Live Free Or Die Hard!

I took a break from movie blogging for a while, but the Summer Blockbusters are coming, so it's high time for me to take a quick break from my cartoon and wax cinematic. This film may be the most unbelievable film to ever grace cinema...I'm talking about Live Free Or Die Hard!

Admittedly, I've only seen the trailer, but it's one hell of an ostentatious trailer!

The trailer starts with a group of internet terrorists shutting down an entire city's power grid. Then, badass action hero John McClaine pops up and declares "I'll take it from here" and we're off! Machine guns fire, buildings explode, cars speed by and John McClaine drives a car right into a helicopter 'cause he's "out of bullets". Now, all of this sounds like you're standard Die Hard fare. Bruce Willis made a name for himself defying the death-dealing motives of terrorists and bank robbers for 3 movies back in the day. However, things take a quick turn towards the end of the trailer. The filmmakers up their game to a new level of ridiculousness!

John McClaine plays chicken with an F-16, then he fights it with his bare hands! It's as if the writers decided to toss the "willing suspension of disbelief" out the window! And you know what? I like it!

It's been too long since I've seen a regular guy perform such uncanny feats with a smile and the occasional groan! See, when Spider-Man jumps on a fighter jet, it's cool, but when John McClaine does it, it's jaw-dropping! This flick looks like pure adrenaline-laced fun!

I hope to see you in the theater June 27th and I hope you're as inebriated as I plan to be, 'cause this is going to be an explosive, old school action movie!

Let the summer begin...
