It doesn't help that the title sounds like someone jokingly conflating two action series: "Star Fast and Furious Trek 4". Or maybe it does help, I dunno.
I'll see it, but I've been skeptical about the sudden introduction of a son into the plot line since The Fucking Brady Fucking Bunch gave us fucking Oliver.
Where did the first, most beloved film, Die Hard take place? A single building, Nakatomi Plaza. Die Hard 2? A bigger, more important building, Dulles International Airport. Die Hard: With a Vengeance? All of New York motherfucking City. Live Free to Die Hard? The whole goddamn country was under siege! So of course A Good Day to Die Hard goes where it hasn’t gone before, to the location of a historic disaster, where, it turns out, several countries, maybe even the world, are threatened should the bad guys get their way. Of course that’s what it does!
Calling it: Die Hard 6 ends with him saying Yippy Ki Ay, motherfucker as he blows up an alien mothership invasion.
@4- Exactly, the only way to get bigger after saving the world is to save the galaxy. I predict a Star Trek/Die Hard crossover- "Live Long and Die Hard".
Next level after beating aliens, Time Travel: John McClane travels back to the 1920s to take the place of an assassinated US president in "Die Harding."
one thing tho: it seems to me that "becoming self-conscious about whether or not I'm right or wrong" should be either "about whether or not I'm right" OR "about whether I'm right or wrong."
I am with @7, but I just don't see how it'd be possible to wipe that perpetual (no matter the circumstances) smirk off his face as he is about to get run over.
I can't possibly imagine I'll see it, but read Slate's review this morning and it contained this wonderful line...
"This time, McClane ventures out in search of trouble, all for the love of his semi-estranged son (“The things we do for our kids,” he mutters as he attempts to drive a truck off a helicopter.)"
Slate also provided a link to this entertaining trailer for a Die Hard spoof set in a supermarket starring Ben Stiller. Seriously!
I'm sometimes embarrassed to admit that I like the Die Hard series. Yes, I know that Bruce Willis is a terrible actor, and I can never take him seriously. But his perpetual smirk is perfect for the silly role of John McClane, and he seems to work it just fine as he ages.
I haven't seen this one yet, and even the trailers look pretty stupid. But what were you expecting? All of these movies are pretty stupid. But they're fun stupid, and this one looks fun stupid too. I'll probably see it, regardless of shitty ratings. And then I'll probably be embarrassed that I saw it.
In the next installment, DIE HARD OF DIXIE, John Maclaine, working now as head of security at the Large Hadron Collider, gets accidentally sent back in time, where he encounters recently-freed-slave Django Freeman...
I loved your review...because i liked the movie too.
I would like to ask to those who have already seen the movie to suggest a good alternative slogan/tagline for it (in the style of the existing ones: Ypiee Ki-Yay Mother Russia and Like Father! Like Son! Like Hell!)

Saw it yesterday, and it was a terrific example of the form. Whoever that fellow is who plays the son, he has a very bright future. Pretty in the face and a Tom Hardy-level torso.

No, the "Live Long and Die Hard" is better. The recent trend is to take a known phrase and end it with "Die Hard" pretty much as a punchline.
Though "To Live and Die Hard in L.A." could be a good title.
