^^^ Whatever you posted rashad isn't showing up.

I just think the idea of taking over an airport is really cool. Yea it's the same old "Wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time" but I just love it. The plane blowing up full of innocent ppl. Love it. 3 just felt to hard to try and make John seem like he was just a low life washed up never was idk I didn't like McClain in the 3rd one. And in the 3rd one he was only saving his life(and the money after he finds out they stole it,oops spoiler) 2nd kept him wanting to save a loved one same with number 4

I've never understood quite why the 3rd one is so well thought of but I think the problem with 2 is that it's too self aware, almost like a parody, plus the action is poorly shot IMO especially compared to Harlin's work on Cliffhanger and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Just watched that ending.

Yeah, I can see why it wasn't kept. Even though it does fit with the theme of "vengeance", it's way too out of character for John. He almost seems a little too insane. Cruel, even. He would never kill someone like that unless he had a reason for it (i.e.-- killing Hans Gruber at the end of Die Hard, because Hans was going to kill Holly).

Agreed, it was more like something you could see Craig's Bond doing, it was too ruthless for McClane who kills when he needs to but is not a cold blooded killer.
