This movie is very intense lol. But what i noticed during the movie was that most of the time somebody got hurt really bad, the director made it seem as though they were OK. Like for example when the traffic signals were being controlled, the bus hit a taxi cab and Bruce Willis ask the taxi driver "Are you ok? We'll get you a medic" and also when he was fighting the guy in the stairway, he made him talk on the walky talky, he shot him, and then said "I'll get you a doctor" So im guessing that the director had pity for some of the characters that were attacked. P.S the movie would have been better if they kept the terrorists anonymous to keep the movie more suspenseful. Just my opinion

What Parents Need to Know
About Live Free or Die Hard
Parents need to know that although this fourth Die Hard movie is the first in the franchise not to get an R rating (which may be more about the culture than the movie itself), it's still full of frequent, noisy, painful-looking violence that yields plenty of injuries and dead bodies. Expect bloody shootings, falls, body smashes, strangulations, punches, slaps, kicks, spectacular car crashes and flips, huge explosions, and ferocious hand-to-hand fights. A boy puts his hand on Lucy's bra during a make-out session; there are also brief cleavage shots and an extended kiss. Language includes an unfinished exclamation of "Yippee-ki-yay, motherf---er," as well as multiple uses of "s--t," "hell," and "ass."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why we love action movies. What is it about filmgoers that we like to see things blow up? Talk with your kids about the difference between real life and fantasy -- even teens (especially if they're driving). Point out that consequences exist -- even if it makes you feel humorless. The fact that violent movies stimulate parts of the brain bears some commentary from the parental units.

for at least 12 year olds
I thought this was a pretty good movie. But I saw the unrated version and in the unrated version they say the f-word 15 times. But otherwise it's not that bad.

ACTION!!!!!!!!!
This is the best Die Hard I've seen so far!Good thing it got its PG-13 rating so more kids can enjoy this fun thriller.

Perfect for 12+
Well, Great Movie and plot. But a little bit of an Apocolyptic feeling. Lots of Violence (but nothing a street-smart teen (most teens are, btw) cannot handle. They would find it entertaining). Lots of Hard Language. I don't think SC is a problem. No Drinking/Drugs besides a perscription drug being used properly.

OMG!!!!!!
THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!!!There wasn't anything for parents to really get mad or worried about because the cussing wasn't that bad, no sexuality,(exept the beginnnig where the daughter is maken-out with a guy). Bruce Willis does a very, very good job in this movie.

Lacks the fun of the other die hards, still terrific.
CSM, first rates this 14+, which i think is more appropiate, though i let my little bro watch it when he was 12, because i knew he couls handle it. This movie lacks the language of the other 3 Die Hard films, but it still has plennty, including: shit, damn, ass, and asshole, what the hell, and finally a faded out Yippy Kia Yay! Mother F*cker. The movie also lacks some of the fun in the earlier films, but dont get me wrong, Bruce Willis, Is a heck of a lot of fun in this movie, % stars baby!

The director's cut of the PG-13 Die Hard
John McClane returns in the modern-day Die Hard. This is a review of the Unrated cut of the film: The profanity count is over 100 in this film. Numerous uses of f--k and other profane words. Sex is not an issue. Violence, as usual, is strong.

Good sequel
Bruce Willis has done it again and had dies even harder in this new movie. There was a lot of violence in this movie and Willis' character always seems to be blowing something up. Justin long does a good job with his character, although there is quite a bit of language. Overall, this was a good film.

Action-Packed
This was a fast moving, action-packed movie. My husband and I both loved it. Our 15 year old daughter didn't care for it.

John McClane is back and better than ever, baby!
For all of those haters who thought that the first non-R-rated Die Hard would be too wimpy, you guys are way wrong, because this one pushes PG-13 to the limit, thankfully! I actually think this one was better than the other 3, but in a VERY close second is the classic first. So everyone that misssed this, go check it out, because it really rocks! PS Kudos to up-and-coming star Justin Long, the hardcore ninja girl, and acting vet Bruce Willis!
