It was what it was supposed to be. It was action and the silly one liners and such. I was entertained and that is all that matters so I will give it 2.5 stars.
Some of the issues that I had with it are:
1. McClane is like 55 years old so it seems a little silly him doing what he is doing.
2. Why is McClane doing this all by himself? Why doesn't he call for some help?
3. The F-15 trying to shoot at McClane in the end...does he have complete disregard for civilians?
4. Can the Government be totally decimated that quickly/easily? If so, we have serious issues.
Despite the issues, it lived up to the formula that has made John McClane (and Bruce Willis) who he is. We all want that classic, "YIPPPEEEEECAAAAYYYAAAAAYYYYY, MOFO!!!" It delivered and for Die Hard fans, I think the character and story stayed true. Again, it was silly but entertaining so it was AOK in my book.

Didn't see it. Didn't want to see it. Probably will catch it when it makes its way to TV.
Correction, title is "Live Free or Die Hard."
I like this movie. But I could not believe they made it PG-13. We all know the Die Hard movies are bloody and we all know John McClane to be a man who curses up a storm in the previous 3 films. So for this one to come out PG-13 was kind of disappointing.
Luckily there's an unrated version on the DVD in which McClane can curse all he wants...and it's fantastic!
Agree. John McClane is triple X all the way. In fact, it should have been made into an X film. Just straight gore and porn.
Bad Guy: "McCLLLLLAAAAAAAANE!!!! Do you have any last words before you die?"
McClane: "SUCK MY DONG, A-HOLE!!! YIPPPEEEEEECCAAAAYYYAAYYYYYYYYY, MOFO!!"
Bad guy complies and then gets blown away by McClane.
CUT AND PRINT!!!
Classic. I am actually laughing out loud as I type this in.
