I got mocked for this before
but I think Die Hard 4, while entertaining, was too far-fetched. The situations in the other ones, while kind of ridiculous, are at least possible, whereas all that computer stuff was just bollocks .

I thought it was enjoyably ridiculous
the otehrs were better and more realistic, but I don't much care.

Suspension of disbelief, innit?

I have no problem suspending disbelief
I was going to say that I just find the way computer stuff like that is shown in films to be silly and annoying, but I remembered that I watched Hackers again the other day, and I fucking love that film.

Is that the one with Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie?
What a turgid pile of nonsense that is

I liked it in war games
when he made the computer play noughts and crosses with itself.

I think the mocking is deserved
The plane situation in Die Hard 2: Die Harder, was equally ridiculous. But 4.0 was better becuase of the hilarious fight in the lift shaft. He hits that woman with a car and she still almost kung-fu's him to death until he drops her down a lift shaft by flying through the broken windscreen. Genius.

Yeah, we all love a bit of woman-beating
I was particularly impressed when he was punching her in the head as she lay on the floor

I got an erection when he did that
It was embarrassing as my parents were in the room so I could only have a pocket wank.

You didn't ask to sit on your mum's knee?
