- Yippee-kay-ay! Let’s Talk Die Hard 4!
Alright, so we’ll admit — 4th movies of a series, especially so far down the line, normally aren’t good ideas. So the original idea of resurrecting the Die Hard franchise was, to fans like us, scary. We LOVE the first Die Hard as one of the best flicks of all time (quite possibly the BEST actioner ever). The 2 current sequels both have merit in their own way, never quite standing up to the original, but entertaining all the same — How can you not like John McClane? So, when the first teaser showed up, folks were skeptical. Heck, so were we. Well, folks, put all those worries aside – The final Die Hard 4.0 (or, “Live Free or Die Hard”, as we hear it’ll be called stateside), has ARRIVED, and it KICKS ASS. And yep, Kevin gets a nice chunk of voiceover and screentime right in the heart of it. Check out some shots here.
What’s gonna make this flick work? First up, let’s hope this one didn’t pull the PG-13 trick and water down the violence and the colorful language. That type of stuff is what Die Hard is all about. So here’s hoping we don’t get the “Aliens vs. Predator” of the Die Hards here. Also, let’s hope the flick is as good as this amazing trailer looks. There’s a lot of cool action going on here, “money shots” if you will — Let’s hope they haven’t blown them all to fill the seats and still have some surprises left (as there is a LOT here – choppers, planes, hand-to-hand, a badass chick, and some great callbacks to the original flick from the sound of the dialogue). So, that being said, we’re now STOKED. The one-liners, the explosions, the action – McClane is back! And he’s brought our favorite director with him! It doesn’t get much cooler than that, folks. We’ll see you in the theater seats this July.
