Best Movie Review I Have Read In a While

Live Free Or Die Hard in the Glob / Ty Burr My favorite passage: "Willis with hair means acting. Willis bald gets to blow stuff up. This is what you want out of a "Die Hard" movie, even one whose title makes it sound like they shot it in downtown Nashua." A+

"Kevin Smith , the "Clerks " director and, increasingly, an indie-cred muppet for studio movies" Isn't bad either...

Not a bad review. Probably not watching the movie, though.

Yeah - I know - you avoid the "technique" movies ;)

I stopped reading when he dissed the 3rd movie. That's the best one.

The first is great. The second is garbage. I agree with you, in a wierd way, the third one is really entertaining.

I thought it was odd that he hated on the Third, but I like Burr's style.

The third Die Hard is a complete disaster. If Irons wasn't in it, I wouldn't have sat thru it. No plot twists, no surprises. Garbage.

Nope.

Citing irreconcible differences on the preference of action films, I'm out!
