Die Hardest w/ 50% More Vengeance with Liberty and Justice for All.

So... yeah.

I saw the latest foray into the Die Hard series tonight, and I have to say, it was a Die Hard movie.

There's so many things about this movie that were just awful, but because it was a Die Hard movie, they are all very forgivable. Primarily, of course, the problems come from plausibility, and I'm not referring to the idea that the country could be crippled by hackers, because, that is actually plausible. I'm talking about the way in which things are done, the fact that Bruce Willis blows up a helicopter with a cop car, and leaps onto a falling Jump Jet only to roll off and escape yet another brush with death. I'm talking about the fact that computer user interfaces do not look like that, and connecting remotely to hack into a system doesn't happen instantaneously.

Beyond that, however, the acting was typical for a Die Hard movie. Bruce Willis does an excellent job playing John McClane, and old man, because Bruce Willis is now an old man. Seriously, I wonder how he can do what he does anymore. I have to give him credit, for being 120 years old, he's looking good. The best part of the movie, to me, was the various comedic deliveries of Justin Long, whose name I finally know after enjoying him in about 293 movies. His timing and over reaction play perfectly throughout.

Anyway, I won't really get into the story, because it's still pretty silly. The bottom line is that it's a great action movie, which is what it was meant to be, and it's well worth the money to see in the theater.
