Kevin Smith made a funny, but foul-mouthed indie film that was released in 1994. Since that time he's been making clunky comedies that promote food court philosophy. His films are self referential, and completely disposable. Smith speaks directly to his own fans and doesn't necessarily try to cast his net out to a broader audience. It is possible, if you're a fan of Smith's work, that you'll enjoy this film. Then again, if you're a fan of Smith's, you're probably easily amused. As is clearly evident in this trailer, the film is short on laughs, and has little to say. The actors fumble around, stuck in a film that has no point and no focus.

Short Review: They should change the title to "Hey, You're Bored, May As Well Watch This Until Something Better Comes On"

The original Die Hard is one of the most influential films made in the last few decades (believe it or not) and was a far better movie than most people give it credit for. The sequels have been a mixed bag. Peppered with corny one-liners, inexplicably huge explosions and Hollywood physics, the series is the foundation of a generation stupid action movies. This capstone to the series is not only completely unneeded it is downright unfortunate. Even as cynical, self-mockery it doesn't succeed. This is flat out tedious crud that offers nothing - NOTHING original, interesting or even mildly entertaining.

Facing the fact that after decades of making sequels, remakes and movies based on TV shows and comics, Hollywood is stuck propping up aged actors from better years instead of developing new, refreshing product. This is nothing more than the studio trying to squeeze the final pennies out of a franchise that has already expired and too many of us are too stupid or lazy to ask for anything better. Do your part in slowing the decline of Western Civilization and skip this movie.
