Summary: Definately Worth an Upgrade
Review: The New Die Hard Box Set is a revolutionary box set for the revolutionary movie series. The Die Hards were the first big action movies and each DVD in here is LOADED, loaded with 2 discs, that means Die Hard, Die Harder and Die Hard With a Vengeance all have 2 discs (one disc for the movie, trailer, notes, commentary and DTS sound, and the second disc for supplemental material). Die Hard one will be the elusive Fox Five star series, which means it's 'collectable.' If you don't know whether you want it, go ahead and get it! Show off your home theater with these top-notch DVD's. If you are an owner of the old Box Set, you better go on ebay and sell it now, because this is definately worth the upgrade!

Summary: Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection is the best
Review: The Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection may be the best action/adventure series of the last two decades (vastly more enjoyable than the sporadic Bond films, and the self-indulgent Lethal Weapon movies), and a lion-share of the credit must go to Bruce Willis, the wise-cracking, superhuman yet humane hero. Willis became a superstar with the first Die Hard, and he is riveting as John McClain, the New York cop in L.A. With the always watchable Bonnie Bedelia as his wife, and the flashy Alan Rickman as the mercenary/entrepenour, the film is a non-stop rollercoaster ride! Die Hard 2 lacks Rickman's charisma as the villain, but Willis again gives a dynamite performance, and Bedelia is even better than in the first film. Spectacular special effects abound! Die Hard With a Vengence, the weakest of the trio, was originally intended as Lethal Weapon 4, but was rewritten for Willis and Samuel Jackson. Bedelia's absence hurts the third film a great deal, but Jeremy Irons (as Rickman's equally greedy brother) is an excellent villain. Incredible pyrotechnics highlight this film, and Willis is still a joy...And rumor has it, there WILL be a Die Hard 4!

Summary: The Best
Review: The Die Hard Trilogy is the best pure action trilogy ever made. These movies are by far Bruce Willis's best roles as New York cop John McClane. He battles terrorists on a high rise building,in airport terminals, and through the streets of NYC. The whole series is great. Buy this right now you won't be sorry.

Summary: Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection
Review: I am a long time fan of the Bruce Willis and these are the movies that got me started. I believe the "Die Hard" series is one of the most action packed, non-stop thrill rides avaliable in hollywood video to this date. The storys center around 'John McClane' and his bad luck. I wouldnt want to spoil the story, but I do reccomend the entire Die Hard series. ~Crono Sirius

Summary: Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection
Review: It's three classic movies in one. I love all Bruce Willis's movies and they're all the best movies but all Die Hard's throws you back in your seat trying to guess what happens next. By the time you think you have the plot down some other event happens like in Die Hard With a Vengeance when you find out he killed his brother in the first one. The first one is him saving his wife and hostages from a building, the second one he saves her from an airplane with no landing spot, and the third one he saves all of New York City children when he really only discovers the best plot ever created for any movie and then he try's to go back to his marriage. I have nothing bad to say about the movies except they should be making more. Die Hard has the best plot, the best acting so why stop now when they have the "Die Hard" fans, most there movies on amazon are not in stalk, the new Die Hard - The Ultimate Collection is coming so they better make plenty copies.

Summary: Two greats, one good.
Review: When "Die Hard" hit movie screens, no one expected much. Bruce Willis was just that TV guy from "Moonlighting." But John McTiernan's direction, some great effects, and a star making performance from Willis made this a must see. Even though it was set on Christmas Eve and released in late summer. Renny Harlin's "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" seemed like just an excuse for a sequel. But again, the magic came back into play. McTiernan returned to direct the third installment. Which fortunately adds the great Samuel L. Jackson to the mix. Unfortunately, it saddles Jackson and Willis with the tired old racial issues that were played out in buddy movies back in "48 Hrs." It turns out that "Die Hard with a Vengence" was the excuse for a sequel. This is a great set though. DVD really plays to the strengths of this high energy trilogy.

Summary: Great Action Value
Review: I don't know about you, but I'm a fan of Bruce Willis. The sound and picture qualities of the Die Hard Trilogy movies were great, the only regret that I had was I did not buy this collection earlier.

Summary: The Die Hard Trilogy
Review: Get ready to grab your popcorn, soda, and hit the recliner for hours of incredible non-stop action. Bruce Willis stars in the role that made him a star as NYPD cop John McClane. The original Die Hard introduces the series and is the best of them all. It is Christmas and McClane hopes to reconcile with his estranged wife when a German terrorist group holds the L.A. skyscraper where his wife's office party is taking place hostage. Alan Rickman is a suprisingly suave and intellectuall villain with his German accent. Action and stunts are spectacular, along with Richard Edlund's visual effects. Climaxes with McClane hurling villain Grauber out of the building. Super exciting and Oscar nominations for sound, film editing, sound effects editing, and visual effects. Die Hard 2 takes place again at Christmas time at a Washington D.C. airport where McClane is waiting for his for his wife to when terrorists take over. Very unrealistic, yet very taut and suspenseful. Highlights include the a snowmobile chase, gunfights with scaffolds, a fight on the wing of a moving plane, and McClane ejecting himself from an exploding plane. A carbon copy of the original. The darkness and orange glare of the lights are effective, and even though there is a plot twist, the story is a mess of holes. Also boast's the famous line, "Yippe ki yah" Die Hard With A Vengeance emerges as the second best of the series, also boasting the most interesting and intriguing plot with McClane divorced and turning into an alcoholic when more trouble erupts. Simon Gruber, (alias Peter Krieg) the brother of the villain in the original, comes to New York City bringing loads of explosives and loads of trouble. While taking care of McClane, (who teams up with a hostile Harlem storekeeper played to perfection by Samuel L. Jackson), the police, and the FBI, he plans to steal the Federal Reserves' cache of gold. Music tends to be a bit annoying, but the stunts and action are amazing, especially a maniacal drive through NYC and the derailment of a speeding subway. Other action is a shootout between McClane and Gruber (who is in a helicopter) and the taking of the Federal Reserve bank. This time, however, Jeremy Irons steals the show as Gruber with menace, cool, and a cunning German accent. It is fun watching McClane and Carver (Jackson) run around NYC to meet Gruber's demands, including the famous Simon says/trash can scene. The profanity also reaches new levels. Overall, the Die Hard series is possibly the most strict action series out there and worth many watches.
