Are the two die hards after ā€œWith a vengeanceā€ any good? I picked up the first three because they were on sale for $4.99 each on iTunes. As are the other 2 but I rarely hear anything about them.

A good day to die hard aka DH5 is horrible. It has Jai Courtney as the son, no memorable action scenes.

Live Free or Die Hard is awesome. Motherfucker almost dies so many god damn times but ain’t nobody can kill his ass. And when he fucks that helicopter up :rofl:

Yea I like Die Hard 4. Its not the best one but it’s still fun. John McClain is a super hero in it tho lol.

I heard Die Hard 5 was fucking terrible.

Die Hard 1 & 4 are the best.

2 & 3 see good.

5 is SF5 looking in a mirror: stone.cold.awful.

Yes, Medusa.

For me It’s 1>3>4>2.

3 is trifle too slow, not enough happening.

This despite Sam Jack.

I’ve always get the opposite. I love 3. Not much happens in an action sense but a lot is still happening

I prefer to pretend that Die Hard ended at part 2. After that the plots become absurd enough to make the plot of 1994’s ā€˜Speed’ seem reasonable.

Again. Action movies don’t have to have coherent or even good plots to be considered good to people. Some people just like the escapism and popcorn action they provide.

It’s why so many people like the Fast and Furious movies. Who fucking cares if the story and stunts are outlandish? They’re the fun and the characters that are involved with them are fun.

When it comes to action movies. I don’t expect or even really want a good plot. I just want nice to look at action and fun characters.

After Die Hard 3…I could see Bruce Willis gave no fucks.

As long as they’re not filled with super annoying characters ,convoluted plots, and poop jokes like Bay’s Transformers ,I’m willing to give it a chance.

John Wick 1 and 2
Fast and Furious 5-8
Raid 1 and 2
Die Hard 1
T1 and T2
Aliens
True Lies
Predator
Cap 2 and Cap 3
Mask of Zorro

The first Bourne movie is one of my favorite action movies cause of the characterization of Jason Bourne and the soundtrack. Plus I’m a sucker when movies have other languages than English

I agree. I still listen to Extreme Ways by Moby from time to time.

Demolition Man is fucking great. It’s so cheesy and ridiculous but like…Stallone, Snipes, Bullock, Dennis Leary, even god damn mother fucking Rob Schneider.

I mean you can’t ask for a perfect mix of action and comedy but still play the movie off as completely serious

Shazam was awesome. Not too big into DC properties, but came away impressed. Didn’t have expectations going in.

Demolition Man is a GOAT movie.
