Movie Review: Die Hard: With A Vengeance

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fucker!

Really, Die Hard? You're going to give John McClaine a side kick? Furthermore, you're going to make Samuel L. Jackson his side kick? Really?

It was a good movie. Fun to watch.

I don't like that it took place in New York City. Like, I could see that happening, but the city is so crazy as it is... it gets rather confusing when you add craziness to an already crazy city.

When the bad guys started taking over, I just got confused. When the train incident in the subway happened and all the commotion around that, it's got confusing. But 30 minutes later I understood.

Another problem I have with this movie is the racism. Really? Was that really necessary. Why does Samuel L. Jackson always play a racist. It was very irritating.

And then, the bad guy. Who's the bad guy in this one? The BROTHER of the villain in the first one. Really? You're going to play the 'brother seeking revenge' card, are you? Lame. That's just showing how desperate you are for a story. If you need to use that card, then you probably shouldn't make the movie. At least until you have something more solid. The only thing I like about this series (as in when it refers to previous movies from the series) is that John McClaine is well known for what he did in the first one and that doesn't help in certain situations. It's brought up numerous times in Die Hard 2 and this film.

Next on my agenda is to review the 4th one...
