“A Good Day to Die Hard is pointless and joyless, a barrage of noise and chaos, an onslaught of destruction without the slightest mention of consequence.” - Christy Lemire, Associated Press

“A Good Day to Die Hard is pointless and joyless, a barrage of noise and chaos, an onslaught of destruction without the slightest mention of consequence.” - Christy Lemire, Associated Press
“Did we need another Die Hard? No. But as long as the action is this intense and superficially fun, then keep them coming.” - Rick Bentley, Fresno Bee
“It's ‘A Good Day to Die Hard,’ aka ‘We've Got No Story To Speak Of But We Do Have an Infinite Special Effects Budget and We're Not Afraid To Spend It.’" - Soren Anderson, Seattle Times
“If Harvard Business School wants to do a case study on how to debase a once-respected brand, they needn't look any further than the Die Hard movies.” - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Willis may not be the film's saving grace, but he is some kind of grace nonetheless, really the only thing in the movie.” - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
“This leaden flick is completely joyless.” - Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
“Everything that made the first "Die Hard" memorable -- the nuances of character, the political subtext, the cowboy wit -- has been dumbed down or scrubbed away entirely.” - A.O. Scott, New York Times
“While some of the sequels have been entertaining enough, "A Good Day to Die Hard" signals that it may be a better day for John McClane to retire.” - ll Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
“Die Hard 5 leaves room for McClane to make a few jokes about his thinning hair and to rue that he wasn't a better father when his kids were growing up. Oh, boo-hoo. Now go kill some more scumbags.” - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
“Loud and tedious...not a decent villain or catchphrase in it.” - Roger Moore, Movie Nation
