To be fair it's impossible to put enough. Live Free felt fun in spite of itself, where the last one was just pure and utter horseshit for every single frame.

2 is like if your dad had five minutes to write the plot of die hard on a cocktail napkin

that said it's still pretty watchable if you ignore how loving dumb it is compared to the first one

The fifth installment is always the worst installment of a series and I suspect any series that survives a part 5 can go on to live an eternal lifetime of quiet forgettable mediocrity

Rocky
Die Hard
Death Wish
Friday the 13th (I disagree with this because I think it's a way funnier movie than the rest but mouthbreathing Jason fans hate it)
Star Wars Attack of the Clones

I know there are others where part 5 is a huge nosedive in quality but I can't think of them off the top of my head, Die Hard 5 is maybe the worst part 5 I've ever seen in my life though

I really hope they ever finish making Rambo 5 because it'll be hilariously bad and I suspect the new terminator will follow suit

lmaoooo I knew dubbed for network TV movies were always considered notoriously bad but this is far worse than any parody of it ever made it out to be

did they get someone new to dub him every single time he had a line of dialog jesus chris hahahah

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

The original ending was better than what we actually got.

Somebody got a bug up their rear end about this ending so they had to spend a bunch of money making a new one.

die hard 3 is a terrific movie

pretty soft girl
Oct 1, 2004

I think the only reason I rate 2 higher than 4 is it was more memorable to me, I can't remember anything about 4 other than it being mediocre but maybe I need to watch the R rated cut, I haven't seen it since it was in theaters. really though die hard is a bit like the james bond movies in that they're generally as good as their antagonists are and if they fail to be memorable that's a big problem

1 - Hans Gruber is a top ten ranking antagonist out of any movie ever made, easily, plus Karl, the nerdy hacker guy, the American at the front desk, and pretty much the entirety of the FBI if you count them. even throwaway bad guys like Al Leong's character or Karl's brother manage to be really memorable
2 - That Cuban dictator is kinda forgettable and I'm having a hard time remembering what the other bad guy's motive even was. The defecting military guy ("I'm your kind of rear end in a top hat") was pretty good, Dennis Franz was memorable
3 - Jeremy Irons is pretty great and charming as a Gruber
4 - some nerdy hacker guy and I think there was a chinese kung fu lady too
5 - ????????????????

also yes the series should have either ended here or continued on with john mcclane as a disgraced ex-cop. maybe have him end up as some fuckin' sad sack rent-a-cop working security who has to foil a terrorist plot at an amusement park or something, like in three ninjas high noon at mega mountain aka. die hard 2 for kids

couldn't be any worse than sending him to russia (???) in 2013 instead of back in the 80s when it might've been relevant (?????????)
