Nowhere Near the First Film, But Still Fun

Although Live Free and Die Hard presents some unique additions to the franchise (particularly the bad-ass Mary Elizabeth Winstead as McClane's daughter,) it lacks the freshness of the first film and the brutality that characterizes John McClane's brand of action. It's still a fun thrill ride with some clever callbacks to the series, but it feels somewhat like a watered down, sleeker and slicker version of the gritty franchise.
