It's the moment you've all been waiting with baited breath for. On July 6th, we will finally be able to enjoy the latest entry... it's been a long wait, but it's finally here.

That's right - Die Hard 4.0 comes out in British cinemas.

I am not a huge fan of the series myself. The first film was quite good, but the second one seemed really cack. As for the third one... well, I often get that one confused in my mind with Speed, so it can't be that good. Or that original, for that matter.

What is the deal with the revival of old film franchies anyway? We've had Rocky and Die Hard. There's a new Rambo movie in the works. It does seem to be largely action movies and "bloke" films, but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for a third Ghostbusters movie.

Anyway - Die Hard. Discuss!

There's been rumoured a new Ghostbusters game, at least.

As for Die Hard; I'm seven years too young to watch it, and for once, I'm glad of it. :p
Dunno why, people just don't recommend it to me that often, and the only way I'd be able to watch it now is if my Dad got it for some reason.

The first one is great. It defined Bruce Willis' stereotypical role as the drunk, antisocial cop that always gets into a hell of a mess.
Besides, Alan Rickman is THE best actor to play villains and his dying scene is awesome (same as in the 1991 Robin Hood movie).

The second is completely lousy. The typical bad sequel to cash in quick money.

The third, on the other hand, is quite good as it's hectic and funny due to the dialogues with Samuel L. Jackson.
The only exception here is the completely useless helicopter sequence at the Canadian border in the end.

I have a feeling that this kind of "bloke" movies have a revival now, because the Hollywood film industry always had a knack for distracting from current political problems with such patriotic flicks.

It's actually surprising that Rambo isn't going back to Afghanistan, this time to catch terrorists hidden in caves. I guess the script writers and producers have become a bit more subtle there.
Although, Burma isn't far away from Vietnam. :)

From what I hear, the new Rambo movie is basically Commando.

If you can write text on the internet without leet-speeching your'e old enough to watch movies.

Why they revive old movies and concepts is no secret. They are cowards. They know what has been popular before and therefor they know tickets will sell, no matter how bad the movie actually is.

Here's a list off the top of my head of such movies:

Starsky and Hutch, Lost in Space, Thunderbirds, All Disney sequals, Batman Begins, The next Batman movie, Spiderman 1,2 & 3, The Hulk, Fantastic Four 1&2, Superman: The Beginning, Aeon Flux, Dare Devil, Hell Boy, Ghost Rider, Catwoman, probably some newish Indiana Jones movie, James Bond (!).

Blegh, this is depressing. Video Game movies generally suck too, but it's not really revival of ancient stuff, except Tomb Raider, and maybe Blood Rayne, but that's Uwe Bolls fault.

The first one was great. Bruce Willis was good, Alan Rickman was amazing. The whole film was good.

The second one was weak. Not such a good story and flawed. Besides, it is rare sequels are as good as originals.

The third however, I have only seen once or twice and not all the way through (I've effectively seen it all, but only in two halves). It was better than the second by a long shot, but still not on the same level as the first.


I can't see much becoming of the fourth. I predict a strange storyline and lots of bizarre stunts and special effects.

The third film gets a bonus mark for having a water jugs puzzle.

I'd just like to ask;

Did anyone else, upon seeing the title, think this thread had something to do with the W:A Patch? Unless of course, you were all clever and realised who made the thread and where it was posted.

Mostly because I was not expecting a fourth Die Hard film at all.

I did. I assumed it would be a joke until I actually read the thread and realised it has nothing to do with Worms.

w00t! :D

I thought "worms or die hard?" as Id just seen giant posters throughout the town centre for die hard

So did I - I have this sudden desire to move this thread to the WA forum :p

Go for it!
If you have the power, move it to the announcement sub-forum. ;)

The title made me think about W:A's update! Curse thee!

I doubt Spadge would like that - I could move the thread in, but can't move stuff out of Announcements.

So edit the content of all the posts so it's about WA then? :p

Yes! and change the title to: 4.0 does not come out on July 6th! :rolleyes:

It's almost as if it was intentional!

I did actually consider posting this in the WA forum, but I thought that would be pushing my luck :)

Are you sure? Yeah, it's on the list, but certainly I've never dared try it.

If you try to create a new thread in announcements, a scary message appears D:

Damn you, tricking me here with the link in your sig. On topic, I do agree with everyone that the first movie was the best though I've only seen bits of the 2nd and 3rd movies.

DAMN IT, I thought you were talking about WA v4.0.

Haha! I win, for I had no clue to what this thread was about!

Haha! I win, for I had no clue to what this thread was about!
So you admit that you're a complete numbnut? ;)

I was thinking: "oh, a thread about a WA 4.0 release that, of course won't be about worms at all!"

but I didn't know about the movie... I might go see it when it comes to Spain...

I've heard that all movies in Spain are dubbed... :eek:

I've heard that all movies in Spain are dubbed... :eek:

What, even the Spanish ones?

What, even the Spanish ones?

ESPECIALLY the Spanish ones :eek:

I've heard that all movies in Spain are dubbed... :eek:

that's why I say when it comes :p

and yes, all dubbed... to spanish... except that Mel Gibson's Passion one... or something. :p

Oh, and the spanish ones :p

...but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for a third Ghostbusters movie.

SECONDED with a HELL YEA!

Well then, everybody in your town is WRONG.
Die Hard 4.0 is AWESOME among the AWESOME.
I can sum up it's awesomeness with one phrase: HE KILLED A HELICOPTER WITH A CAR.
Alternative phrase: Yippee-Ki-Yay, m**********r!

4.0 > 300Someone needs to learn a bit more maths ;)

(Creative quoting - is there anything it can't do?)

...what.

my ucle say the movie sux and 3 rock

I do like Die Hard 3, if only because it has a measuring jugs problem at one point.

Die Hard 3 is the only one I have not watched all the way through. I've seen it all, just bits of it at different times.

Except Die Hard 4, I havn't seen that at all.

Wait, whatever happened to 'less is more'?

The Die Hard Series in order of coolness (best first)
1,4,3,2.

Obviously those are just my thoughts.

(On a side note, Die Hard 4.0 > The Simpsons Movie, but the Simpsons movie is still pretty good).

NO

NO!!!!

What, the order of coolness or it being better than the simpsons? Or that the simpsons movie was good? :p
About the order, I don't know, never seen the first and second one, but I'm quite sure Die Hard 4.0 beats the Simpsons movie.

my ucle say the movie sux and 3 rock
ah yes youre ucle

About the order, I don't know, never seen the first and second one, but I'm quite sure Die Hard 4.0 beats the Simpsons movie.

Having seen both, I can say the following:

"Live Free or Die Hard" is not, in any sense of the word, a good movie. It's not awful, but certainly not good.
"The SImpsons Movie" has a plot typical of recent episodes of the show, but humour that is on a par with the Golden Age of the mid-90s. It's the second-funniest film I've seen this year behind "Hot Fuzz", which is fantastic.

Perhaps it wasn't great in a traditional way, but it kicked ass in a John McClane kicks ass way.
He kicked more ass than Jack Bauer and Batman together. :cool:

Wait, whatever happened to 'less is more'?Only for numbers less than one, should you be planning to square them.

EDIT: Or values for x in functions of the form f(x) = g(b - ax), where g is monotonic.
