An average movie

At last, they finally managed to really mess up a 'Die Hard' flick... Indeed, it is easily the most disappointing entry in this franchise. Even the 4rth installment was actually rather fun, especially compared to this final feature. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this but one of my best buddies is a fan of Bruce Willis and Nick, my step-son, saw recently all the previous installments so we went to see this the three of us which was pretty neat. To be honest, they were actually a couple of good ideas. Indeed, it was pretty cool to see McClane and his son in action, they made a great couple, and Jai Courtney really impressed me. Indeed, physically, he looked as if he could have been made Bruce Willis'son and he gave a decent performance against one of the biggest action stars ever. I think it was also a good idea to set the plot abroad in some kind of spy conspiracy but, unfortunately, it wasn't well developped. There were also a couple of neat action scenes but they were so preposterous, obviously made with CGI, it was even more over-the-top than the previous movie and, as a result, their impact was not really impressive. Above all, the whole thing was just really poorly written. I mean, the greatest asset in this franchise is McClane's humor and awesome oneliners but, there again, it was really disappointing and not much fun. Finally, even though the movie was rather short (not even 100 minutes), it felt much longer which is never a good sign, especially with this chase scene which really took forever to end. To conclude, even though I have seen worse movies, even though Bruce Willis remains really charismatic, it is still a rather disappointing action flick and it is not really worth a look, even if you are a fan of this franchise.
