Live Free or Die Hard (2007) - Otherwise Known as Die Hard 4...and No, It Wasn't a Movie About New Hampshire

Bruce Willis is returns to the character that made him a movie star in this 4th installment of the Die Hard series. Hollywood is finally starting to learn how to make a good sequel...it started with Rocky Balboa...this time, Die Hard 4 proves to be a better movie than Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance and finds itself as my second favorite Die Hard movie!

The writers really put the character in a situation that fits the rest of the series as cyberterrorists hold America hostage...the task of stopping them falls to the man who couldn't use a fax machine (in Die Hard 2), didn't have a cell phone (in the original), and in this one, doesn't know anything about computers and the Internet. That's where Justin Long comes in (the Apple commerical Mac Guy)...who offsets the gruff character of McClane with his updated humor...the two of them compliment each other perfectly. And for those annoyed that the McClane family was left out of Die Hard 3...daughter Lucy McClane makes an appearance (or two...or three) and is perfectly acted by Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a combination of Bruce Willis' character and Bonnie Bedilia's Holly Gennaro from the first two films. Lastly...the appearance of Kevin Smith in a role that had to be written for him. Genius.

The only distraction in this film that made it difficult to remember that it was a Die Hard movie was the absence of Bruce Willis' hair. It sounds stupid, and I know...people will be saying that about pictures of me in a few years too...but otherwise, this was a fantastic sequel and every Die Hard fan should go see it.

Most people laugh when you tell them that you watch WWE Wrestling. But only the WWE would kill of the chairman of the board for the sake of a publicity stunt. At least that's what I hope they're doing.
