Summary: DVD Hard
Review: One of the greatest DVD box sets ever created, The Die Hard Trilogy has been given the full treatment. Not that it is the most worthy. The first film, DIE HARD is a tremendous film with great characters, plot, effects, twists and production values. The next film, DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER latched onto the formula of its predecessor but that makes the second film seem like a rip-off even with some of the same virtues of the first film. The third, DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE is a definite departure for the series, providing McClaine with a partner. Yes, the series has always been very entertaining and this box set will help you enjoy the films as close to how they were intended...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best DVD
Review: First off let me say that each movie in the Die Hard Trilogy is awsome. Now let me say that this DVD collection is the greatest assembly of extras put together since the T2 Ultimate Edition. The alternate ending to Die Hard 3 is almost worth the price itself. Each movie features an extra dvd with tons of extras. The entire set can be described with one word,Incredible

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Die Hard
Review: This is the best film ever made. Fun, witty and exciting. Number 2 and 3 are absolutely brilliant too but not as good as the first one. Bruce Willis is at his best here.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Buy it for the improved transfer and added features...
Review: One reviewer mentions: "Finally! The Best Action Trilogy in DTS!" Please don't let this sway you either way. (Many people, and quite a few objective audiophile reviewers, really find little or no difference between DTS and Dolby Digital.) Am I knocking DTS? No. *If* you can hear the difference, more power to you, it's just nice that you have the option now, as opposed to earthshattering like some may have you believe.

What's more important to note is that the trilogy is still a lot of fun as home theater demo material, and that these new editions are heads and tails above the previous ones in transfer quality and extra features offered. The addition of 16x9 enhancement for all three titles is just the cherry on top of a great offering here, it's great to be able to see these at higher resolution on 16x9 sets capable of playing them back that way.

Fox has gone from one of the studios who didn't much take advantage of the DVD format to one that now provides showcase discs on a regular basis. The customer benefits from this in many ways. This new release is a great example of how to do it right.

Summary: What these movies deserve!
Review: This is an unbelievable set. The movies look absolutely beautiful and the sound is great, but what really makes this set is the extras. All three movies have commenatry by the directors. All three movies have behind the scenes specials. However my favorite extra is the alternate ending to Die Hard with a Vengeance. This is not your normal alternate ending of just re-edited footage put on the disc. This one is actually an all new ending in a new location with different dialog. Whether this ending is better or worse than the one they used is up to you to decide.

I really can't say enough good things about this set. If you are a fan of the films you need to own this set. That is it 'nuff said.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After all this time, these movies still RULE!
Review: These movies are some of my favorite. I'm really excited to see what they've done with the DTS processing in these films, seeing how there are so many explosions and other cool sound effects that could really use the LFE channel and the stereo surrounds. Can't wait to get them!

Summary: not bad for its genre
Review: the silly action cop against all odds genre has almost been capped with the die hard movies. on par with the lethal weapons and 48 hrs, but nothing to write home about. probably the best thing about the movies are the villains. the directing and writing leaves some things to be desired

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best action films ever!!!!!
Review: If you haven't seen even one Die Hard movie, than you've been living under a rock for the last 12 years! Die Hard- Lt. John McClane (Willis) is separated from his wife (Bedilia) in New York and takes a plane in L.A. to where she works, a huge Japanese company (40 story building). Terrorists seize the building but McClane gets away, barefooted, with one gun. As he roams the building trying to find a way out, he gets into many quarrels. Great film -- the best of the trilogy.

Die Harder- John McClane (Willis) has reconcilied with his wife (Bedilia) and he is waiting in the Washington D.C. airport to meet with her to visit her parents for Christmas. And again, terrorists are planning something and McClane gets wrapped up into it. Nice action and special effects -- great!

Die Hard With a Vengence- John McClane (Willis) is spit from his wife again and is back in New York. Terrorist Simon (Irons), plays games with McClane to draw attention of the police department away from what they plan on doing(I won't ruin it!). McClane pairs up with Carver (Jackson) for a wild ride. A secret is revealed that you just won't believe! Fantastic movie!!! So rent these or buy these and have a great time!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!! The Best Action Trilogy in DTS!!
Review: The Die Hard Trilogy has been out on DVD for quite some time now, but I knew that my patience would pay off, and now, it finally has!! These movies are supposed to be watched with the best sound and picture available, and now, the movies can be shown -- and heard -- in all of their glory. The DTS soundtrack included on these films will make a world of difference, from the glass shattering in Die Hard to the plane explosion in Die Harder to the helicopter demolition in Die Hard w/ a Vengeance. The original DVDs were great -- but why just settle for "great" when you can have the best? These DVDs will soon be an addition to my library, taking their place nicely beside the DTS soundtracks of the "Lethal Weapon" series (sans Lethal Weapon 4) -- another action masterpiece. I urge you to do the same.
