Live Free or Die Hard(dir. Len Wiseman)
I don't understand why more action movies aren't getting made and released. This film feels neutured. The blood and gore is rather restrainted while explosions are left and right. The most ridiculously entertaining part was the fight between John and the woman. I wish there were more scenes like that. The parts with no action kind of drag and the antagonist isn't very threatening. These are minor flaws compared to the censoring of John's signature one-liner: yippy kay yay motherfucker. That is unforgiveable because that's such a staple of the series and is usually the pay off to all these outlandish action scenes. I have to give it credit for going over the top with some of the scenes. The bloodless deaths just kind of took me out of the experience and most of the action scenes are cartoonish so it is hard to feel suspensful even though they were ridiculously entertaining. It was definately a fun, but flawed film.
*** out of ****
