It seems that there is no film more divisive in the next few months than A Good Day to Die Hard. You either love it or hate it.

You either love or hate Bruce Willis.

There really is no middle ground, so I guess it's only fitting that Fox decided to release it on Valentine's Day, a holiday devoted to love that, yes, you either love or hate depending on your current Facebook status.

All of cupid's arrows notwithstanding, I think it's safe to say that A Good Day to Die Hard will deliver a sizable tremor at the box office, but will it live up to the Die Hard name? That's hard to tell, but if this latest trailer is any indication, it would appear that it's heading in the right direction.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably admit that I'm a huge fan of all of the Die Hard films, yes even Live Free or Die Hard. That being said, I do think that those who loved the first film will find more to like with this one, even if it's a "passing of the torch" story.

From the looks of this latest trailer, it seems that young Jack McClane has gone into the family business. That, of course, would be the ass-kicking business.

Grab some popcorn and prepare to be wowed.
