Quote:Pretty much everything that happened in Die Hard was realistic. Unlikely, yes, but within the realm of possibility.
Quote:The ads for the new movie are full of scenes that are so far over the top, I just have to roll my eyes. "Killing" the helicopter with the car, ducking between the cars and miraculously avoiding the car flipping through the air, etc.
Quote:The Indiana Jones movies had the same problem. Raiders of the Lost Ark had some far-fetched action scenes, but everything seemed plausible. Temple of Doom started out so over the top with the dining room scene, but when they fell out of the plane in the raft, landed on the mountain, and slid down, it was just ridiculously over the top and lost me.
Quote:Suspending disbelief is fun. But most action films these days just require entirely too much suspension. The exception: the Bourne movies.

I guess some people(well, almost everybody) haven't interest to this sequel. But I was waiting for this one for a long time. "DIE HARD 3" wasn't good(at least, for me). I hope this "4.0" is better than "3".
