Die Hard- 10/10
Review of Die Hard DVD by
chris15243
Advantages: Anybody can enjoy it.
Disadvantages: None
...going to be appearing in Die Hard i thought, brilliant. Bruce Willis is an amazing actor. The performance he gave was spectacular. He is one f the greatest actors in my opinion, when it comes to action films. The plot was very well thought out. I loved the film and the next 3 films that were produced after, were phenomenal. Also Alan Rickman playing a bad guy was a match made in heaven. His voice was perfect when he was giving Bruce an ultimatum.

Rambo review.
Review of Rambo DVD by
tizzlearrandizzle
Advantages: Lots of action.
Disadvantages: Not much of a story.
When I watched Rambo I was pleasently suprised. These days films like this are bringing out yet another, most turn out to be dissapointing. A prime example being Terminator. The first two films being excellent for their time, and the 3rd adding something which I feel wasn't needed. This is what I was expecting when I put this film into the DVD player. However, I genuinly enjoyed this film, in a Rambo fan way. The film again does not fail to please ... ...disspointment with this film was the lack of real storyline. Many people may watch this and think, its just an excuse for over the top violence and blood. Yet this is one of the things which attracts people to Rambo. If your looking for a DVD with lots of graphic killing and none stop action, then this is the film for you. Despite his age Stallone is still going strong! Top notch! ...

Live Free DIE HARD!
Review of Die Hard 4.0 DVD by
jimbo006
Advantages: Willis back to his best, outstanding special effects, non stop action
Disadvantages: No date for the next installment
...The new instalment in the Die Hard franchise is bigger and better tan all before it, it is clear a lot of money has been spent as the special effects are amazing. If you liked the previous Die Hard films, although the new one feels like it is filmed in a slightly different style, you will love this new one as it is a proper action packed film!
McClane returns to take on the terrorists again but this time they have gone digital. With the help of ... ...computer hacker, they attempt to do what McClane does best… Save the day!
I don't want to leave too many spoilers so I will sign off by saying this is an outstanding film and I highly recommend it. Especially keep your eye out for McClanes guide to destroying helicopters and the Jet Vs the truck scene, awesome!! ...

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!
Review of Gladiator DVD by
acesangel
Advantages: acting, fighting, soundtrack
Disadvantages: some boring scene, gory at times
Gladiator is one of my all time favourite movies and I have watched it countless times, in fact when me and my brother were younger we used to know the timings of the best fight scenes so we could fast-forward our video to them- extremely sad I know! Anyway I have since updated my copy of Gladiator to DVD and I still enjoy watching it.
This is Russell Crowe's best performance as Maximus, he begins the film as a general in the army and caesars right ... ...with Maximus and kills his father and banishes Maximus, killings his young family. Maximus is sold as a slave and soon has to find for his life in the ring as a gladiator. The fight scenes in this film are amazing but may be a bit graphic for younger viewers and those that are a bit squemish. Maximus fights alone, on chariots and with horses. The film is 3 hours long and some scenes do drag such as those between the young and new caesar and his sister ...
