I'm calling bullshit.It's getting GREAT reviews and all the haters on gaf and the like who have seen it are praising it.
Massive bullshit.
I'm still boycotting the film because it's not R.
I'm still kinda waiting for Wasabi's assessment. Lone said he liked Pirates 3. His opinion is therefore worthless.The fact the movie is getting shockingly good reviews from the mainstream press doesn't help? Pirates 3 and Spidey 3 got trashed by the press.
I still stand by my assessment that the PG-13 rating is fucking pointless.It needs to make money for R rating. Willis wants to do a 5th. If this does well they'd be more willing to let R happen next time. Ala Aliens vs. Predator.

The rating doesn't affect the fan base, if anything they created bad buzz around it with the PG-13 rating. I don't get why Fox has become so goddamn pussy. T3 was rated R and made $150 million.
Mclane swears a lot and there is PLENTY of blood. McClane is covered in blood.I still stand by my assessment that the PG-13 rating is fucking pointless.It needs to make money for R rating.

This movie is going to suck donkey nuts.
I saw an action sequence from the film with NO BLOOD. WHAT THE FUCK. AND NO MCCLANE CURSING.
Die Hard is dead. It fucking forsakes the name for fucks sake. With a name like Die Hard, you expect some R rated shit to go down. Not in this latest watered down aborted fetus.
McClain doesn't swear alot...He says shit quite often.
umm, actually, the series has grown progressively worse since the first outing.
die hard > die hard 2 > die hard 3 > die hard 4

I disagree. Die Hard 3 was superior to the Renny Harlin directed Die Hard 2.
It's still not Die Hard. They pussied out. No matter how good it is, I'm never gonna let that go.
shut up until you see the film, there isn't a soul who hasn't enjoyed it.It's still not Die Hard. They pussied out. No matter how good it is, I'm never gonna let that go.
Agreed.
I'm bootlegging the film. I won't pay for Live Free or Pussy Soft.
Go trace a Die Hard 4 that's rated R for me.

Ok, I just got back from the movie and I need to put in my two cents..
The movie is terrible.
Die Hard is my favorite action movie of all-time and I've seen it too many times to count. I'm a fan of the sequels as well, although to a much lesser degree. I had seen sections of Live Free or Die Hard in recent months as the editorial office for the film was right next door to my office. Every glimpse of the movie I saw felt a bit off and felt far removed from the first three films. Obviously the PG-13 rating was a huge warning sign, but aside from that the biggest concern I had with the footage is that the characters and situations felt like they would be more at home in a Jason Statham movie.
My biggest gripe with Die Hard 4.0 is the completely forgettable lineup of villains. Timothy Olyphant never feels like a threat to McClane and lacks any of the charm that made Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons so fun to watch. Maggie Q is a pretty face and little else (not to mention the attempt at the relationship between her character and Olyphant's was completely laughable). Oh and there's also a character who thinks he's Spider-Man.
On a technical level the movie is a mixed bag. The special effects are well done throughout although a bit too reliant on computer wizardry instead of old fashioned pyrotechnics. Where you really notice the PG-13 rating is in the exclusion of bits of dialogue that will likely appear on the unrated dvd. It's a mess to watch as you'll see a character's mouth moving and they cut to a wide shot and there's no dialogue to be heard. At other times the ADR lines are put in shots where the character's mouth is not moving. The editing out of the language made me feel like I was watching a stillborn version of Die Hard 2 on TNT.
McClane gets a bit bloodied and bruised over the course of the movie, but despite some rather long falls he gets up and walks away like he's the T-1000. It's a far cry from the bloody feet in the original and at no point during the 2 hour + running time do you actually feel like McClane is vulernable.
I'm exhausted from just thinking about this movie.
They cut the balls of off Die Hard.
Dammit.
