Don't be dismayed, Die Hard fans. The problem is with the movie, not yourselves.
Flix Capacitor
Pretty much on a par with Die Hard 4.0, the poorly-titled A Good Day To Die Hard is essentially four big set pieces and a lot of explosions.

The Aristocrat
Gone is the vulnerable, smart and resourceful hero of the original. He has instead been replaced by an unstoppable killing machine who - like a pull-string toy - sprouts irrelevant catch phrases like 'I'm on vacation!' in the middle of a fire fight.

We Got This Covered
A Good Day To Die Hard is an ugly, crass and uncomfortably mean-spirited sequel that bears no resemblance to its predecessors.

Forget what you know about the earlier "Die Hard" films. This 'Good Day' is not the "Die Hard," nor the John McClane that we've come to know.

Starts off with the right idea but undermines itself with an almost non-existent storyline, interminable padding, indestructible good guys and genuine insults to the audience's intelligence.

With little going for A Good Day to Die Hard in any aspect really, it's certainly a disappointing addition to the Die Hard franchise

Bad acting and stiff dialogue rear their ugly head in the opening scene and just douse the movie in their thick juices repeatedly until it ends.

John Moore seems to take all of our hopes for this out with an exciting-then-boring car chase that feels like it takes 40 minutes to complete.

Die Hard 5 does at least feature the best villain in the franchise: director John Moore.

A wholly generic international actioner barely distinguished by the presence of Willis's banner hero.

To call the film perfunctory would be to insult properly perfunctory events, such as that visit to your least-favourite uncle.

Willis has hinted that a sixth Die Hard movie is already in the works - the good news is, the series can only go up from here.

Top CriticNo two viewers will assemble the same narrative from this Rorschach of running men, crashing glass, and hollered exposition.
It's "A Good Day to Die Hard," aka "We've Got No Story To Speak Of But We Do Have an Infinite Special Effects Budget and We're Not Afraid To Spend It."

Sees both franchise and character transformed into tragically unimaginative, cacophonously violent and embarrassingly unfunny shadows of their once great former selves.

All concerned should be dropped from the 30th floor of a high rise.
