Bruce Willis returns as John McClane in a blockbuster sequel that goes bigger and more explosive than the original, and is lumbered with a subtitle that doesn't make any sense at all. Die Hard is a fairly vague title in the first place, but how does one die harder? It's either glorious or ridiculous depending on how you look at it, but it's most definitely gibberish. Titles haven't really been the strong suit of Die Hard sequels. Having never died before, I would be unsure of how to do it harder and I would have no clue as to how to do it with a vengeance. The two most recent entries decided to drop the grammatically unsound titles and instead opt for puns instead, with all four sequels guilty of having titles that don't make a great deal of sense. In terms of sheer nonsense, Die Hard 2 still takes the biscuit.

When trying to come up with a suitable tagline for Disney's old-fashioned tale of overcoming the odds, it seems as though at no point did anybody realize they settled on one that is not only a poor choice of words, but doesn't make any sense either. The incredible true story or the inspirational true story are just two adjectives that start with the same letter that would have been more fitting. Let's take a look at the dictionary, shall we? Impossible; not able to exist, occur, or be done. True: accurate or exact. It needs to be either an impossible story or a true story, it can't be both. Seeing as it's a biographical sports film of the famous racehorse, it's definitely the latter. It's not difficult to see why something labelled as 'impossible' also being called 'true' is a little confusing.
I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
