Live Free or Die Hard Impressions
I watched Live Free or Die Hard this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was a little hesitant about it before seeing it because I was worried it would not be as good as the first two. Not that the third one was bad or anything, but the first two are classic action movies. Live Free or Die Hard goes a little more along the lines of the third movie where John McClane (Bruce Willis) has someone helping them. In this movie it is a college age kid named Matthew Farrell (Justin Long). I’m going to try and stay spoiler free and skip a plot synopsis, but I liked the way McClane and Farrell played off each other. It was a nice mixture of action and those two trying to understand each other. I also liked the little hints at the previous three movies that McClane would make in his comments when he would say things like he had not done anything like this for a very long time. Live Free or Die Hard follows the Die Hard formula pretty well. Lots of action and Bruce Willis kicking butt with whatever weapons and vehicles are available followed by some cheesy one liner. I’m not really picky about my action movies, but I do think classic movies like Die Hard generally should not have sequels this long after they are released (Alien: Resurrection I’m looking at you). However, in this case it worked well and I really enjoyed it. I’d recommend Live Free or Die Hard to anyone who is a fan of action movies. or Bruce Willis.
