A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)

Oh dear Lord,why?

[5/10 · 16 February 2013]

I loved the 1st,2nd,3rd even the 4th.They all had a good character implementation and chemistry.I went into the 5th sequel optimistic but prepared for trash and cheese.Boy oh boy the "You are not prepared" line was correct.

NO character chemistry and development WHATSOEVER.Trashy lines consisting mostly of : "I am on vacation" and "Jesus",plot holes the size of Mars,characters which seem to be resistant to any kind of damage.

Bruce Willis was at his mediocre,horrible at start,improving as the movie unfolds.Though you cant blame him since the script was written by monkeys thrashing on a keyboard.

Jai Courtney did fine,would like to see him in more movies as a future star.

Overall,without further thinking - wasted money,wasted time,even the mindless action and a couple of good scenes couldn't prevent me from being disappointed!

Quite an interesting movie,set in kind of an origami environment which is quite unique,has some shiny action moments.......a movie which in my honest opinion had some exquisite potential but got ruined by poorly written scenario,typecast roles for actors that could present much more. Watchable but don't expect some Oscar movie going around....

It may disappoint you or you may even like it.Actors like Woody Harrelson,Demi Moore,hell even Josh Hartnett could give a lot more if properly stimulated with a good screenplay...yet they give them cheesy roles like these.Maybe the idea here was to go with the cheesy but in the end - mediocre with a hint of originality.

Blending mediocre blockbuster launched for 3d

As we've seen before,and before never proved us wrong... what we have here is just one more Hollywood spit-out of Greek mythology.The movie itself was okay,a solid 6 to give you some momentary fun if you have nothing else to do.It was better than Clash of the titans that much I can Definitely say.But in the end,a more educated man can't neglect the VAST lack of information in the film.The character Theseus in the movie is nothing like the one in the mythology.The movie itself contains a silly plot which blindly spams you with warriors in shiny or black armors,lots of swords,clanging,a mediocre love scene with one of the most renowned prophets in Greek mythology and a lousy,expected ending.Honestly,I'd kick the guy who wrote the screenplay in the nuts...You people let us viewers down day by day,while washing our brains with this futile and meaningless action.At least do it mythologically ( or historically ) correct if you're gonna drain us of our money.

A time passerby to watch with some popcorn.Nothing else to expect.
