While many were skeptical about the 4th installment of the Die Hard series I had a feeling that Bruce Willis wouldn't return and tell us it was as good as the first unless he really stumbled upon something special. Before attending the jammed pack midnight showing I read some early reviews that were all looking positive, I had a really good feeling about this movie. As an action fan I have grown to be more and more disappointed with the quality of this genre, so I could only pray Live Free Or Die Hard wouldn't put it to shame. Fast forward. The moment the final credits come up my entire theater gives the film a standing ovation with plenty of cheering. I was so incredibly satisfied with my experience that my only complaint was I couldn't immediately go back for a second viewing. You really have to give action flicks a lot of rope, if you do that with Die Hard 4 it'll blow right past your expectations. What a relief! I had read about the possibility of another Die Hard about 10 years ago, this was well worth the wait! It's also great to see a big scale film that didn't heavily depend on cgi. If you enjoy action movies than this is a MUST see.
