Die Hart: Die Harter

I have watched the 2023 movie "Die Hart", but not the TV series. In fact I didn't know that there was a series before I looked up the 2024 movie "Die Hart: Die Harter" here on IMDb. I did enjoy the 2023 movie, but I didn't even know that they were making a sequel. So when I stumbled upon "Die Hart: Die Harter" by random chance, of course I opted to watch it.

Writers Tripper Clancy and Derek Kolstad managed to come up with a fair enough script, though I have to say that it didn't have the appeal and entertainment value as the first movie. Sure, "Die Hart: Die Harter" was watchable enough for what it was, but it wasn't exactly an outstanding movie experience.

The acting performances in the movie were fair, and they certainly had a good enough cast ensemble to bring the story to life on the screen.

There were a fair amount of action sequences throughout the course of the movie, and they definitely helped to keep the movie afloat.

Sure, I was adequately entertained throughout the course of the 92 minutes that the movie ran for. But it is hardly a movie that I will return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Die Hart: Die Harter", from director Eric Appel, lands on a five out of ten stars.

I like Kevin Hart and John Cena and enjoy movies about movie making; but, this was something else. It is as if it tried to be Naked Gun one minute, Get Shorty the next, then Misery ...I don't think it knew what it was trying to be. Perhaps it was the directing; but, the writing seemed disjointed and the acting awkward and clumsy. I'm not sure it would even be a good way to pass the time when there was nothing, nothing at all, left to watch. I wish I had spent the time reading a decent book. Not sure how movies like this are allowed to be made; but, it seems that with streaming options and direct to DVD, the bar has been lowered....and yet the movie industry wonders why theater ticket sales are dropping. I was disappointed by this movie and I did not even leave my living room. I cannot imagine how I would feel had I paid to see this in a theater. If you have nothing else to watch, try this; but, be prepared to turn it off half way through.

This is highly probably the worst movie i have ever seen, and i've seen a LOT, painful to watch. I lost hour and a half of my life that i'll never get them back. Everything is bad in this movie, the script is bad, no humor at all...everything. Whoever green lighted this thing to be filmed should be sued, and should definitely look for other career. If there was a minus rating I would have given it minus ten. Obviously they tried to make something original and funny but failed miserably in both fields. If someone need an example for something that is opposite of fun and good movie this should be it.

KH stumbled as the leading role in this movie. The first 10-15 minutes required him to deliver so much dialogue it was clear he's in over his head in this stage of his career. He is a decent co-star and can deliver some comedy when needed. But this was a hard watch because he was struggling to be relevant in his own movie.

I'll give him 2 stars for convincing Hollywood backers to make this film. If it was anyone else they would have tossed this script into the fireplace. I'm a fan of KH and know that he can be funny unfortunately parodying yourself in a parody movie is a negative in my book. Comes off as a joke and it wasn't even funny the first time around.

I'm quite surprised how negative the reviews are, I found this to be a good comedy and an excellent sequel!

If You are in for the action, You probably will be disappointed: It's comedy with action sequence that were clearly made for a comedy.

The movie excels were other sequels disappoint: It continues the story, the characters stay true to the first part, it reminiscences the plot of the first one, but doesn't copy it.

There are also some twists that don't write movie history but did make me laugh pretty hard. After the let down that the movie Lift was, this is again a good and funny movie with Kevin Hart!
