Anyone else think this was worse than A Good Day To Die Hard?

"A Good Day To Die Hard" was completely lacking in plot, characters, dialogue and was utterly stupid, but at least the car chase scene was pretty well shot and all the car wrecks were fun to watch, even if completely inane. Having said that though, Willis seemed like a psychopath who didn't have a care in the world for all the innocent motorists whose lives he was endangering.
However, it was still more entertaining than any of the scenes in "Live Free or Die Hard". A lot of ropey looking CGI in this one, especially the fighter jet scene. -

No, I'd say this film is better than
AGDTDH
and
DH3
.
I can't imagine how anyone would prefer
AGDTDH
. I didn't think it was as bad as people said it was (I give it a 6/10), but
LFoDH
was way better.

And I can't imagine for the life of me how anyone could prefer this to Die Hard 3. -

Technically, "Live Free" would probably be considered the better movie of the two. At least during the action scenes you could tell who was chasing whom, and at least they didn't recycle McClane's old audio from "Die Hard 3" and incorporate it in "Live Free." A Good Day feels like a very bad Die Hard movie, whereas "Live Free" feels more like a generic Bruce Willis action movie. Fun, but not a whole lot of depth.
I did enjoy how during a few scenes in "A Good Day" Bruce acted a little more like the McClane from the original trilogy. Too bad the script was such garbage. -

Couldn't agree more.

No way!
AGDTDH was an abomination!!! It was a horrible movie by any standards. Even if it had not been part of the DH franchise, it still is a pretty horrible film. LFODH is oodles better than that travesty.

For all the love/hate that this film gets. I still feel its better that AGDTDH. Considering that Die Hard 3 was based off a script called "Simon Says' and the film's first hour adheres to that storyline pretty much. Adding McClane to the mix, plus a nod to DH1 was brilliant.
Mr. Argumentative sums it up nicely though. DH4 is a standard Bruce Willis action film masquarading as a Die Hard sequel. -

Absolutely! Both are bad but 4.0 was a steaming pile of whatever.

They were both pretty crap. Should have called the fifth one "Live Free or Die Harder" so we could just erase these in our minds, from the Die Hard franchise as a pair.
But I think this one is worse because it's so unrealistic it's just stupid; on the other hand, AGDTDH is so unrealistic it's just comical. With the fifth one it was more like they were not even taking it seriously and didn't expect anyone else to. So in that regard you watch it and think "okay yeah I get it they've just gone way over the top here whatever, just enjoy the silly action". LFODH though, it's like they try to be serious but it's so far fetched it's just badplain bad.
Definitely don't think the fifth one is good but I'd probably give it a 6 or something because you at least enjoy some of it. This one, I think it gets a solid 4, tops. Two defining moments for me:
AGDTDH: The 'anti-radiation spray'so utterly ridiculous/preposterous it's just laughable.
LFODH: The
light bumping
of a car bumper that's not even running/driving with a tin can garbage can (not even causing deformation to the bumper, never mind crushing the crash sensors or doing anything that would make the accelerometers think it was actually hitting something), setting the airbags off? Then somehow conversing normally with GM's OnStar while the rest of the "satellites" and cell networks are down? So utterly stupid and intelligence-insulting, it makes you want to forget they made this movie.
