Die Hard 6

[KaijuDude1992]

I actually really like Live Free or Die Hard, but it should have just ended at Vengeance. This franchise is done though and its never been evident than after seeing that commercial.

Honestly, it was hard just looking at how awkward, tired and old Bruce Willis is now not to mention he doesn't have an ounce of that same charisma anymore.

The commercial was literally better than A Good Day To Die Hard.

I do think it's time to lay the franchise to rest though. I'd love another great sequel, but I don't see it happening. The perfect sequel was Die Hard With A Vengeance.

Agreed. The second was a retread but the third felt fresh and a natural progression of the story. When he rode the back of a fighter jet in 4, I knew the series had jumped the shark.

Agreed completely. I renjoy Die Hard 2 and Live Free or Die Hard, but Die Hard With A Vengeance was the peak of the sequels. I couldn't stand how Die Hard 5 was filmed, or any bits of the plots honestly. The movie was obnoxious beyond belief.

IMO, With A Vengeance is the only good Die Hard sequel. Die Hard 2 and Live Free or Die Hard are watchable but still meh. A Good Day to Die Hard is trash.

Vengeance is the best sequel, however, I think there was a real missed opportunity. The best part of the movie is the Simon Says stuff with Gruber's bomb plot. Instead of the retread of the heist subversion like the first film, the movie should have remained a cat and mouse game where it escalates.

Instead McLane has to stop another Gruber heist plot. It's kind of disappointing. And it sort of cheapens Simon Gruber from being a more distinct character. I think it would have been more refreshing if Simon wasn't like his brother at all. You can still keep the brother aspect and where McClane thinks this is about vengeance. But instead of McClane thinking he's dealing with the same kind of man of being in control and with a plan, it turns out Simon is more unstable and changes the plan and is more chaotic and actually wants to cause violence. It ups the stakes and keeps throwing McClane off. He'd be a pure terrorist. Which would be an inversion of what you thought Hans was in the first movie. Jeremy Irons would have done a terrific job at that.

Yea, Simon being Hans' brother and his plan being more like Hans' instead of just the mad bomber he presents himself as dilutes his character a bit.

I think the only bad DH movie is the last one and that was BAD. Like bad in an infuriating way. Its sad Mcclane went out on that note but Willis hasnt put any effort in his acting in years and a sixth one with old, tired, idgaf Willis would like be worse than #5. Just let it be.

 

[Schlosser85]

Has Willis done any actual acting since Looper six years ago?

And he hadn't done much for a while before that either.

I thought he was okay in Glass, but he didn't really have a chance in that one considering he was sharing the screen with Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy and Sarah Paulson.

 

[kguillou]

Believe it or not the last time I thought Willis had any charisma at all was Expendables 2. When he was bantering with Stallone and Schwarzennegger he seemed to be having fun.

The original ending was darker and played up the cat and mouse aspect. But I like that it runs in the Gruber family that they are nothing but common thieves.

The only hope I have is the fact that nostalgia is a thing these days... Ghostbusters, Keaton returning to batman, stranger things aesthetics etc

Plus the gritty noir approach like Logan will make this a good one.

Leave it be. Sometimes it's good to just let these things die... hard.

Thank god this isn't happening, because a Die Hard prequel is a stupid idea in the first place and I hope Bruce Willis never goes anywhere near this franchise ever again.

Hopefully, it stays dead like Leathal Weapon did after 4 atleast when it comes to films and not that tv show thing they did for Fox that I never actually watched.
