I like the first 3 Die Hard films, great examples of how no brainer action films should be done. So I approached this with a certain expectation. Damn did I get let down. Watered down, for a lower rating, this lacks everything that made the earlier films so much fun. They even trim MClaines catchphrase down, what the fuck is that about? That Tim Elephant bloke is unconvincing and unscarey, and has seemingly had a charisma bypass. Maybe he should watch Alan Rickman in the first one, that's how to play the badguy. Interesting to see Kevin Smith in a film he didn't make, although he's playing a Star Wars obsessed nerd, so it's hardly a stretch for him. With the wet action, and missing swearing, it's just boring.
