Saw Live Free or Die Hard last night. This is why I hate movie studios, they had to make this film PG-13! No blood, no cursing, no nothing! It is far from being a Die Hard film. How many snotty pre-teens know who John McClane is? I doubt many do. Even the franchise's catch phrase, "Yippy kay yay motherfucker" is cut down.
Some of the action scenes are neat, but are way over the top. I always say to my self, "Never see a PG-13 film." and I did it again. FOX should be ashamed of themselves, this is an R rated franchise. If you plan on seeing this, just rent the first three instead.
Verdict: C-
and I absolutely agree.
Its decent, but nothing worth a damn. Its not a DIE HARD movie in spirit or even the same John McClane personality we saw in DIE HARD and DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE: That is, a charming asshole that you might like for awhile, but you wouldn't want to do anything with afterwards. The sort that runs his attitude off and gets him stuck at a crappy level.
Plus, McClane has a dirty mouth. At least DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE had the good sense to keep that.
