Movie Review: Live Free and Die Hard (or Suck it Joe Sicari)

[pizzdiggity]

"What a bad freakin' name. Seriously. Who is going to see a movie with a craptastic name."

That's what I originally thought when I heard what Die Hard 4 was being called, "Live Free and Die Hard."

"Yuck."

And apparently America agreed with me, because on opening weekend DH4 finished behind Pixar's Ratoullie (or however the hell you spell it.)

As an expert on the Die Hard movies, I was happy with it. At the same time though, I was thinking that if you took away some of the John McClane references, it could have just as easily been entitled "Random Movie about Bruce Willis Playing a Cop Escorting a Kind and All Hell Breaks Loose." In other words, putting the Die Hard name on it helps it sell. That being said, it was good.

My biggest complaint is I did not like the villian. He wasn't tough or witty, like Hans and Simon Gruber, those villains you actually liked a little bit. This villian, he was just kind of a wussy.

In conclusion, Holly Gennaro is a bitch. McClane saves her and her business friends in Die Hard. He saves her from a plane crash in Die Hard 2. He saves the entire city of New York in Die Hard with a Vengeance, and he saves the country in Live Free or Die Hard, after all that, you really think the woman could cut him a little slack.
