I honestly didn't believe all the bad press and bad word of mouth for this film. I figured people where being uptight and were engaging in a form of backlash against a long running franchise. Well, I was wrong.
This thing really is as bad and as dumb as most are saying. How could they blow it this badly? Obviously they had the budget in place to deliver the fun. Instead, what hits the screen is as nonsensical as could be. They even managed to make a long and budget eating car chase unentertaining. What appears to be many cool and old school car crashes are wasted in what has to be the worst camera work and the worst filmed big action sequence that I've EVER seen. There's no depth to anyone and just about everyone is a live action cartoon character of some kind. Maybe it's Fox Studio's plan to phase this series in to another franchise because the events at the end of the movie clearly set up John and his boy as a live action Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy from Fox's The Simpsons side of the ledger. Why not add super powers to the mix? John McClane has become an indestructible cartoon character anyway.
