Die Hard 4.0 & The Transformers - John McClane vs. Optimus Prime
Posted by Dave and Thomas at 4/04/2007
It's a little hard to keep up with John McClane in his newest Die Hard film. In the U.S. it seems they are sticking to the title "Live Free or Die Hard" which is just a little too cheesy for us. It is what it is and there's no hiding it's Die Hard 4. Don't get clever. Just call it that. Anyway, internationally it's being called Die Hard 4.0. A little better, but the version number seems a little outdated. That would've been real cool in 1999.
Anyway, if memory serves us right, the new Die Hard was going to open July 4th weekend, or thereabouts. It's now bumped up to June 29th no doubt due to the huge response of the Transformers which was scheduled for that date, also.
For Die Hard, the first U.S. trailer looked weak but for being a teaser we can accept that. The second, international trailer looked great with such FX as blowing up the U.S. Capital. Now, a third U.S. trailer has popped up, without the Capital blowing up, and looks just a little over the top.
There's now a jet plane with Harrier capabilities to fly around the bridges of N.Y. They should have skipped that and put more buildings blowing up. That's what John McClane's known for. Oh, and yes, that is Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) at the end of the Die Hard trailer as a hacker.

While we're still on the fence about Die Hard 4, there's no doubt that the Transformers keeps looking better and better. The new trailers out show the machines actually transforming. We're sad the sound FX from the cartoon that happened when they transformed is out. Wha-wha-wha. Hard to duplicate in type.
