Summary: THE ULTIMATE YIPPI KI YAY!
Review: THIS VIDEO IS THE BEST DIE HARD TO DATE! BRUCE WILLIS IS GREAT REPRISING HIS STAR MAKING ROLE AS JOHN McCLANE. SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS PERFECT FOR HIS ROLE. THIS MOVIE IS GREAT FUN, A GREAT STORY, AND BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Die Hard With a Vengeance
Review: The third and last installment in the Die Hard trilogy is entertaining and comes out to be the second best in the series. NYPD Lieutenant John McClane is divorced with his wife Holly, and just when he thinks things can't get much worse, insane German terrorist Simon Gruber (a briiliant performance by Jeremy Irons and the brother of villain Hans Gruber in the first film) has set loads of bombs around NYC and is sending McClane, who teams up with a hostile Harlem shopkeeper (played to perfection by Samuel L. Jackson) around the city to complete almost impossible tasks while he is stealing the gold from the Federal Reserve. The script isn't that great, yet the story is intruiging and interesting, and Willis is good once again. The music is the best of the series, and the action and stunts are incredible, including a destructive drive through NYC and subway explosion, a helicopter shootout, a fight in Harlem, and another car chase. It is great fun to watch McClane and Carver (Jackson) fight while trying to accomplish their task, and it is also fun to see McClane match wits with Gruber's slick German accent, possibly the best villain of the series. However, two things this film suffers from is the absence of Bonnie Bedilia as McClane's wife and the dark effect that Die Hard 2 had. Overall, an awesome action film and worth buying or renting.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: very disappointing
Review: Although i am a big Die Hard fan (just loved part 1 and 2) i found this one to be disappointing....the story was way out there and the quality of the movie didn't even come close to the first two...i'm just hoping that they'll make a part 4 so that the legacy wont end with this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not much left to reincarnate in Die Hard 3
Review: As if John McTeirnan has shown a terminal illness from Medicine Man on, Die Hard 3 is laborious, lifeless, logicless, and just a bore. At least you can say hats off to McTeirnan by trying to take the fun out of a character who antics and energy launched a thousand stupid knockoffs. But instead of succeeding in making Willis' McClane a darker, almost anti-hero, perhaps he should have given him some anti-depressants. The plot just doesn't know what to do with Willis' character. It makes him darker and bitter...and then he gets chased by a madmen. End of character conflict, unless you count his overwhelming angst and grief in trying to save 9 million people. Throwing in a great actor like Samuel Jackson to make up for inadequecies in Willis' writing only mildly covers it up. Jeremy Irons is always great but when the BIG SCENES involve solving riddles that could have been culled from a R.I.F. van, some writer out there didn't realize that infusing clever puzzles make not a plot clever. McTeirnan never really plots a point, he just has the characters going through one scene after another with no real progression. By the end, in an anticlimatic ending, we feel like we've gone no where...like the NY cabbie who supposed to take me five blocks and drives me halfway across the city. At least all I have to do is remember his name and I can report him. If McTeirnan makes too many more films like this, no ones gonna remember him, let alone write it down...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an action film that makes you think?
Review: OK...I like Bruce Willis, but am not a big fan of his Die Hard films,guess they are geared toward men. I did find myself really loving this one, however, and I finally broke down and added it to my collection...guess I'm a Die Hard fan now. Not only were the actors perfect for their roles, but the thinking behind the "clues" was ingenius. How many action films of this caliber actually make you think for the suspense? OK...can you remember how lomg it took you to figure out the first time which president they were looking for? By the time I got it, they were already saving children....guess I would have failed the test! Jeremy Irons was great, you really wanted to hate him, and if it's possible to feel MORE sorry for John McClane, I think this film did it. Still a high action, shoot em up film ,but the story and actors made it,if you can imagine, more beleivable. I highly recommend it to anyone who wasn't thrilled with the first two in the trilogy but still want a good Bruce Willis action movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Die Hard 3 is 3rd Best
Review: Bruce Willis is back for a third go around as John McClane, the cop with the worst luck in the world. It seems everywhere McClane goes, he gets himself involved in the most outrageous and implausible-not to mention lethal-circumstances imaginable. This time is no different.

The plot, to the extent there is one, is pretty thin. A brilliant, but insane terrorist named Simon (Jeremy Irons) has planted several bombs around New York City. If McClane doesn't do what he tells him, then he'll start exploding the bombs. (Simon says do this, Simon says do that. Get it?)

McClane spends most of his time running around the city, from pay phone to pay phone, always arriving just in the nick of time. If this sounds familiar, then you've probably seen "Dirty Harry" which featured the same plot device, although it was used to better effect in that film.

The story is not really what is important in this film, however. It is mainly just a framework to hang the elaborate action sequences on. There are several of those and they are good ones. A massive explosion in a subway and a scene on a cargo ship are both quite spectacular.

In action movies nowadays it is pretty tough to outdo the last blockbuster film and come up with something new. The makers of "Die Hard With a Vengeance" have tried their best and they have done a fair job of it. There is nothing revolutionary here like you saw in "True Lies," but the action is fast and furious and certainly never boring.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This movie ''died hard''!
Review: This movie(Die Hard With a Vengeance)did not surprise me with the ending of the trilogy Die Hard.Some scenes were poor,and olso there was not a good plot and music behind it.So rent this movie don't buy it.And never listen to those other creeps saying that it was marvelous because it wasn't.And it won't be worth the money to rent it either.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best "Die Hard" yet!
Review: What an adrenaline rush this movie is!

Pros:

*The mostexplosive part of the series.

*Samuel L. Jackson was terrific. Hewas very funny, too.

*Pretty creative plot. Smart twists.

*Very funny sometimes. That part where Bruce Willis stands in the middle of Harem with that sign has to be one of the funniest moments in action film history!

*Jeremy Irons was brilliant. So was Bruce Willis.

*The action scenes (especially the explosions) are to die for.

*There's something about the movie (I don't know what it is),but it makes it delightful to watch. Maybe because a lot of scenes were shot in a sunny day...

Bottom line: excellent movie! This is action at its very best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Worst From The Trilogy.
Review: The worst from the trilogy the secondary actors where the ones who destroyed this movie together with some parts of the story but the secondary actors the captain, the FBI agents, the secretary nobody knew how to act only Willis, Jackson and Irons all of the rest where a waste of money and damage to the film which already had many plot holes.
