I caught the last Die Hard on TV the other week, Was expecting some mindless nonesense that would be mildly entertaining. In the previous films, they were a bit daft but within the realms of possibility. Many of the films relying on stunt men with a few special effects. However, the latest film used so much CGI it was almost like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon. It seems Mr Willis doesn't die hard these days more that he is an indestructable super human. He can jump onto a fighter Jet and jump off as it's crashing, he can get alsorts of heavy machinery thrown at him and remain unscathed.

Not to mention Indiana Jones can escape nuclear explosions by flying through the air in an old Fridge.
IMHO CGI has ruined many modern action/adventure films. OK, Lord of the Rings, Sci-Fi etc it makes sense, but films supposedly based in the real world need some sort of credibility and film makers need to credit the audience with some sort of inteligence.
