Consensus:
Live Free or Die Hard may be preposterous, but it's an efficient, action-packed summer popcorn flick with thrilling stunts and a commanding performance by Bruce Willis. Fans of the previous Die Hard films will not be disappointed.

Live Free or Die Hard is as close as we are going to get to reliving the good old action films of the '80s.

I was actually nervous with all the gunfire and near misses. But then it kept happening over and over again. So instead of being involved, I studied the action sequences.

As more and more movies rely on massive CGI enhancement and Hong Kong choreographed wire-rigged fights, Die Hard revels in good, old-fashioned fist fights and real, immaculately executed stunts.

The bad guys' omnipotence at nearly every turn dilutes the film's suspense.

This outing won't replace the original as anyone's favorite of the series, but it is a worthy addition to the Die Hard canon.

An enjoyable pop projection of post-9/11 anxiety. That said, it also makes you nostalgic for the days when irresponsible action movies didn't have to deal with it.

It is is about as realistic as a Tom & Jerry cartoon, but then again, this is a Die Hard movie . . .

This may be a 'digital age,' but Die Hard is a series that keeps on ticking.

Debido a la falta de comprensión de quien es McClane, lo que tenemos es una ordinaria película de acción, tan efímera como la vigencia de sus efectos especiales.

An extremely proud throwback that has the basic decency to steal from the very best.

Esta cuarta entrega de la saga entrega todo lo que promete: acción, acción, sentido del humor y más acción, con un Bruce Willis ideal en el papel que lo lanzó al estrellato.

With an infectious laugh when he blows up the bad guys and the power to stay alive no matter what, Bruce Willis' John McClane is a welcome sight back in theaters.

With a concept that matches its budget in terms of size and scale, the threat of virtual terrorism is the focus of Die Hard 4.0, a kick-ass action thriller with electrifying stunts that are as inventive as they are huge

What's the fourth "Die Hard" called? I keep forgetting. "Die Hard: With a Pension"? "Die Hardened Arteries"? "Die Laughing"?

Pure escapist fiction and has no relation to anything, which if you think about it, and you shouldn't, is perfectly fine.

Now that this film is here, I'm going to need to see another "Die Hard" flick every three years or so until Willis dies. Hopefully by then they'll have perfected the art of replicating Willis as a Virtual Actotron 3001.
