Those monsters, they did it, they killed Die Hard, screw them. How do you ruin Die Hard? It’s a fairly simple to make a Die hard movie, and yet they clearly put no effort into making this an even remotely good sequel.
The action sequence at the end is kind of fun, but the movie is poorly written so much so that the entire second act is nearly incomprehensible. Then at the end the audience isn’t very invested in what’s going on so the action sequence, no matter how well staged, feels tedious.
They try to create a relationship between McLain and his son, which is a good idea, but (again) is ruined by the awful awful script. This script was pretty much an unfinished product and needed a few more rewrites before it could be considered a finished product.
I am a huge Die Hard fan, (a die hard Die Hard fan if you will) and I honestly didn’t think it was possible for their to be a bad Die Hard movie until I saw this, it is a disgrace to the name John McLain.
I honestly hope that this movie makes a lot of money, not because it’s good, but because I do not want this to be the last Die Hard.
