Great Movie, weak ending


I love this movie up until Zeus and Mclane reach the boat. The movie just runs of steam at that point. One of the things I like about the movie is the use of the New York locations to open up the movie, it's disappointing that the ending is so bland visually.

If you watch the 1st few minutes of DH3 and skipped to the end you would think it was from a completely different movie.

I agree, I feel sort of 'awkward' the movie ended that way. I should be an eight if the movie did not finish that way.

However, I think the writer wants to end the movie at the med bottle giving the German's position away and the bad guys should be just dead one way or another.

So we can sort of considering the movie ended at the shore but yeah, I agree with you. They want to do a twist but a really long twist to make the happy ending looks very sudden.

However, I actually don't know how to fix it. Maybe one way to fix it is to have a sequel to that particular die hard movie and the bad guys lose in the sequel somehow.

@ComicNerd I pretty much agree. Once McClane uses the binary liquid to break Zeus's handcuffs, I usually stop watching.
