A Good Day To Die Hard
My movie pick for this week was the new Die Hard. Considering I've seen the first Die Hard movie about 800ish times and the second one about half that and the 3rd and 4th a considerable amount also there was no way I was going to skip this one.
The most shocking thing to me about this movie was how short it was!
Die Hard was released in 1988 and was 131 minutes long
Die Hard 2 was released in 1990 and was 124 minutes long
Die Hard With a Vengeance was released in 1995 and was 131 minutes long
Live Free Or Die Hard was released in 2007 and was 128 minutes long
and finally A Good Day To Die Hard was released February 14th 2013 and is a whopping 97 minutes long!!
That is soooooo much shorter than all the other movies it caught me by surprise. I was all comfy in my theatre seat (well as comfy as you can be in those) and ready for a nice long action movie starring Bruce Willis and it was over before people finished their popcorn! I do have to point out that there really wasn't much dialogue going on in this movie. There would be some big awesome action scenes and then they would make Bruce Willis say something really deep and considerate out of the blue. At times that just felt kind of awkward. This was a good father son movie though for sure! If you wanted to do something with your dad it would be a good time.
This movie definitely didn't have the same feel as the first and second Die Hard movies and I would say they are as good as the order they were made in. The first Die Hard is obviously the best and will never be topped and they gradually get less good as they keep making them.
With all this said, if you are a Die Hard "die hard" like me you should definitely go see this on the big screen if nothing else for the explosions!
