Die Hard is "years old" (24 of them, actually) and is an awesome movie in this genre. In fact I am going to preemptively declare you to be an action movie hipster if you like them but not Die Hard.
Being old doesn't make a movie bad. Being bad makes a movie bad. Sometimes that's because the times have changed and the plots are hard to relate to, but usually it's got nothing to do with the age.
- tomjen3 15y agoIt is okay, but the CGI explosions aren't as good as in the new movies (they properly wasn't even CGI then).
- awj 15y ago> they properly wasn't even CGI then I'm going to choose to pretend that wasn't a typo. ;) Seriously though, there are some great older action movies out there. There's some pretty top notch new ones, too. It's all good.
- billforsternz 15y agoAbsolutely true. For example Ronin (1998) has much more awesome special effects than the average 201x CGI infested equivalent. I was surprised by the perceptiveness of a youngster who pointed this syndrome out to me, he recognises the superiority of movies half a generation older than the movies made for his generation.
