Live Free or Die Hard

<< < (8/8)

Washu:
"Die Hard 4.0" should be added to the thesaurus as a synonym for "orgasmic".

SleeperCylon:
Meh.

I'm all for ridiculously over the top action sequences, but if they don't make it at least a little believable, you're just watching a really expensive cartoon.

Action movies are supposed to be far fetched and unrealistic.  But with this movie it was SO far fetched and SO unbelievable there was no point the movie even really held my attention.  None of the characters, good guys or bad guys, were even believable enough for an action flick.  They made 24 look as realistic as the producers claim it to be.  And everybody was completely incompetent except Bruce Willis.  I mean, come on.  How could a guy in a jet fighter fail to blow up a truck?

Lotus:
That's exactly what the movie does, but it does it very well.  Combine the over-the-top action with excellent [camera] shots so that the audience has a clear awareness of what's going on and where, and you have a kick-ass summer blockbuster.  That's what it was meant for and I think it takes the title this year.

Certainly an argument for Transformers though...

Merkava:
I hated Olyphant's performance. It was bland and ridiculously void of zest for an over-the-top action villain.

The movie was brilliant, though. Delivered everything it promised, and didn't go too far with self-parody, a balance which many old franchises fail to accomplish (the Simpsons).

"Just get me some god damn helicopters!"
