Live Free or Die Hard needs a sense of joy, a sense that despite the harrowing nature of the situation, there is something entertaining - even to the participants - about the absurdity of the situation ... it doesn't have that.

What's the fourth "Die Hard" called? I keep forgetting. "Die Hard: With a Pension"? "Die Hardened Arteries"? "Die Laughing"?

Len Wiseman handles many of the set-pieces with flair and tension.

Provided you don't put too much thought into it and just enjoy the ride, you'll have a blast.

The bad guys' omnipotence at nearly every turn dilutes the film's suspense.

Ultimately, a passable new Die Hard movie is more than anyone of us ever really expected, and that in itself is worth a jolly old Yippee-Ki-Ay.

An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety. That said, it also makes you nostalgic for the days when irresponsible action movies didn't have to deal with it.

Though it's mostly entertaining (if overlong), there is a sense that the whole thing has become somewhat rote.

It's an over-the-top spectacle of action violence, and I loved it.

It's not remotely plausible, but with Willis' McClane leaping onto the tailfins of passing jet fighters and bringing down helicopters by launching police cars at them, there's enough stuff blowing up that action fans won't mind much.
