We comic Geeks see the world differently.
Our brains are wired in nine panel grids, bursting with Krackling Kirby energy.
We are discerning and always, always looking for a good story.
So welcome to the column that will filter movies Through the Comic Book Brain.
In the firstDie Hard, a tried and true formula was established.
John McLane is the everyman struggling to overcome impossible odds and vanquish evil.
During the films climatic battle, McClane is hanging from an out of control, spinning helicopter.
So the elder McClane heads to Russia to get his son out of prison.
The hit squad includes Kamarovs own hottie daughter and some feminine dude who dances and munches on carrots.
Theres just too much happening.
You gotta love action movies, huh?
The movie doesnt tell you why because, yknow, splosions.
