After watching this one, forget the first three

How can this year's summer blockbusters be described with a "cool" word. After watching "Transformers", forgive me that no one hopes to expect the miracle of any action movie to appear. But the good news is still frequent: "The Bournemouth 3" successfully closed and won a big victory. This year's Hollywood, God will surely help.
To be honest, although I like watching action movies, the "Die Hard" series is still very low in my mind. Because in the summer of 2004, I borrowed my friend LN’s 6D9 set to review this film, and it was hard to guarantee a sense of disappointment. Especially for the first one, in 88 years old, when the phone was still in a fixed state, I suddenly thought that I was watching a documentary, and I couldn't get excited at all. I just feel that the machine guns are fully fired. People are sprinting up and down in the building. Fortunately, Bruce's constant complaints can make people find a trace of movie fun in the boring "counter-terrorism" routine.
In the second part, there is only the plane that was blown up in my mind.
The third part, the building exploded. As an action movie, the latter two are still very good-looking, but after a long time, it is unavoidable to forget that there is no twists and turns in the plot, but after watching the third one, I decided that this series ended in such a neat and neat manner, so no need to come. The fourth episode or something.
However, the news of the fourth episode of Hollywood still scared me. OMG, can the 50-year-old Bruce still watch it? Isn't this suicide? But the result is: be disappointed, you will be surprised by the disappointment. This is very similar to the experience of "007: Casino Royale".
"Die Hard 4" did not give up all the routines of this series, but upgraded them all in the 21st century. Blue cool colors, more colorful opponents, plus the comprehensive acceptance of computer technology. This is definitely a movie that modern people should watch, whether you are a "Tiger" fan or not.
Under the excellent script layout, Bruce did not show off his old "beauty", but began to show his old age and unwillingness to "protect the young" love. You can't see any scenes of Bruce kissing, NO, that's young people's stuff. Bruce, who has a clear focus and goal, gave us many surprises in the film:
1. To fight against the children with a more naive mentality. In the car, a 20-year-old kid criticized the 80s songs on the radio. Bruce responded by turning the volume up repeatedly. The kid surrendered: "Ha, this is so mature!" Bruce's naughty and triumphant expression made people want to pinch this 50. A handful of old children.
2. Bruce and MAGGIE Q sparred, after being madly Kung Fu by Dongfang chick. Bruce began to "torn a tooth for a tooth" in a way of dealing with a macho. I can't see any feeling of "pity, fragrance and cherish jade" at all. In the end, after the beauty was beaten into a rotten tomato by him, he did not forget to say "I hate these kung fu stuff." Innocent and evil, extremely hilarious. I personally think that Uncle Bruce's beating by a beautiful woman is absolutely beautiful. And the Hong Kong beauty MAGGIEQ's skill is no less than Zhang Ziyi's small goods. The national pride is full.
Finally, give you another reason to watch Die Hard 4? That is the wonderful action design and arrangement not to be missed, the tunnel crashes, the car explodes the plane, don't talk about me. Go and see for yourself how these tired things have been played by the director and become superb. Having money to play is not a skill, the key is to play creatively. This is called a cow. No matter what the others, I was forced by these two scenes, and my breathing was a little short. Few action movies in recent years have such momentum.
The second half of the film is a bit clichéd and a bit verbose. If I can reduce the second half by 20 minutes, I will give it a score of 4.9.
The gymnastics kung fu of the French-speaking terrorists jumping over the wall and over the ridge is too awesome. It is also a great surprise to see the "Boxer"-like skill in this movie.
Finally began to have a little fantasy about "Indiana 4". Thank you "Die Hard 4" for super-level performance. After watching this episode, people will indeed forget the first three episodes.
If you don’t believe me, please watch the trailer for yourself. PS, the trailer is stingy. There are too many wonderful movies that have not been put into it, which is very different from many deceptive trailers that make money (cut the good-looking ones into the trailers, and the other parts are garbage)
