Die Hard 4.0. Skipped 2 and 3 because this one had higher reviews, had Mary Elizabeth Windstead ( x 1 million) and yeah, I liked it.
Horrible, horrible decision. The Die Hard scale of awesome runs thusly:
1. Die Hard
2. 3/Vengeance
3. 2/Harder
....
99. 4/Live Free or Suck Hard

I disagree, 2 is definitely better than 3. Samuel L Jackson can be badass, but they turned him into a sidekick. Sure he was better than Justin Long as a sidekick but still, McClaine works better alone and while Jeremy Irons can be a good villain, connecting him to Gruber was just a cheap attempt at giving McClaine a reason to do all that stuff.
They didn't 'turn him into a sidekick', SLJ just wasn't a guy known for being a leading man at the time. The biggest profile role he'd had at that point was Pulp Fiction, where even there he was part of an ensemble rather than driving the film.
The trouble with 2, which I'd like to stress that I do not think was a bad film, was that it didn't effectively marry the action with comedy in the way that one and three did. It was the darker, more serious, 'Temple of Doom' addition to the franchise. It's still a good flick, but it absolutely lost that 'buddy' angle which was present with Al in 1 and then again with Zeus in 3.

I didn't even realize we'd been having disagreements
