Way to ride it out. Like most, I love the first, and enjoy the 3rd ones. Couldn't even finish the 4th and the 2nd was just OK. Moore is a shite director judging from his track record so I can't see this being even so-so. Doubt i'll even rent it.
Die hard first was an action classic.Really loved it.I can't understand why people have this much interest in Die Hard series(Except Die Hard 1).....Die Hard 4 is watchable because of the breathtaking action...Other 2 films are average action films...But Samuel L.Jackson's performance in Die Hard with a vengeance deserves appreciation

I think you guys are waaaaay over thinking this especially for an action series. I loved the 1st one and thought the 4th one was good too. It's a good action flick, it doesn't need a whole lot of character development and plot, just needs some good explosions. The whole jet thing or the destroying a helicopter with a flying car, was great for an action sequence even if it didn't make sense. I would watch a 5th although I am skeptical about the director too.

The films in the Die Hard series lost sight of this by turning McClane into a indestructible super-human. It's not that we're taking it too seriously, it's that the filmmakers didn't take it serious enough. They lost track of what made the original so good and so relatable for the audience. And, even when a viewer isn't conscience of the reason they enjoy an action film so much, it's still this relatability that makes the truly great films great.
Maybe, if they fire this director and get back to making John McClane a real guy again, they might make something worthwhile. But, I doubt that will happen.

I might be way off on this, it's been a long time since I have seen the first 3 Die Hard films, but when the hell did John McClane have a son, didn't they just make up his daughter in the last one and now he's getting a son. Then again there's a good chance they have mentioned his kids in one of the other movies and I just can't remember.

A Good Day To Die Hard
Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song"), Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad"), James Badge Dale ("24"), and D.J. Cotrona ("Dear John") have emerged as the finalists to play Bruce Willis’ son in "A Good Day To Die Hard" at 20th Century Fox.
Hemsworth is apparently the easy front runner for the part but all will undergo chemistry reads with Bruce Willis next weekend with a decision to be made soon after.

He had a son in the first film. They showed him in the family picture (I believe) and I also believe they mentioned him on the news broadcast in the film.

John McClane has found his son
Feb 23, 2012
Live Free or Die Hard introduced us to John McClane’s daughter, and the latest instalment A Good Day To Die Hard will introduce us to his son, Jack. The role has been sought out by many, but Deadline is reporting that Jai Courtney has landed the role. It was a big role to cast as it’s reported that his son will possibley takeover the franchise after this film, but the question remains if fans will accept a Die Hard film without Bruce Willis, or at least a reoccuring character with Willis.
A Good Day To Die Hard will take John McClane to Moscow, Russia as he and Jack work together to survive.

^ I completely forgot about Spartacus, I think that is a horrible casting call, I would never have thought of him to play Bruce Willis' son.

Never heard of this actor before, but looks like a good choice.

What to do with aging action stars? Team them up with the hot new young actors. Sort of like way back when seeing Bob Dylan w/ Tom Petty
...just for the record, still love ya Bruce

Er, Die Hard means it's hard to make him Die. So it actually fits pretty well with the fact that he's still alive.
