Without Zeus, the franchise is dead. That is to say, they all sucked except that one... and even it sucked a little bit. I'm waiting for Cable on this one. Same with the Transformers. I'll enjoy watching them on cable in December.
I look back at teh first Die Hard now and think it's barely a step above a TV drama with the pathetic acting and cheese-ball cliches (not just by Bruce). Was so 80s it makes me hurt. In fact I've seen a number of late-80s movies lately that truly make me cringe. What a retarded decade.
