From the trailer it looks like it's gone back to good old shooty violence like the first one.
I hope this is true and it's not like the 2nd one which was cak

I saw it last night.
I'm THE biggest Die Hard fan ever. (Probably)
I'd give this film a 7.
Compared to:
Die Hard - 10
Die Hard 2 - 6
Die Hard 3 - 9
It had some great parts, the cinema laughed and oooooo'ed a lot through out the film, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so why a 7?
Firstly, it was violent enough for me. The 15 certificate is unbelievable. I'd NEVER have given that a 15 in a million, million, million years.
Secondly, the pace was frantic, the hacker spiel was (just about) acceptable, the characters were played to perfection - great acting off everyone (Except Tuvoc? from Star Trek - he just looked out of place in the film), and finally, it was funny.
So again, why the 7.
The writers made a fatal error (3 times).
John Mclane is the man. Why?
He's an ordinary man put in unbelievable situations, who survives, and wins due to two things:
1) He's rock hard.
2) He has "bond vision" - that ability to see things quickly and use them to his advantage - using street smarts and being observant he wins through.
Unfortunately in this film (3 times) he does something that just isn't John Mclane - At one stage he's fighting an F-15 with a Lorry.
Enough said.
Go there, disengage brain, and enjoy.
Die Hard 1 it ain't.
yippee-ki-yay
Sounds like a good 'un and I'll be watching this in my white, bloodstained vest at the weekend

Just edited thread title to warn of the possibilty of spoilers... cos I ain't seen it yet!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it! RIght after that gas plant blows up?
There's a difference?
*awaits geek rage*
yes
Vodka
Oh it can take off vertically. Can the F15 do that?
yea then , and also when they were running through woodlawn, and when they went to see the warlock...
the f15 cant take off vertically, what you saw the f35 do in the film it actually can do in real life, flying wise i mean...
It could also probably nail that truck from 3 miles away. But since when was die hard about realism?
exactly, thats what makes it die hard... i loved how it made computer programming and coding and stuff look so glamourous... quite the opposite of what my java lectures and exams were like

I fully disagree with that statement.It could also probably nail that truck from 3 miles away. But since when was die hard about realism?
Die Hard WAS about realism. It was an action film, with an average joe in place of a super hero / trained killing machine / robot. There wasn't too much unrealistic about Die Hard 1, that was the beauty of it. Pure Grit, Common Sense, and quick thinking got Maclane through - not taking on F1355000's.
Accepted. Should read as "since when has a modern action film been about realism?" As for the film. I enjoyed it on it's own merits but as a die hard sequel it wasn't what I was hoping for.
As I was saying to my mates afterwards. That scene with the jet, you could have just replaced john maclane with james bond, XXX or any modern action hero that doesn't wear pants outside his trousers.
