When I first heard that they were making another Die Hard movie, I kinda rolled my eyes. And when I heard they were making it PG-13, I [i]really [/i]rolled my eyes.
And yet it works. It’s ridiculous for sure, but loads of fun. The action is tense, and the high tech vs. low tech angle pays off. Bruce Willis is still good in the role, although I would have liked to see him get a few more funnier lines. The tech geek as his partner was quite good, too, and was quality comic relief.

There was one action sequence in particular that was just a bit much to believe–even for this movie–but otherwise I was into it all the way.
Although with all the shooting, killing, blowing stuff up that went on, you would think they would drop a few f-bombs at least. But they didn’t. I’m not sure why they went PG-13. I’m not sure how much it hurt the movie, but it certainly didn’t help.
If you’re looking for popcorn fun, Live Free or Die Hard delivers.
