Another great edit from Malthus. My thoughts on the original theatrical cut was it was an average, the action was fine, the villain was pretty good and it was one of the more weaker die hard movies. This edit definitely upped my enjoyment of the movie by seamlessly integrating the deleted scenes, giving the movie much better colour grading and having better larger subtitles. The rescoring done was also top notch the "New York, New York" sequence which was just fantastic- really felt like an iconic moment. One nitpick I have though is the car park deleted scene in which the punching sound effects were a bit cartoonish like it was from street fighter- why the director or movie editor put those effects on the deleted scene is beyond me. Overall if like me you found Die Hard 5 pretty meh and want to revisit it for a die hard marathon this is the edit for you to replace the theatrical version.
