Die Hard 4

Saw Die Hard 4. It was the story of a grizzled barbarian and a young mage who team up to defeat an evil mage and his minions. Like the other Die Hards, it's kind of a romp. Of course the computer stuff is nonsense but hey, it's Hollywood. They only have poor bewildered english majors to write the scripts. One of the biggest flaws was misjudging how insanely pedantic computer-folk are. Warlok (or was it Morlok? They sound too similar.) should have begun armchair lawyering as soon as he found out McClane was a cop. What cares he for The Fate of America when he has points to score off some pig? A certain type of nerd completely lives for this crap. Bah. Wasted opportunity.

There was some kind of worrying stuff about recent politics thrown in "it took FEMA 5 days to gt water to the superdome." (as they're being hacked) "The FAA says all flights are grounded." These references to 9/11 and Katrina are jarring and don't feel like they belong in a light-hearted watch-McClane-kill-everyone movie. But I suppose it was 2007, so what can you do?

Very very goofy, but entertaining I guess, if you're into that.

Edit: I really, REALLY liked the montage of president clips being threatening. I've always wondered if such a thing would work.
