                 A Good Day To Watch Die Hard "Die Hard"

Ok: so this is my first blog/review in 2 years ive been busy lol. But i am a huge Die Hard Fan ever since 1988 when i was a 13 year old fat kid --there have been 4 Die Hard movies and i enjoyed them all - They are all just complete action/fun . so iwas a lil skeptical going into this new Die Hard as the Last Die Hard--Called Live Free --Sorta took John Mcclain out of the confined element and into the world of politics and USA government Redderick ---and seeing the trailers for this new Die Hard of being in russia sorta urked me but i was still all in ---So i went to a 10pm Wensday Showing and heres my review: Spoiler Alert

    The Lights go up and the action starts right away After The blatent Obama Headshot In Mcclains Office  as we dont have to learn much about character development since we know all these characters or Do we--- first of did Holly Generro Die where is she and Did John & Holly Have A Boy --i ddint remeber that stuff from earlier films --plus the son is like 25 years young and in the CIA --wouldnt hanz gruber or his family members have known that when chasing the mcclains throught the years ---so mclain visits russia to see his son who is being put on trail for a hired murder and to testify --against russian nuclear men from chernobyl ----so yes an action filled escape happens right when John Mcclain Get There as his son is helping the russian Refugee escape the russin judges --Mclain blindly follows and helps his son and the Nuke Man escape --The so called russian military or death squad --an amazing fun filled car chase ensues --where mcclain throws in his usual Die Hrd Yells Of jokes --im on vacation --or why am i here --etc.. makes no sense in these moments --as he went to peril to see his son --as it didint just happen --he traveled to it --so some of the die hard mythology is already missing in my eyes...

  they make it to a safe house to plan there next moves and ofcourse worse gets worser -they have been followed --really?  son and dad yell at each other about why this is happining and whats going on --etc.. etc..
they must go on a mission to help the nuke man get a file that will save all their heads --from the military --all while mcclain son is working for the american CIA --who was helping him in the begining and just left him in the cold --i guess-they just dissapered off screen --so they must travel to chernobyl to get this file for the old nuke man --so son and dad start the adventure --of learning and loving each other again --while getting ready --but oops the old mans daughter turns on him and helps kidnapp him for the military thugs --who might i add all had amzing action figure traites like --bald--muscaler-blond mohawk-asian-tatoos--they were made so the screen can  differentiate them while there being killed LOL-- and the main bad guy was a Javier Bardam Rip Off --he danced and talked alot and ate a carrot while about to excute John & His Son-he didnt even sound russian --ok --Ofcourse they kidnapp the Old Nuke Man and John & His Son escape --in another amazing building action sequence --which makes me wonder what the first Die Hard Woulda Looked Like with all these Amazing Fun Filled CGI effects --and the original Die Hard Charm --WOW

But sadly this is a bad rehash of a Franchise --so they all end up in chernobyl were Radiation Is Still Everywhere --but somehow the Government or science has invented a liquid that kills radiation so they dont have to be in radiation suits---all the time --Only so they can shoot up shit -- its reveled that the old nuke man has stashed uranium (unobtainium) LOL in the vault in hopes of using it in Weapons Of Mass Destruction--and its a triple cross the nuke man --had help from his daughter to escape with the help of Johns CIA Son and get this whole thing in Motion --didint see that coming (Yeah Right) --so now John & His Son are all alone in this attempt to stop these mad Nuke People from destroying the world--but john and no one will get radiation poisoning thanks to that futuristic liquid --and where the fuck is the russion and American satellites following this shit --we have drones and men placed everywhere -- so know where at the climax of the film --and i thought to myself no one was kidnapped in mcclain family as per the originals,and john is not confined to one small place --as per the first 2 --and no die hard cameos---so its feeling less like a die hard but a wannabe 007 --with Bruce Willis --

An amazing Battle for the uranium ensues --all the action in this movie is just amazing --crazy fun --the mcclains save the day --and wont have radaiation or any help from america i guess--the movie ends with a family reunion of the mcclains --But no Holly -Or anyone --i mean anyone --like cops or cia --wow

in conclussion this was a russian action movie on a hollywood scale with bruce willis & Die Hard in name but in None of the spirit --There truly Was No intriguing Story--or continuity from the originals --so beyond the IMAX sound and Action Experiance i Loved -- This movie cemented the fact That the Film I Loved when i was 13 has matured and sold out --This movie Does Die Hard --and it hurts --RIP Die Hard 1 -4 

ok friends ----SEE YOU ALL SOON --HEYBOWER.COM

  1. Awesome review Michael. This film almost felt "forced" and it felt like there was not much thought put into it, especially the script. McClane is known for his famous one-liners but this film just goes over the top with them and repeats old ones.
