    John McClane comes back and comes back stronger and tougher than ever in this intense and supremely entertaining "Die Hard" sequel.

    Excellent movie full of action and incredible tempo from start to finish. Bruce is looking great for his age! We only get to see a bit of the vest though! Justin hacks into a high security system only to discover that there is a terrorist organisation who is shutting down the sta...( read more)tes - electric, gas supplies etc. Bruce and Justin team up to catch the bad guys. Great special effects.

    There is way too much CGI in this film, I want to see old school stunts. The F15 ending was also a bit of a True Lies rip off. I don't think it was as good as the first three and it?s a thumbs down for me! He can't even say motherfucker anymore. Pah!

    WoW ! Fantastique !!! Un film ak des hackers informatiques et de l'actions à la tonnes. Quoi demander de plus ?!?? Rien ! Il ne suffit que de rajouter une ou deux p'tites scènes impossibles avec un mec dure comme fer qui ne se blesse jamais, mais ca c'est courant dans tous les fi...( read more)lms non ? Ya simplement le jet qui bouge comme si cétait une mouche dans le ciel et qui réussi à ce placer entre la route et le viaduc, et un camion semi-remorque sur le coté qui retombe sur ses roues en un seul coup de volant. Le reste, c'était GÉANT !!!

    Va s'y Bruce, t'est l'meilleur !!! <3

    P.S.: La "piole" du sorcier est trop malade !!! 0_o !!! C'est une comme ca que je veux :D !!!

    Excellente continuité de la série! Pas facile de mettre une vieille série au couleur du jour. Bravo !!

    thoroughly enjoyed this movie by the time the credits started rolling! I was like the other skeptics. "PG-13??? YIPPIE KAY YAY MOTHER-FATHER?" If you go into this movie knowing it's not going to be Nakatomi Tower, or With a Vengeance, you can save yourself a lot of whining. Die H...( read more)ard 2, to the fans, was not a very good movie. THIS ONE makes up for it! There's wasn't much potty language, but realistically, I don't think anybody had any time to drop any F-bombs on account of them having to constantly dodge the real ones. At first the dynamic between McClane and the Mac Geek seems a little "ah here we go again, clash of the generations", and it doesn't seem like a real Die Hard movie until about 30 minutes into it, but once we start recognizing Shoe-less John, a lot of that goes away! The hacker stuff seems to get sort of hokey, at times, but a lot of Die Hard fans won't have trouble letting that slide since John couldn't be bothered with it; he's too busy kickin' ass and takin' names! The action scenes keep you on the edge of your seat at all times. This is definitely the next level of action flicks (best since Casino Royale). Some of the blows McClane delivers are so intense, even Chester A. Arthur felt them.

    There's no rehashing of old characters to forcefully remind you it's a Die Hard flick. That means no Sgt. Al Powell, no Zeus, no Holly Gennero side story, no Inspector Cobb, hell, not even a Gruber family member! Also, there's no jurisdictional cliché argument he had with the LA cop or Airport Cop from the sequel we all like to pretend never happened.

    Trust me, by the time he says "Yippie Kay Yay..." your jaw will drop! A MUST SEE for Die Hard fans!

Armond White, The New York Press

To call this the best Die Hard movie ever made merely acknowledges that Director Len Wiseman simplifies the franchise to its basic elements: Predicament, Villain, Hero, Action. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim

More fireworks than any other film this summer. Bruce is back in the one role that fits him like a glove. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Terrific entertainment, and startlingly shrewd in the bargain, a combination of minimalist performances -- interestingly minimalist -- and maximalist stunts that make you laugh, as you gape, at their ... full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Willis' John McClane, with that sly, sideways smile, is like an old acquaintance you don't mind running into. He may be older and balder, but he's none the worse for the wear. And he can still take a ... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

If your sense of the credible isn't awfully flexible, you're the wrong audience for movies like this. The nonsense bounces along at such a breathless clip that most viewers should willingly give the i... full review

Live Free or Die Hard gets the action job done and you better believe that Bruce is still the man. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

It's the movie equivalent of a cop on the eve of retirement: he knows what he has to do, and he gets it done. But his heart isn't really in it anymore. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

This fourth installment in the franchise delivers when it comes to kick-butt, action-packed mayhem but bogs down focusing on key characters staring at computer screens, typing madly on keyboards or sp... full review

    After a lengthy hiatus, Bruce Willis return to the role that made him a film star proves satisfying in a way that only these kinds of popcorn movies can. John McClane might have lost his hair, but he has certainly retained that trademark attitude. It doesn't quite measure up to the earlier films, but the fourth entrant still includes most of the components that have made this a popular series. The stunts, particularly those involving moving vehicles, are impressive to behold. Justin Long may not be a sidekick who equals Samuel L. Jackson from part 3, but he at least seems to understand what is expected of him, namely to inject some humor into the movie and provide a contrast to Willis' heroic Everyman.

    The film is awesome it is well acted, considering Bruce's age, and the other actors played their part well too, I do hope that they bring out another sequel, because it would be amazing to see
