I also love the interaction with Samuel L. Jackson's character. It is far more comedic and lighthearted than DIE HARD 2 (I always thought the addition of DIE HARDER was rather dumb), but I actually kind of like it. LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD feels far less like a Die Hard film and I'd probably like it a bit more if it was one of Willis's standalone action films like THE LAST BOY SCOUT or STRIKING DISTANCE. When it comes to A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD, the film and Willis's character doesn't even seem to be in the same universe as the original.
If I had my way, this would be my Christmas viewing leading up to the big day:
DIE HARD
LETHAL WEAPON
KISS KISS BANG BANG
THE NICE GUYS
