The script for Die Hard feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Die Hard knows its audience.

Unpopular opinion: Die Hard is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Die Hard and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Die Hard's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Die Hard last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Die Hard?
Honestly, Die Hard would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
