So, I saw this last night and thought it was pretty poor. I checked out the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes before I left and saw that it only had a 13% (which I believe has skyrocketed to 14% since last night) and I laughed it off saying, "Oh, c'mon.. it's Die Hard, don't be so hard on it".
Well, I was wrong. Anyone else see it?
On a more hilarious note, the previews were Snitch, Red 2, Fast & Furious 6 and G.I. Joe Retaliation. That's right, a movie starring The Rock, followed by a movie starring Bruce Willis, followed by a movie starring The Rock followed by a movie starring The Rock and Bruce Willis.
By the time The Rock showed up in the 4th trailer, the whole theatre was laughing.

The trailers thing is pretty hilarious, I've gotta say.

The first three are good (1 being a classic, 3 being better than 2). The fourth falls apart pretty quick but isn't bad until Willis starts surfing on a F-14 which is spinning out of control. Apparently someone forgot to turn God mode off when filming the last one.

Apparently someone forgot to turn God mode off when filming the last one. He does something WAY more ridiculous than the jet surfing in this one. Absolutely insane. {Spoiler}He drives a truck out of the back of a helicopter causing it to spin out of control. The force from spinning throws him through the window of a building while EVERYTHING EXPLODES. I swear, I felt like I was watching a McBain movie.

I still think 2012 takes the most impossible scenarios survived award.

I saw a little bit of it when I was at work the other day. Maybe it's just me, but Bruce really didn't seem like he was into this one honestly. They need to get back to the basics with McClane and have him be the hard drinking, swearing, and hardcore badass that he was in 1-3.

I don't know about a lot of people, but I saw this with a friend earlier and we both liked it. While I can admit that it didn't live up to the other films, I still enjoyed it. Hell, I actually enjoyed the fourth film despite how over the top it is, though the first three are still superior.

Personally, I wish McClane didn't come back. I didn't care for Live Free or Die Hard.
Maybe it was the lack of hair. I wish Bruce didn't star in almost every movie as his bald self.

I can never refer to this movie as anything other than Bruce Willy Five.

I was going to see this regardless of the bad reviews, because I love Bruce Willis that much. I'm glad we went to see Side Effects instead, in the end.

Willis was brilliant on Top Gear earlier this evening.

The worst thing they did was change McClane from the common man to Superman. He was always put in over the top situations but he at least showed pain and concern. If they were to make a Die Hard in Nakatomi now, he'd fall through every floor and land without a scratch.

I saw it today. It was fine. It delivered the kind of testosterone-fueled action that it advertised. I didn't see much wrong with it.
Didn't care for all the references to other Die Hard movies. I wish they would just write a movie that can stand on it's own and not rely on references to other movies in the franchise.

Knew this would suck when I saw John Moore was directing it. Luckiest man in Hollywood, guy couldn't direct a prayer in a Mosque, absolutely useless.

I hated it. It was easily the worst of the series.
At what point in the movie does he say the yippee ki aye catchphrase. The movie was so bland I must have missed it.
