I consider 2 to be the weakest. Hans set a precedent that Die Hard has a villain who can rival the hero in presence and Die Hard 2 definitely didn't have that. I liked having Hitman as the villain in the 4th movie.

Anyway, this movie strikes me as supremely unnecessary. I'll still see it of course.

However, instead of Die Hard sequels, how about they get started on The Fifth Element 2?

At least we're not stuck in NYC anymore. It was fun the first time around. We got to see John set loose in his element (and he's in just as deep shit as when he's OUT of his element!).

But LFODH didn't feel like Die Hard, really, just a Chuck Norris film with patriotism and explosions.

[up]You do realize only one Die Hard movie(of the four) took place in NYC, right?

The first three Die Hard film titles become much more hilarious if you replace "Die" with "Guy".

New trailer and poster

Doesn't too bad (yay for Mary Elizabeth Winstead cameo)

but the tagline of the poster is bound to annoy plenty "Yippi kiyay Mother Russia"

I'm on Youtube Reviewing Things Cause I can.

Maybe in this one, John might survive getting a rocket launcher to the chest.

It will be interesting to see someone who can really keep pace with John(though considering how long he's been doing this, it may be that he's slowed down to same level as his son, which is probably still pretty impressive).

Zeus did alright, but wasn't really an actiony guy, and the kid from live free really just stayed out of the way(though it took balls to turn those guys down when they tried to strong arm him by threatening Mclane's daughter).

In order from best to worst:

Die Hard

Die Hard 3

Die Hard 4

Die Hard 2

They're all awesome, but 2 is definitely the weakest. 3 and 4 are very, very close, but I went with 3 because Jeremy Irons was great.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Edit: [up]x4 Best. Tagline. Ever.

The Die Hard after this one has to have the son, the daughter and Holly Gennero in it. Family reunion and all that.

The tagline.
Dear god, that is awesome. They came up with the tagline first, and built the movie around it.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

I was underwhelmed by the trailer. Maybe it's because they didn't really show that much beyond "John McClane is on vacation in Russia and meets his two kids. Also, fanservice and explosions."

I've only seen the first film, which is a really good action film.

Die Hard is the best Christmas Movie of all time.

A Good Day To Die Hard will be the best Valentine's Day movie of all time.

I'm surprised none of the movies have been called Die Hardest.
