I probably won't get around to seeing it until Sunday night....just curious if anyone has seen it yet and what you thought....its pretty much the best action movie franchise ever made :)

Indiana Jones might argue with that.

Lots of action, not as much snappy banter as past movies. Very cool death for the bad guy. Oh, I'm sorry, should I not have mentioned the bad guy dies?

It was so so.
Not as bad as the critics say. Not excellent however the father/son dynamic is sappy and misplaced imo. (I have no kids fwiw)
The villian is sub par =*(.
The story and twists and turns were not bad. Lots of disjointed action scenes. At no point did I ever get bored with a fight/chase scene though and just want it to be over. (see bourne movies)

I'm sure we could watch Indiana Jones and find some far fetched stunts as well...

I have kids. Would never have spent money to take them to see something like this, though I wouldn't have kept them from seeing it on cable when they were old enough. Texted my daughter at college today to ask if she was going to see it. Got a frowny face back, then a note later saying how disappointed she was in Bruce Willis after his career turning performance in Moonrise Kingdom to do a piece of crap like this. (She's a film major)
These things write themselves. A young, up and coming spec-eff director can knock it out in eight or nine weeks for nine figures. In the mean time, ten great screenplays get turned down because this kind of crap lines up morons at the multiplex who want extra butter on their popcorn.
Loved the first one. Hate sequels in general. This franchise in particular. I hate how a potentially great actor has compromised his career doing this kind of thing over and over.

my soon to be 18 year old saw it last night and thought it was great-so I imagine it will depend upon one's age and perspective

Saw it last night with my two college age daughters. Eh, not so hot. I called it the "Bruce Willis retirement charity event". As stated previously, a movie franchise will always go one movie too deep (in search of ever increasing ROI). This one was weak.

Ummm, kinda like Indiana Jones jumping out of a plane and landing on a mountainside in a raft? Let's just start with that one.

What? You mean that doesn't work?
Shoot, what do I tell my wife and two kids about the four fridges in my back yard now.

The commercials for this movie just do not appeal to me. I can't identify in any way shape or form with the characters. It looks like they just decided to do the obligatory chase sequences and explosions with some really snappy dialogue in between action sequences.
Okay.
Great.
I'll wait for it on TV and probably won't get through 5 minutes of it.
That is what remote control is for.
By the way, the first Die Hard, before they sequelized it to make a few bucks, is the action movie gold standard along with the Indie Jones flicks but I do think the Indie Jones flicks are a franchise and the sequels are as good or almost as good as the original but with Die Hard it should have died a long time ago. Like the Rocky franchise, are you kidding, Yo Rock you can't fight Dat Guy but I gotta Fight dat Guy, give me a break.
Basically, I agree word for word with Strange Gator.

Funny, I don't remember Bruce Willis' character in the Indy movies.
The first 3 DH movies kept at least one foot grounded in reality. The last one didn't.

Whats ironic is that the plot of the last one is the one in my opinion, that has the greatest likelihood of actually happening in this day and age...

Didn't like it so much and sadly made me appreciate the 4th one.
