're there but forgettable soon afterwards.

The action is soooo over the top that you might find your eyes permanently rolled at the back of your head from all the unbelievable action and "plot twists". Plus, Timothy Olyphant as Thomas Gabriel is one of the weakest villians EVER! There was absolutely no tension between him and John McClane. I can put up with convenient story lines in an action movie but give me a halfway decent villain to match wits with my good guy.

Still it was great to see Bruce Willis as John McClane and Justin Long is a real find.

John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back. He must find hacker Matthew Farrell (Justin Long) to track down Thomas Gabriel and his Internet terrorist network before Gabriel's team shuts down the USA completely.

So many flaws in the script, I don't even know where to start.

Despite its flaws and errors, this is a typical American action film with Bruce Willis where the bad guys, of course, are foreigners, and McClane saves the hacker, his daughter and all go home happy - more or less.
A nice discovery: Justin Long in a serious role, and not his usual comedy.

What else can be said about this action film... it's action-packed, and it's a real film for GUYS.

Fun entertainment.

The Mother (eh, Father) of all Action Heros is back.
Bleeding, swearing, laughing and always with the simplest plan "going in, save my daughter, kill everyone else").

Great entertainment, tons of quotes of other genre highlights, one funny remark for every dead bad guy and a happy ending although the world lies in ruins.

What else can you possibly expect?

(just 9/10 because I gave 10 for Pt.1 and that is sacret)

If there was a better word to describe the word awesome that would be the one to use for the latest Die Hard installment. John McClane is back and Bruce Willis has officially reclaimed himself as Hollywood's top action hero in an utterly BAMF performance. Hands down the best action movie I may have ever seen. Justin Long is hilarious, and up until this movie, I couldn't stand the Mac-boy. This is "the" must-see summer blockbuster, I have no idea how Transformers can top it.
