I don't really have a problem with CGI blood,I of course prefer old school blood packets But CGI blood can be done good at times,Yeah it was BAD in the first Expendables and just bit better in part 2 But it's been edited in and looking realistic in other films.
 
CG always looks off. It's funny how we can create dinosaurs and aliens with this form of technology but things like blood, fire, and smoke haven't been perfected yet.
 
I'd fire is as good as its going to get in The Last Airbender
 
Can someone explain to me why the hell in the US film four was called Live Free or Die Hard? It was called Die Hard 4.0 everywhere else which seemed to make a crap load more sense given the subject matter.
 
To go with the 4th of July theme here and the American theme of living free. It's dumb but what can ya do

I agree with the dumb-title bit. I like the movie overall but damn the title was stinkin' stupid.

not perfected? they are perfect. the technology exists. the studios are asking the cgi company to make the blood more fake looking. they dont want to risk and spend money on cgi blood and then the MPAA would maybe give it a nc17. so from start they tell them to make it a little fake looking.

they can do everything. i think blood is not a problem. its red liquid.
 
This movie is already better than the last one do to that R rating. Note: Ofcourse the last film's PG 13 rating was the least of it's problems to me.
 
Theres nothing wrong with it but its a bad title

You say that like this franchise has winning titles.
:woot:
Die Hard 2: Die Harder
Die Hard With a Vengeance
Live Free or Die Hard

All pretty ridiculous titles and #2 is face palm worthy.
 
Yeah they do sound ridiculous the next one should just be called "Old Habbits Die Hard"

It can be a cross-over between Die Hard and Lethal Weapon set it in a corrupt nursing home with a geriatric vying for control of the ovaltine black market. "I'm too old for this ****!" "Yipikaya, grandmother ****er."
 
I actually like "Old Habits, Die Hard" for a title for a final film :(
 
The next one is about John Mclane's weight loss program.

DIET HARD

I would also like that. I would like to see the franchise end with John Mclaine getting some type of commendation for his work as a police officer and him retiring from the force.
 
I would set it in New York at Mclane's retirement party. Bring by Holly, Jack, Lucy, Al. Cameos/mentions of Argyle, Zeus (I wouldnt mind him having a role about as big as Laurence Fisburne had in Predators), and Matt


Old Habits, DIE HARD

I dunno, that seems cheesy.

I think the only old character that really needs to make a return is Holly.
 
how is it cheesy to bring back old characters?

If there's a legitimately good reason for their return it wouldn't be cheesy. But if it is just for the sake of "hey remember me? I was in an earlier Die Hard movie!" then it would be cheesy. That's all my point really is.

None of those characters really need to return except Holly, IMO.

The difference is, we have no frame of reference for living dinosaurs or real life aliens. If we had T-Rex's wandering around in our daily lives we'd probably comment on how silly a CGI one looked in a movie. It'd be like offering up a computer generated cow or dog. For stuff like blood, fire, smoke, everyone knows exactly what they look like in real life so it's easy to tell when they're fake on screen.

Al would definitely be at John's retirement party unless they had a falling out or Al just couldn't make it in which case they would at least make mention of him. Zeus I could do without if need be, but knowing Jackson if he was asked to return for a small cameo he would do it. I wouldn't want these characters to be involved in the main narrative, but as an epilogue to the franchise at a retirement party/commendation ceremony it would seem perfectly natural.

Lol, we would be wondering why that raptor is so damn large and featherless.
