1. Live Free Or Die Hard (2007)
Sacrificed Its Integrity By... Swapping Gritty Violence For Cartoon Hi-Jinks Look, violence isn't everything, I know, and movies can be good without including scenes where people spill their guts out over the floor in graphic detail, but let's face it: violence is a big part of the cinema scene, lots of us enjoy watching violence on the cinema screen, and violence is inherent to a number of big franchises that rely on it to work.
Die Hard is (or was, I guess) one of those franchises. That was until the fourth entry, of course. I imagine that the studio weren't too sure as to how
Live Free or Die Hard was going to fare, given the span of time between the third movie and this one, so they slapped it with a PG-13 rating and went about counting the cash in the aftermath. But this isn't a
Die Hard movie. It's not necessarily a bad movie, but it sure as heck isn't a
Die Hard one.
Die Hard means watching John McClane get hurt. We want to see blood and sweat. None here, unfortunately.
