SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!1I have never seen a movie so thoroughly abuse the suspension of disbelief.
Most notably, when John McLain somehow got out of the cab of the 18-wheeler and into the trailer, then fell out onto the weird jet thing that was chasing him, and stood around on the jet thing that somehow remained perfectly level, despite being in bad enough shape that the pilot ejected, then got onto the slanted bit of freeway ramp, and slid some Very Long Distance, without losing large amounts of skin.
And if he drove the SUV through the wall, and into the Bad Mamma-Jamma Kung Fu Girl, I would be OK with that. I don't mind if she survives. But what kind of crack must you smoke, to keep driving the thing through a power-plant, when you don't know what you're driving into? Serves him right he drove into a stupid elevator shaft. But after all that, after the initial beating from McLain, then taking a direct hit from an SUV, and being used as a cattle guard to plow through stuff, the BMJKFG has the capacity to climb around and beat up McLain? :rolleyes: It would have been WAY cooler, if he had just hit the brakes, throwing her to the ground, where she would be run over two or fifteen times.
And then the bad guys "sent the gas lines" to the power plant.
What does that even mean?
And can someone teach me how to shoot a fire extinguisher just right, so it explodes, and blows a guy out a window? I want to know that trick.
The movie was not all bad, of course. I really liked the one actually believable stunt, where he throws the bad guy into a desk chair, then rolls him off a steep staircase.
