Die Hard: With a Vengeance<\/a>” dated 1995).\u00a0 With this new one be as good as those parts?\u00a0 Isn’t Bruce Willis too old for this?\u00a0 I had no clue, but follow-ups to some other films of the past proved to be worthy (*cough*Rambo*cough*) – that gave me hope.<\/p>\n“Live Free or Die Hard” turned out to be as good as the previous movies.\u00a0 And maybe even better.\u00a0 For one, special effects and the whole visual craft went a long way since John McClane had a gun in his hand.\u00a0 Even watching it on a 15″ screen gave me shivers sometimes.\u00a0 I imagine how impressive some of these scenes looked in the cinema!\u00a0 Sometimes, of course, it goes a bit too far – like in that scene with a fighter jet, truck, and bridge – but in action movies with Bruce, Sylvester, and Arnold it is always better to go a bit too far rather than not come close enough.<\/p>\n
Another thing that I was worried about before watching this film was the computer theme.\u00a0 The 4.0 is the title of the film suggested that there will be a lot about computers.\u00a0 Plus I saw the trailer, and it was obvious that we are back to square one with graphical user interfaces for searching, tools with progress bars for password breaking, and all sorts of communications, security, and general IT terminology.\u00a0\u00a0 Well, the computer side of the film was as bad as you can get it.\u00a0 But, on the other hand, it was so unrealistic from the very beginning, that I had no problems abstracting it away from the real life.\u00a0 Meaning that in my mind there was this natural separation of how computers work in real life and how they work in this particular movie.\u00a0 So that wasn’t a big problem.<\/p>\n
Overall, the film was very nicely done, entertaining and in the same mood as the previous ones.\u00a0 So I got what I expected and even more so.\u00a0 I’ll give it a firm 7 out of 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\nI just watched “Live Free or Die Hard” DVD, also known as “Die Hard 4.0”.\u00a0 I was trying to catch it in the cinema, but somehow that didn’t happen.\u00a0 I’m glad I finally caught up with it.
