Have the impression Matt is some kind of strawman.
Like, the way hollywood script writers think white nerds act or something (Xbox playing, toy collecting, paranoid tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist contrarian with terrible.taste in music, apparently..)

It wasn't too bad. They went overboard with the explosions & action, which who'd have thought that'd be the case with a movie called Die Hard, but apparently it was just foreshadowing the abomination that would be the next film.
I enjoyed it, and I've watched it again since. Not anywhere near the level of the first three, but a fun watch.
I just hate it when Hollywood tries to be clever and just comes off as ignorant (And despite that, I liked Matt in a general sense.. The kid was living through stuff that would have reduced your average joe to a urine soaked puddle of tears, but he still was able to form rational thoughts and take action when needed..)

I like Len Wiseman's direction with the Underworld movies. His over-the-top style worked perfectly for that world. But he wasn't right at all to me for Die Hard. And Justin Long is annoying in it.
If they're still doing a 6th movie, they'd better go back to basics and really make up for past grievances cause the last two efforts have been awful. Hell, even the Fast and the Furious movies have been having more action-fun.
