Bruce not that Almighty

Naah. Not talking about that one right now.

Just watched Die Hard 4.0....aka Live Free or Die Hard

Average man. Just average(like my life right now).

You know that Die Hard is Bruce's show all the way. I mean you watch it just to see what kind of a pain in the ass Bruce becomes to NYCs tormentor.

4.0 is pretty standard issue of the Die Hard series. The stage is set within minutes of the opening. Everything is DH style. Bruce enters early. The villan enters early. The plan is quite straightforward. Its NYC. There is Bruce's family too. Then you watch as Bruce chases down the villan until they meet in the final minutes. Typical DH. Throw in a couple of car chases, an F-35 and some cool stunts.

Only that this time the villan doesn't give out a bad-guy vibe. He's too sophisticated. And geeky. No Hans or Simon here. Plus, this guy is an American. Ex-FBI. Hangs out with computer geeks. No muscle. No good.

No Sam Jackson, NO partner. No fun. Its Bruce all the way. With a kid. Even the heist is about some financial data being stolen. Nothing like trucks loaded with gold. Too sophisticated for a DH heist. No good one-liners too.

The good parts are of course the action elements. Some cool fights; neat car chases(more like car crashes).

All in all an average flick. Just like Rambo 4, which I watched a couple of weeks back. Rambo 4 was all about two things: gore and Stallone's one dialogue, delivered in that coarse and husky voice of an aged fighter......'Live for Nothing or Die for Something'...... man, now that is a line!

Segal, Stallone and Willis are my action favs and I'll watch their movies anyday, just for the heck of it.

Just for the heck of it.
