Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection 5 Disc (Blu-ray) + Reward Code for "A Good Day to Die Hard" Admission $25 + Free Shipping

Quote from PyRo1509 : A Good Day To Die Hard is complete crap. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and give the ticket code to your worst enemy. http://havingsaidthat.net/2013/02...-die-hard/

Hate to say it, but I have to agree: the new movie was awful. I was thoroughly disappointed with it. The review linked above covers it pretty thoroughly. In short, the movie's plot is so nonsensical as to spoil the fun of copious gunfire and gratuitous explosions.

I have a pretty high tolerance for suspending disbelief, but I just couldn't sit through this movie without thinking: "This is totally dumb." Not trying to rain on anyone's parade; just trying to warn you what you're in for.

Saw the movie last night...Not as bad as everyone says it is...I was entertained but I am not that picky.

Quote from demisemi : The screencaps of the Predator look fine too me. That was what made me disregard the review and give the movie a try.

I'm sure pretty much everyone loves Predator so I hope you don't think anyone is trashing the movie by being honest about a poor release. We should be more critical with beloved genre classics like Predator (and Die Hard), and expect them to get top-quality releases instead of cheap cash-ins - something Fox has a poor track record with, compared to other studios like Warner Bros, Disney, Sony, etc).

In Predator's case, the UHEd reviews are doubly relevant since there is an earlier, better (but still not great) version of Predator available with filmic detail intact.

Sorry for the longish post. Not trying to be argumentative, just want to set the record straight.

Quote from hubie12 : I'm definitely not too old for this sh*t.

Isn't that a Lethal Weapon quote??!

Quote from PluralAces : I'll buy it without the admission code, A Good Day to Die Hard was reallly bad compared to the other die hards...

Quote from Adaman : Did you see that article that the part almost went to Frank Sinatra? What the hay. Then again I didn't really read the article. Die Hard 2 sucked pretty hard. The rest are all pretty good with the first movie being the best one far and away. NAKATOMI PLAZA!

Quote from momomchine : I was SO pumped for 'Good Day'. I was gonna watch it on Sunday. The reviews are so thoroughly awful though that I'm reconsidering: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a..._die_hard/ Sigh. Good deal though.

Quote from xAnimal : Just saw "A Good Day to Die Hard".... Not worth any sum of money.....

Did you guys enjoy Live Free or Die Hard? I did. I was pumped to see this movie but people seem to be shitting on it. I will still see it regardless. Honestly I always thought Die Hard 2 was the worst.

I did not really enjoy LForDH. I'm a pretty big Die Hard fan. Seen each of the first 3 movies at least 20 times each. I agree that #2 is my least favorite of the 3. I think the Order of my liking is Die Hard 1, Die Hard 3, Die Hard 2, Live Free or Die Hard, The Hottie and the nottie, and A good day to die hard.

I do like the switch in die hard 2. I never really saw the army guys being bad until it happened.

Live Free or Die Hard was okay. Not great, but not terrible either. It was at least coherent, from what I can recall.

For me, the new movie was unignorably bad. I know it's an action flick, so I wasn't expecting Oscar-worthy acting or beautiful cinematography, and I afforded it suspended disbelief because I enjoy explosions and gunfights on screen as much as the next guy. But I did expect a nominally reasonable plot to explain why the bad guys are being bad or why so much stuff is blowing up. And this movie did not deliver that.

There's plenty of gunfire and explosions and damage, sure. If that's all you care about, and you don't mind a plot that has you asking "Wait, why would he do that?" or thinking "That was entirely ridiculous and totally unbelievable" several times throughout, then by all means, go for it. You'll probably enjoy it. But if that's the case, you might as well watch one of those "craziest car wrecks" or "natural disasters caught on tape" shows on TV or YouTube.

I don't want to spoil the movie for people who plan on seeing it, so I'm avoiding going into specifics. I generally consider myself pretty forgiving on movies, and this one stuck out as particularly bad. It's one of a small handful of movies I would actually tell people to not even bother watching. That's my opinion. Hope this helps.

Yeah I mean for me it just boils down to how ridiculous the plot really is. Probably seeing it this weekend.
