I hate films that cuss for the sake of it. It ruins it when a writer is unable to think of anything more creative than fuck fuck fuck. That doesn’t mean I hate cussing. It just needs to be written by a good writer. It can be the poetry of the street, but it can also be a crutch.
However, in Die Hard’s case, you can’t set up a character this way and then completely change it by taking away the swearing that became a part of John McClane’s character.
