Dynaman Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just read an article that Stallone's "Bullet to the Head" tanked at the box office, they said it is a bad omen for Bruce that Stallone's and Arnold's movies tanked. In the case of Stallone's film - I don't think I've ever even heard of it before seeing the box office returns today... All three are going to be netflix rentals for me.

kanedaestes Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I tried to give it a chance, hoping it would've been at least decent or passable. I wanted my money back and I used gift cards that were given to me by a customer at work. That's how offended I was, it really hurts knowing for Valentine's Day my girlfriend and I did a Die Hard marathon and then we watched this damned abomination to end our day.

Duke Togo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Wow, I was considering doing something similar. Glad I didn't. Why, just why? Let's say, for the sake of argument, the very idea of a 5th Die Hard movie wasn't enough to scare you away. And then let's say you completely missed the trailer--just didn't see it. Going one step further, let's say you completely missed the word of mouth on Facebook, internet forums, and the like. Taking all of those things out of the equation, IT GOT A 16% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. Even worse, it was 11% on the day of release. All one has to do is look. You guys kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchises can right themselves after a bad film. Look at how Rocky ended. Rocky 5 was horrible, but 6 was epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 For what it's worth my 65+ year old mom went to see it and loved it! . SCREW Rotten Tomatoes rating system! LOL! I'll probably wait for RedBox. and IMHO...3 and 4 were better than 2 as well..but I don't hate 2. It had a great cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 For anyone interested, the Slashfilm guys did a review of A Good Day To Die Hard, which is guaranteed to be more entertaining than the film http://www.slashfilm.com/filmcast-ep-219-a-good-day-to-die-hard/ Review starts at Time Index 41:40.

Movie critics and reviewers there suck harder than a Dyson vacuum. At the end of the day, it's all about one's personal taste in film. While I'd personally give T3 a 6/10 (I really dug the ending), I know some people like it more and some like it less. But when a movie (lIke the new Die Hard) gets a 16%, that's a pretty solid statement about a pretty bad movie. Keep in mind that the reviews aggrogated on RT comes from people from all walks of life. This isn't the NYT's movie critic and his circle of friends. RT works (and is popular) because it casts a wide net. It doesn't mean you'll always agree with it, and it doesn't mean that you should skip a movie that REALLY has your interest because it rated poorly there. But it's still a fairly accurate barometer of the quality of many of these movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 After thisreview, the little interest I had in the movie died: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/6837-A-Good-Day-to-Die-Hard The last Die Hard had him beating a fighter jet and this one continues in that line. Since now the premise is basically of an immortal McClane and sidekick instead of the normal looser in over his head that made the first one awesome, why not just call it "Unbreakable II"? Better a super hero movie than to nuke the poor fridge again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areaseven Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm in the middle of a Die Hard marathon, and I'm up to Die Hard with a Vengeance. It had been over a decade since I've seen the first three and I noticed the long scar across Bruce Willis' right arm from the shoulder. According to IMDb, Willis had shoulder surgery when he was 17, but I was wondering, was an "origin" to the scar ever written to John McClane's character (like Harrison Ford's chin scar in the Indiana Jones series)?
