Let's just go ahead and get this part of it out of the way: the computers and the plot are ridiculous.
Whew. Now that we have that out of the way, the action is TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT. Sure, there are a couple of lulls, but man, when it ramps, this puppy goes from zero to 260 heartbeats per minute in nothin' flat. Seriously, they should be stopping people with pacemakers at the door.
In terms of Die Hards, this one flies by 2 and 3 and holds its own, neck-in-neck, with the first one, only losing out because no one can hold a candle to Alan Rickman.
If you've been disillusioned with the promises and letdowns of this year's blockbusters, overcome inertia and go see this film. It does not disappoint.

I've been seriously avoiding it because of the computer stuff. My bullshit meter is particularly susceptible to that crap.
Well, you can leave your bullshit meter at home, because if you need any help spotting any of the numerous gaffes in this film, we're taking away your SA privileges.
More to the point, if your discomfort at watching computers do Things Computers Are Unlikely to Do can be offset by big explosions, chases, and fights, then you should be fine with DH4.
