OH COME ON!!!! More woke social justice warrior pandering nonsense moneygrab to an established franchise! didn't we learn our lessons from Ghostbusters 2016 and Ocean's 8? those underperformed at the box office even Terminator 6 and Charlie's Angels manbashing reboot BOMBED. This Die Hard reboot is gonna fail big time. Charlize Theron wants Die Hard franchise rebootJust do a different movie with different characters and don't call it "Die Hard" as it's just lazy brand name recognition stealing to cash-in on a past success. Just do it as Atomic Blonde 2 as at least Atomic blonde is it's own thing and own franchise. But no, you just want to harp out a dead popular franchise for agenda nonsense rather than characters and stories. I'm tired of old brand name movies/film franchises brought back like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Bill and Ted etc. for agenda rather than character and story to turn a franchise into a joke. That's what kills an established beloved franchise. This is gonna bomb big time as audiences are tired of woke/Social justice warrior agenda that is piggybacking on established franchises and just want entertainment to be entertainment. Make your own damn franchise and different movie instead of piggybacking on a classic! this franchise needs to stay dead. After the last movie, i don't want anymore Die Hard movies. I'm satisfied with the trilogy and liked part 4 but should had stopped after 4. This is just a lazy gimmick for a brand name franchise. At least after Die Hard there has been similar movies like Speed, Cliffhanger, Under Siege, Air Force One etc. and i think they are enjoyable movies in their own right and had their own characters and their own identity. Who gives a damn if your straight, white, black, Asian, latino, LGBT etc. as it should not be about agenda but quality characters/entertainment/story. For example, Rocketman is my favorite movie of 2019 and it's an GLBT movie that any orientation even straight guys like myself can enjoy because it wasn't political pandering nonsense, it was ENTERTAINMENT as it had great pacing, a story, characters, outstanding visuals and terrific performances and pure entertainment. This is gonna be the franchise's New Coke (remember that?) as a soulless cash-grab where classic always sells like Coca-Cola classic. Let this idea die hard even this franchise stay dead. Come up with new franchises and new movies even similar movies to Die Hard but not use the name. Let this franchise die with some dignity and have the original trilogy enjoyed for years to come.

Theron sucks at action. It was hilarious to see her beat up guys nearly twice her size in Atomic Blonde.
She's a pathetic woke actress.

I said the same thing when they did the Jump Street movies, just call it '2 dumb cops', but no, bring in everybody who recognizes the name because it's an easy way out.

I believe Atomic Blonde is getting a sequel in fact, but it's on Netflix.

Most of these female-fronted action films shouldn't have to rely on a franchise name to get made.

Why not demand a new original female character and a new original franchise, in stead of just making a copy of something that has been done ?

They are not doing the woke stuff to be harmonious--it's combative. They want to be in your face.
If they created a whole new character then it implies the old one is fine and they want you to know it's not fine. It's obsolete patriarchy.

We know but at least is it's own franchise. And we do have fresh new action franchises like John Wick which is one of the best action franchises in years! and Mission Impossible is still going strong thanks to 5 and 6. But i think it's time to let the Die Hard franchise go, after the last movie which killed the franchise i don't want to see anymore. I'm satisfied with the original trilogy and enjoyed 4 as they should had stopped at 4.

It's up there with the best of 80s and 90s action movies. Just great, R rated adrenaline pumping action flicks. A breath of fresh air in an era of CGI dominated action movies. Can't wait for number 4. |
