Save for fact that John McClane was acting like freakin' Superman for the sum of its parts, Die Hard 4.0 was a good - if not slightly tepid and occasionally generic - blockbuster venture. It's not up there with the first and third movies, of course, but it'd be hard to argue that Die Hard 2 is a genuinely better movie (take your nostalgia out of your equation). So when A Good Day To Die Hard reared its ugly head and told us "Coming 2013," there was a mix of sighs and giddy excitement: sure, the Die Hard franchise felt "done with" at Die Hard 3, but who's to say they weren't just a little bit curious to see what a fifth installment might hold for John McClane? How stupid we were (you're only excused if you didn't go out to the theatre to see A Good Day To Die Hard, and haven't bought or rented it since). Here's a movie so uninspired and so unlike a Die Hard movie that it might as well have been called "Generic Bruce Willis Action Movie." Bruce has made lots of those recently, of course, but this might well be the worst of them all: based in Russia and set around another plot concerning another estranged McClane child (who now works in the CIA), A Good Day To Die Hard couldn't have been more aptly titled: watching it, you really did feel like being buried once and for all. The worst (and most insulting) movie of 2013, you ask? This. Like this article? Let us know in the comments section below.
