Brand-New "Die Hard 4" Trailer, Website Launch, Etc.

Already two of my movie-nerd pals have messaged me to complain about the "over-the-top" nature of this just-released "Live Free or Die Hard" trailer. I think those friends are nuts, because this is one seriously enticing little promo clip. (Plus, we have a new flipbook!)

"Somewhere between the jet fighter and Kevin Smith I forgot this was a John McClane flick," is what one of my friends whined, to which I responded, "Hey, throw in the kitchen sink if you want to. It's "Die Hard 4," for cryin' out loud, not a Merchant Ivory production."

Bigger, louder, faster is the way action sequels work, and I say this brand-new theatrical trailer does a fine job of selling "Live Free or Die Hard." Between the high-flying mega-mayhem and the always-cool Bruce Willis, the movie's already a guaranteed smash. Here's hoping it's up to the standards of its three predecessors! (I'm counting on you, Len Wiseman!)

Once you're done with the trailer, feel free to click around the newly-updated official site for the fourth "Die Hard" adventure, which hits screens (loudly) on June 27th.

This is definately going to be the biggest disappointment of the summer. As previously stated, this doesnt look like a DIE HARD film; but just another run of the mill summer yawn inducing action flick. And as stupid as it may sound, Willis hair made him John McClane. Seeing him bald seperates you from the character; it's like John Wayne without a cowboy hat or for that matter a hawaiin shirt wearing Harry Callahan. But as far as Im concerned by the trailer its already at three strikes, 1. Kevin Smith 2. The guy from MAC commercials 3. A bald Bruce Willis.

ya, thats the f-35b, newest one, can hover till it runs out of fuel!!! From what I saw from that scene it reminds me of the Harrier jet scene from True Lies. This movie is going to rule!!!

I have to agree with gratefuldawg; I don't know about it being the biggest disappointment of the summer, but it definitely has the potential. Bruce Willis just isn't John McClane anymore. Working with M. Night Shyamalan has ruined him. I don't think he'll be able to get back into character enough. Hopefully, I am wrong.
As long as he doesn't spend the entire film in a state of quiet tension that he always seems to be in his other movies.
And yeah, the guy from the Mac commercials is poison. We know John McClane is a badass; we don't need some schmuck following him around saying so.

Looks freaking awesome. This will not be a disappointment whatsoever.

And people, it's John McClane. The guy's middle name should be Superman, because he can get out of any kind of situation. So in shorter words, it's always been over-the-top.

"just another run of the mill summer yawn inducing action flick"...I'm gonna feel real sorry for you when you have to eat major crow...

...not really

I'd have to agree. Over the top. The first one rocked. When he jumps off the back of the plane.....haha, yeah, over the top. But I'm a sheep, I'll still see it.

"The first one... when he jumps off the back of that plane," eh?

At least you're not confused about theis one looking kick-ass. Can't wait. Snobs need not attend.

Smith get dragged behind the Jet Fighter.
This thing has stinkeroo written all over it. For all I know, if I was going into this trailer blind, it could pass for numerous Bruce Willis movies. It could be a sequel to Mercury Rising, Last Boy Scout, Hostage or North for that matter. You can't go home again (for the fourth time), especially when you force feed the audience.

I was a little confusing. I mean Die Hard rocked.
And in the TRAILER for this one, when he jumps off the back of the plane, that is ridiculous.
