With a title like that, what could be wrong with the movie? ;) I could blame it on the two guys I was with who wanted to see the fourth installment...but I have to admit that I got a kick out of the first two Die Hard's, despite the less than pristine language, so they didn't really have to twist my arm.

The theater was packed yesterday, so much so that we had to sit in the second row...for about two minutes. As it turned out I couldn't see squat at that angle so I decided to sit by myself further up. I found a space between two ladies and proceeded to join them in laughing my way through most of the film.

There are some great one-liners that you're supposed to laugh at, and some fantastically ludicrous action sequences that maybe you're not...but overall it was an entertaining romp. There was language, including McClane's ubiquitous catch-phrase, as well as violence that wasn't quite as gory as I remember from the second one.

I had a couple moments of seriousness while watching, including the sickening realization that the evil dude's plot wasn't completely far-fetched. I won't give it away, but he made ample use of the generation that spawned those who thought it was "cool" when the planes crashed into the WTC. A generation so used to violent movies and video games, so used to retakes and compromises, that they don't always understand the moral consequences of their actions.

If I allow the boys to drag me to Transformers I'll have another review this week. ;)
