As ever, an action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously (unlike the drivel of Taken2) and comes across as great fun and escapism. The plot was scant, the twists foreseen but the two main actors worked well together. The lack of F-word and other swearing wasa noticeable, and pleasent, change. Missed the yippee-ky-yay though! Worth seeing and not disappointing!
Pros well paced, great fun, good action, great effects
Cons thin story, foreseeable twists
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have to say that I was shocked when I found out 9 months ago that another "Die Hard" movie was in the works. In 2007 when "Live Free or Die Hard" opened Bruce Willis indicated that this would be the last installment in the "Die Hard" franchise. So here we are in 2013 and 25 years after the first "Die Hard" we are being enticed by yet another installment. In this 5th Installment John McCain (Bruce Willis) is going to Russia on vacation, but instead he finds himself fresh off his flight having to try to get his grown son Jack (Jai Courtney) who is a CIA operative out of hot water. McCain isn't aware that his son is a CIA operative, he thinks Jack is a criminal. Things get real dicey. The story unfolds from there... There is non-stop action, violence, and mayhem. There is no less than 100 cars that get blown-up or destroyed in this movie, along with some really HUGH helicopters. The stunts that are performed are so preposterous that there is no way a human being could survive any of what you see. The plot is... oh wait there is no plot, at least not one you can sink your teeth into. You are never sure of whom the bad guy or guys are. The best thing about "A Good Day to Die Hard" is that it shows well in IMAX and you get to see some scenic views of Russia. In fact if you are going to waste your money you should see it in IMAX. You need the full effect. I am very disappointed. I really liked the 2007 installment "Live Free or Die Hard". I actually own it on DVD. Out of all 5 installments, the first and fourth were the best. "A Good Day to Die Hard" should have been left on the cutting room floor. These installments do make money for 20th Century Fox, so I am sure we will be treated to a 6th installment in a couple of years.
Pros lots of action
Cons bad dialogue, no plot
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Weak story but very good special effects, maybe the next one should be a prequel to showing a very young John McClean and how he leads up to Die Hard 1 in LA. The current stories are over played, predictible and not that interesting considering the great special effects.
Pros special effects
Cons predictible
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Glad it was a good day to die hard, because it did. If that is where they are in story ideas and dialogue, then they made one too many. I am very disappointed.
Cons bad acting, bad script, no storyline, just plain rotten, one sequel too many
No, I do not recommend this movie.
