Die Hard 5: Couldn't Give a F*** trying to make a film anymore Review
selfie:
I have always been a Die Hard fan. DH5 felt wrong.
DH5 was the first movie in the series that was originally written as a DH movie, all of the others started out as something else. DH3 was an early draft of Lethal Weapon 4 and it's easy to see.

I've never really cared for the series. I think the original was very good for the time it was produced, but for me mindless action isn't enough, there needs to be some sort of moral imperative or emotional conflict... something, anything to give me an excuse to justify all the explosions and what not. It's not even that the die hard sequels are bad, I can respect bad, because at least with bad they are trying something... they are just rather forgettable.
And before you say that action movies don't have plots or moral imperatives, I'll direct you to Rambo First Blood, The Robocop films, the first two Terminator films (especially the second one) ect.... You CAN make a giant spectacle that has meaning and heart, directors just choose not to, because all the mouth breathers care about are explosions and lens flairs.

Not to give spoilers, but the Carl Winslow from Family Matters is in the first two movies. He plays (Surprise!) a cop. It was an even more dynamic performance than when he played a cop on Ghostbusters.
Carl coulda saved the 5th movie. He would have fit in, because half of the stuff the bad guys used could have been invented by urkel.

If Urkel were in it, I'd be ordering those ---smurfing--- DVDs with the quickness.

The first is a classic. I've seen the others but honestly can't remember them much, except that the 4th was the silliest...

1= Los Angeles / Nakatomi Plaza, synopsis: NY cop does a ton of awesome ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on Xmas Eve to kill terrorists and shout Yipee Kai yay mother ---smurf---. Despite operating outside of his jurisdiction, no charges are filed.
2= Washington DC,Dulles International, synopsis: Bad ass cop returns, kills more terrorists and creates a very expense and deadly landing strip.Despite operating outside of his jurisdiction, no charges are filed.
3= New York, Synopsis : McClaine teams up with Nick Fury (code name Zeus) solving simple riddles to stop another terrorist from stealing gold in garbage trucks.
4= DC, Synopsis:US Marshall Raylen Givens tries to steal the social security fund before John McClaine buys a Macbook from the Mac kid to stop him. Uses a car to defy physics and take down da choppah. Despite operating outside of his jurisdiction, no charges are filed.
5= Russia, Synopsis: John's kid who we've never seen before is suddenly an adult spy/covert op and has the same terrible aim as his dad as they frolic in the nuclear wasteland and bond through repetitive catch phrases and bad jokes. Despite operating outside of his jurisdiction (and in this case country), no charges are filed.
