A Good Day to Die Hard Reviews
The tired one-liners, smirks, yells, punches, cuts, bruises, and jokes are all here.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2024
“A Good Day to Die Hard” is missing almost ever signature feature and clever nuance that has made this franchise great.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2022
A Good Day to Die Hard fails not only to meet the requirements of an ample Die Hard sequel, but it also fails to be a watchable piece of mindless action.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 18, 2022
Indubitably cares nothing for the old days, trudging forward with explosion after explosion and not much else.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 3, 2020
An sub-par action affair, suitable only for die-hard Die Hard- ists looking to collect the set.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 11, 2020
A Good Day to Die Hard may be the most appropriately named film of the year.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 1, 2020
This is a shell of its predecessors.
| Original Score: C | Jul 27, 2020
So completely empty, so devoid of any story, character, or acting ability, that the few moments when the frantic pace slows down enough to let the characters talk, are painful.
| Original Score: D | Jul 9, 2020
This is not John McClane. This is a sad old man trying to reconnect with his estranged son, and failing to make me believe it.

For people who are fans of the Die Hard films and/or Willis' action persona, or those somehow unfamiliar with either but fond of the genre, A Good Day To Die Hard will be a good time at the movies.
| Original Score: B | Feb 9, 2019
A Good Day to Die Hard's grossest sin is that at no point does it feel like a Die Hard movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 9, 2019
It's always fun to hang with John McClane for a day, at least from the comfort of the cinema. But this trip doesn't merit a "yippee-ki-yay."
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 15, 2018
Yippee-ki...okay.
| Original Score: C | Nov 2, 2018
A Good Day To Die Hard faces one huge obstacle which it can't overcome - the shadow of the original Die Hard.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 2, 2018
Die Hard 5 is a spit in the face of the franchise, an embarrassment that should be quickly forgotten about and never spoken of again.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 1, 2018
Largely keeps John McClane off American soil and removes the crucial homeland insecurity that drove the franchise from day one.

It makes you think that the previous movies, or the first three really great ones, were all just a fluke.
| Original Score: D+ | Sep 7, 2017
The action is spectacular but it's incoherently directed, so often you can't tell who's smashing what lorry/jeep/helicopter into what, let alone why.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2017
It is, for anyone who loved the original films, an abomination.

John McClane turns out to be such an annoying, bullying dad that as comedian Chris Rock might phrase it, 'I'm not saying his son Jack should shoot him ... but I'd understand.'
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 20, 2016
