Die Hard 5: Couldn't Give a F*** trying to make a film anymore Review
DickTurpin:
I loved Die Hard 4.0 but whatever you thought of that film there is no denying 5 is rubbish
Howard_Casto:
Isn't going to a Die Hard film expecting it to be logical and well-written like going to a strip club and complaining about all the fake boobies?
DickTurpin:
You could say that. But I went for no brains popcorn munching 'Yippee Kai Aye MotherDucker' fun and I got
a badly filmed pile of old toss you can make excuses for the script and its fair. But it was never THIS bad or
OVER THE TOP the cameraman looks like hes got Parkinson's. Shake shake shake and vac.
Cakemeister:
Die Hard 5 saddened me. But you just have to move on to other things.
Vigo:
I agree completely. Exact same problem with the movie as you. Movies like die hard do not need to be masterpieces. They just need to be fun. Die Hard 4 was completely ridiculous, predictable and over the top. It was also just plain fun, funny and entertaining, so I gave Die hard 4 a pass. I can't in good conscience say the same about Die Hard 5.
Die hard 5 lost everything that was fun about the old movies. It tried to be gritty and harsh, then flew off into the realm of unrealistic like the old batman tv show. The minute they pulled out "Radiation-B-Gone" spray so they could run around Chernobyl, you know the writers just stopped caring about plot.
Then the movie tried to make its own new catchphrase for the film. Well, the writers decided McClain's new catch phrase should be "I'm on Vacation." so he says that about 20 times in the film, and each time it is awkward.
A building blows up in front of him: "I'm on Vacation."
Throws a bad guy off a helicopter: "I'm on Vacation."
Gets shot: "I'm on Vacation."
His son tells him that he hates him: "I'm on Vacation."
Ugh... :banghead:
