Sometimes when you love something, you have to be able to let it go. This is certainly true with movies. There are a few movies that I hold as sacred and part of my childhood. Back to the Future and Indiana Jones are two such examples. I love these movies so much, but I never want to see them redone or continued. I think it's time to add Die Hard to that list. I think the last Die Hard movie I enjoyed was part 2. I love Bruce Willis, but I don't want to see John McClane anymore. I also don't want to see him with super powers. He is tough, but I don't want to see him walk on the wing of a flying jet.
This movie is fun. It is predictable. It is pointless. I can only predict that the next Die Hard movie will have McClane fighting in space.

Speaking of not leaving things alone, here we have another 80's movie remake. I was never a big fan of the original movie. I never understood why such a small town would be the focus of an insurgent takeover. In this new version, Spokane, Washington seems to be very important to the North Koreans. The movie is pretty true to the original It is an enjoyable movie, but I found myself not really caring about any of the characters. Hemsworth does a fine job as the leader of the Wolverines. Just like the Hunger Games, I have a hard time taking Josh Hutchenson serious as a tough guy.
