10 Movies That Prove Pod People Run Hollywood

A Good Day To Die Hard is a prime example of what happens when Pod People seize control of a franchise and attempt to manufacture their own installment. There's no excitement, just the pretense of it. The actors, the zingers, everything else is the same, but there's no feeling.

Playing more like a very poor man’s 24 movie than a Die Hard picture, sequel #4 is a ginger-haired stepchild that deserves to be beaten at every available opportunity. There isn’t a single memorable moment in the entire film, and nothing in Skip Woods’s screenplay suggests he did anything more than dust off unproduced script, change the names and ask the studio, “Will this do?”

You’re off to a bad start when a character who hates flying has no problem taking a plane to Russia on a moment’s notice, but why stop there? Randomly throw in an unexciting chase sequence, add a few flat and unremarkable villains, sprinkle with crap one-liners and – presto! – you’ve made a worse movie than Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
