One of the things that made the first one so great was that it was believable. John McClane wasn't Rambo, wasn't 'Commando', wasn't even Jack Bauer. He was a cop with two kids, an estranged wife, and visibly weathered from years of family life, New York crime, and police paperwork. He cringed, complained, grunted, swore, chain smoked and made endless wise cracks to keep his sanity and to keep pushing himself.

Thats the stuff that made Die Hard 'Die Hard.'

I don't see any of that in the teaser trailer. There isn't even a wisecrack. Hell I bet they even just let the 'I'm a Mac' guy do most of the talking. It'll probably even be Long who says 'Yippy Kay Yay Mother****er! except it'll be in an instant message to the terrorist leader and will be in computer shorthand YKYMF!!

Now I feel better.
