Die Hart: Die Harter

I'm quite surprised how negative the reviews are, I found this to be a good comedy and an excellent sequel!

If You are in for the action, You probably will be disappointed: It's comedy with action sequence that were clearly made for a comedy.

The movie excels were other sequels disappoint: It continues the story, the characters stay true to the first part, it reminiscences the plot of the first one, but doesn't copy it.

There are also some twists that don't write movie history but did make me laugh pretty hard. After the let down that the movie Lift was, this is again a good and funny movie with Kevin Hart!

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.

I don't know why nobody else pointed this out, but they seem to have compiled 'Die Hart' TV Series into a "new movie". I started getting the intense feeling of a Deja Vu while watching 'Die Hart 2: Die Harter' and couldn't quite put my finger on why it all seemed so familiar. After a bit of web surfing I found out the exact reason - I watched the same thing in a TV series format 'Die Hart'. Every single plot point. I fast-forwarded through this "new movie" trying to find out whether I could simply be wrong or if they were trying to show parts of the old story to people who haven't seen the series in order to reveal the next plot point, but it was exactly as I feared - the same exact thing from the series, with bits and pieces cut out to fit the feature film length.

I honestly couldn't believe they would do such a shameless money grab, it's like a whole new low.

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.

I like Kevin Hart and John Cena and enjoy movies about movie making; but, this was something else. It is as if it tried to be Naked Gun one minute, Get Shorty the next, then Misery ...I don't think it knew what it was trying to be. Perhaps it was the directing; but, the writing seemed disjointed and the acting awkward and clumsy. I'm not sure it would even be a good way to pass the time when there was nothing, nothing at all, left to watch. I wish I had spent the time reading a decent book. Not sure how movies like this are allowed to be made; but, it seems that with streaming options and direct to DVD, the bar has been lowered....and yet the movie industry wonders why theater ticket sales are dropping. I was disappointed by this movie and I did not even leave my living room. I cannot imagine how I would feel had I paid to see this in a theater. If you have nothing else to watch, try this; but, be prepared to turn it off half way through.
