Very true. It also suffered from the "everyone else is dumb except the stars of the movie" thing that I personally hate. Every major agency was probably involved in stopping this from happening but the only people that got close was an old cop, some 17 year old kid and Kevin Smith. It felt very contrived. In most of the other scenarios John was the only person that could do anything and it was very clear. Especially in the first one.

To be fair, that's been in every Die Hard. Remember the FBI guys in the first? Then NYPD Blue guy in 2? Then, well, everyone with the reserve bank in 3?

I didn't mind 4, I thought it had good pacing, even though the stunts were ridiculous. I feel like all the sequels have some sort of plot problem. I thought Die Hard 3's ending pretty much sucked and petered out the movie. Die Hard 2 had some nonsensical turn at the end. 4 has ridiculous stunts and a goofier plot.
