Harry Potter and Die Hard 4.0

Recently I went to see the fifth Harry Potter movie in the cinemas. I nice experience, as I was looking forward to the movie and was not disappointed. I think it was worth waiting for. My only negative comment would be that I was sad I could not get a gold class ticket, either way it was fun.

Yesterday I went to see the new die hard movie. While it was full of action and things happening, I was disappointed in its lack of realism. Unlike Harry Potter where realism in not terribly important, Die hard must cling to some resemblance of reality. Clearly a fighter jet chasing a truck at almost road level down a highway is just stupid. Secondly once you get past the endless hacker crap, which entailed the usual array of mythical user interfaces and cinema l33t speak, it was hard to focus on the story. The other comment would be if someone gets thrown through a wall, then hit by a car, they will at least have broken something....wake up you studio jerks!

Lastly I would say the paying $17.50AUD for an adult ticket is just robbery. While I would never encourage theft, the cost here may be an indication into why people don't go to the movies. For Harry Potter I didn't mind but for just the normal studio crap like die hard.... ggggrrrr!
