You know I was kinda iffy about this one but damn was I surprised after watching it. Its pretty much the same plot from the other Die Hards just more computer hackers and stuff in it. But I dunno something about it just made it awesome. Its one of those movies with a lot of "Hell Yeah!" moments in them. Very enjoyable in the theatre and the crowd really was into it, hell I was too rooting for McClane to Kill the bad guys and wreck and or blow up cars in various ways. Pure Popcorn flick. I think it fits well with the rest of the series even though they went a bit overboard like the whole highway overpass part that was freaking crazy and over the top but awesome. I was worried about the PG13 rating but I was surprised. I dont think they toned anything down really they still cussed up a storm per usual and lots of bad guy killing.
Heres basically how things went down.

Oh noes hackers!

Proceeds to whoop *** for rest of the movie with the following occuring in no particular order.

and lots of

They even threw in a Russan Ninja for McClane to fight. Ok I dunno if he was a ninja or Russian for that matter(they werent clear on where they were from) ,but he sure had ninja moves.
repeat till end


roll credits.
So basically violence, one liners, a high body count with high explosives and firearms solves everything which it did pretty much and made one hell of a fun movie to watch. The only thing that kinda irked me was the Kevin Smith cameo I mean I can appreciate the movies hes made but I dunno. Im sure how they portrayed most of the hackers besides the main bad guy was pretty sterotypical OMG LIVES WITH MOM LOL BASEMENT! and the whole hey I can outhack you by hacking what you hacked with my fanny pack full of computer stuff and a fold out keyboard. On that note the dude from the mac vs pc commercials was pretty cool as McClane's sidekick abit cliche he was basically the same character that Seth Green Played in the remake of The Italian Job but oh well.
Lets list some of the cliches.
