It's simply old-school stunts and movie magic. - 80
Variety
The sheer quantity of often outrageous stunts should help overcome franchise mustiness to entertain. - 75
Chicago Tribune
Early in LFODH, a villain taunts our hero, calling him "a Timex in a digital world"; McClane, characteristically, takes the dig as a compliment. Two hours, countless butt-kickings and hairbreadth escapes later, we know why. - 75
Baltimore Sun
The film's action doesn't disappoint; if anything, it ups the adrenaline ante considerably. - 75
New York Post
Willis, who at 52 looks great in an intensely physical role and can still spit out wisecracks and insults with the best of them. - 75
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Director Len Wiseman, confidently stepping up from the smallish budget "Underworld" films to mega-budget Hollywood mainstream. - 70
Washington Post
At a time when the action genre has come to be dominated by sleek, matte surfaces and set-'em-and-forget-'em computerized effects, Live Free or Die Hard seeks to remind viewers of the simple, nostalgic pleasures of watching stuff get blown up and bad guys get smoked. - 70
The New York Times
Bruce Willis is ready to earn our love again by performing the same lovably violent, meathead tricks as before.
