Die Hart: Die Harter

I have watched the 2023 movie "Die Hart", but not the TV series. In fact I didn't know that there was a series before I looked up the 2024 movie "Die Hart: Die Harter" here on IMDb. I did enjoy the 2023 movie, but I didn't even know that they were making a sequel. So when I stumbled upon "Die Hart: Die Harter" by random chance, of course I opted to watch it.

Writers Tripper Clancy and Derek Kolstad managed to come up with a fair enough script, though I have to say that it didn't have the appeal and entertainment value as the first movie. Sure, "Die Hart: Die Harter" was watchable enough for what it was, but it wasn't exactly an outstanding movie experience.

The acting performances in the movie were fair, and they certainly had a good enough cast ensemble to bring the story to life on the screen.

There were a fair amount of action sequences throughout the course of the movie, and they definitely helped to keep the movie afloat.

Sure, I was adequately entertained throughout the course of the 92 minutes that the movie ran for. But it is hardly a movie that I will return to watch a second time.

My rating of "Die Hart: Die Harter", from director Eric Appel, lands on a five out of ten stars.

KH stumbled as the leading role in this movie. The first 10-15 minutes required him to deliver so much dialogue it was clear he's in over his head in this stage of his career. He is a decent co-star and can deliver some comedy when needed. But this was a hard watch because he was struggling to be relevant in his own movie.

I'll give him 2 stars for convincing Hollywood backers to make this film. If it was anyone else they would have tossed this script into the fireplace. I'm a fan of KH and know that he can be funny unfortunately parodying yourself in a parody movie is a negative in my book. Comes off as a joke and it wasn't even funny the first time around.

This is highly probably the worst movie i have ever seen, and i've seen a LOT, painful to watch. I lost hour and a half of my life that i'll never get them back. Everything is bad in this movie, the script is bad, no humor at all...everything. Whoever green lighted this thing to be filmed should be sued, and should definitely look for other career. If there was a minus rating I would have given it minus ten. Obviously they tried to make something original and funny but failed miserably in both fields. If someone need an example for something that is opposite of fun and good movie this should be it.

Usually, I'd take some time and think about my words carefully before leaving a review, but since the people responsible for producing this movie didn't care about making a good movie, I'm not going to bother trying too hard with my review. Normally, I love Kevin Hart and John Cena and they really gave it their all in this movie. I mean, I think they really tried to make a good movie. But somebody, probably the director, Eric Appel, just didn't do a good job. Everything just seems off somehow. Is this a parody? Is this supposed be in the same genre as Naked Gun? Because if it is, it's terrible. Is this a comedy? Because if it's supposed to be, it isn't funny. Is this an action movie? Because if it is, the action sucked.

I just don't get it. Both the writers, Tripper Clancy and Derek Kolstad, have written for movies and shows that I really enjoyed. But the writing for this is just plain dumb. I don't know if they just didn't care or were forced to write something they didn't want to write, but it's just so childish and lazy.

The acting from everyone involved is clumsy and that's why I suspect the problem is with the direction. I just don't understand why this movie got made. It looks like it's got a budget. It's shot decently. Nothing to write home about, but it suffices, I guess. The audio is pretty terrible, though. There are many parts throughout the movie where the sound goes up and down and it's really off-putting.

I guess, if you have nothing else to watch and you've consumed many, I mean MANY, mind altering beverages and you desperately need some background sounds to listen to as you're passing out, this might hit the spot for you. Otherwise, I'd skip this. It's definitely not worth paying for.

Sadly Kevin making his own movies just isn't working. Be it the directors, producers I don't know. Love Kevin Hart normally but the last few movies I've watch of his have been unbelievably bad. Does nobody watch these things back before they release them. This is just cringy and embarrassing to watch. The female actor is just so false and such a bad actress it is pitiful yo watch Story line is awful and it is just not funny at all Kevin Hart desperately needs a new crew or a different audience to pre watch these things before even attempting to release them into.the market as the criticisms will just pile up.
