What is the name of the song/video that justin Long waslistening to when Bruce Willis came to his apartment? It
was a heavy metal chick band. Sounded a little like Kittie, but I was unfamilar with the song and didn't see them listed in the credits. Love the metal chick bands!!!

I liked it a lot more than Transformers, which I ended up seeing today. I was kinda expecting more "car" action from Transformers, that I actually got from Live Free or Die Hard.

Come on, if movies were completely real they would be awfully boring.

Wow, this movie was boring! Perhaps explosions just don't demand my attention the way they used to? Regardless, it doesn't hurt the franchise but it was still an unnecessary addition.

ok .. just saw it .. really liked it, but would have liked it more if it wasn't for the massive editing snafu right after the
. When Willis is talking about winning, there were some nasty cuts, and numerous times when Long's character is obviously talking in the back, but we are hearing (and seeing) Willis talking.
Also, there is one point when Willis and Long stop for a scene and then take off running, only to come around a corner right back to where they were to begin with (the sign on the window was the same)
I loved the reference to DH (Agent Johnson) gave me a little laugh.
I would hope that this does well enough to warrant another film. Perhaps allowing McTiernan (sp) to close out the series. Finally let John retire and settle down somewhere in peace. Also, bring back Powell or Thornberg. John doesn't need to get back with his wife, just to have one last round of ass-kicking before hanging up the badge and vanishing for good.

I just saw the new commercial for Live Free or Die Hard on tv, and it actually uses the Die Hard song. Kudos to Guyz Nite!

Wow. This was a great movie. I don't see how anyone couldn't enjoy it. Saw it last night and was blown away. There were some terrible edits where you could see it was supposed to be R which sucked, but what can you do. The worst of which was Long being dubbed and the audio not going with his lip movement. Only other 'minor' thing that bugged me was Lucy's age. She was what, five in the first film? That would put her at about 25 for this film which didn't appear to be the case.
It got pretty absurd towards the end with the jet, but it was definitely a fun ride and have no major complaints. Absolutely loved the "agent Johnson" line, a musical cue from the first film, Lucy undecided on her last name and Lucy telling McClane there were only 5 guys left.
My only real complaint was the climax. It seemed a bit rushed in the hanger when Willis showed up.
I will definitely be picking up the R or unrated DVD. Great flick.

Just saw it last night. Liked it a lot. I liked DH1 & 2, not 3. Airplane scene at end a bit unbelievable, but what action film doesn't have a little unbelievable stuff in it.

not so bad considering this is the 4th series... usually they stop being a good movies right after the 1st
the beginning was alright... then it gets better... the jet thingy reminds me alot of True Lies... too bad. it makes the movie less original in away
but overall, much better than any summer blockbuster this yar... so far...

Heh, True Lies really cemented the concept of having an epic battle with a jet didn't it?
Last year it was MI3 that was getting the True Lies comparisons due to the entire bridge sequence.

Edit: still love that song. "And we know what the basic gist is: there ain't no Alan, and it's not Christmas."

Saw this today, enjoyed it a lot, except for that stupid jet sequence.
Always good to see the cast of District B13 getting work.

The audio looping was hilariously bad, though. Stupid PG-13 edit.
And the looping was awful during a few scenes - I thought I was watching the Turner cut or something.
Negatives aside - it was still far and away better than I ever thought it would be.
My dad rolled his eyes and made a snide remark about the Hollywoodization of the top secret data facility. He enjoyed himself as well, apart from the infamous jet sequence.
