Im a big fan of die hard, and the quadrilogy is amazing!

Advantages: Action packed from beginning to end, brilliant price.
Disadvantages: maybe a little far-fetched for some viewers

...boxset contains all 4 up-to-date Die Hard movies. And if you havent seen them all they are brilliant, and the new Die Hard 4.0 is just that extra step better. It has included several other brilliant actors apart from Bruce Willis himself. And we all know that for Die Hard to be good it has to be full of far-fetched moves and actions and this one is the same as the others X10. It is brilliant having all the Die Hard DVD's in this one collection of ...
...movies really are. Die Hard is full of action, violence and sly dogs who turn on their own people, and thats what makes me love them, they are all full of twisted storylines that will grasp every member in the audience. I assure it. This is along many other DVD boxsets in my collection and it is definately one of the best. And i would recommend many other films with bruce willis, he is a brilliant actor. The casing of the dvd cover itself is amazing ...

Review of Die Hard Quadrilogy - Die Hard/Die Hard 2/Die Hard With A Vengence/Die Hard 4.0 (Box Set) (DVD)

One of the best action films of the 80s

Advantages: Excellent plot, Clever moves
Disadvantages: None

Die Hard is one of the best action films and definitely one of the top 80s movie. It made Bruce Willis' career and the Die Hard series spawned 4 more movies - culminating to Die Hard 4 release in 2007. --- the BASICS --- Die Hard is an action thriller film released in 1988. It starred Bruce Willis as John McClane - an eventual household fictional name. The film is directed by John McTiernan. The plot is actually based on the novel "Nothing Lasts ...
...THOUGHT --- (!!SPOILERS!!) The Die Hard series and many other action movies suffer from one thing - the main character is invincible. McClane took millions of bullets but is never killed - just mildly wounded (see Last Action Hero - an excellent spoof). Other than this Die Hard is anything but just another action movie. Its excellent plot, edge-of-the-seat action and clever moves leave its viewers guessing what will happen next. You always know McClane ...

Review of Die Hard (DVD)

Who needs Christmas Crackers with Bruce Willis around? BANG!!

Advantages: Great film with lots of action
Disadvantages: None for me

DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER FILM ONLY REVIEW This is the second of four Die Hard films. The main character John McClane, of course, played by Bruce Willis. John McClane is a tough, brave, strong and ready for anything sort of guy - as we saw in the first Die Hard!! His story: John McClane was once a New York City police officer. His wife Holly played by Bonnie Bedelia finds a job in California and decided leave to start a life ...
...the L.A.P.D. Like Die Hard; Die Hard 2 begins on Christmas Eve in an airport, though this is in Dulles airport in Washington D.C. as opposed to L.A. International Airport. The Story: McClane is waiting for his wife to fly in , but his Christmas does not start off so good, when his car is towed away for parking in a tow away zone. When a group of unauthorized individuals walk into a baggage area which is restricted and usually locked off. ...

Review of Die Hard 2 (DVD)

Die Hard - I should not have left it so long!

Advantages: Gripping and clever story
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really

...only just watched the first Die Hard, but I really did not think it was my type of film....oh how wrong I was. Thbe complexity behind the story in this film is fantastic. Bruce Willis plays John McClane, an exceedingly credible cocky cop! He goes to meet his estranged wife at her office party and their is a hold up, he manages to hide and avoid being taken to the main area where everyone is being held. The criminal in charge is played by Alan Rickman, ...
...best actors for this era. He is smooth, slimy and his words purr in a way that makes your hair stand up on end! From McCane's freedom on the many many floors he has at his disposal he manages to contact the police, who send a single polliceman to survey the scene. Via radios the policeman and McClane make friends or at least begin to trust one another and when the police finally descend upon them they have a mutual dislike of the way they are handling ...

Review of Die Hard (Special Edition) (DVD)

the last samurai

Advantages: epic
Disadvantages: cliched movie

...little room for surprises among the inevitable clichéd trappings of The Last Samurai, an epic cinematic scenario about a battle-worn war hero who has lost his soul but finds redemption in an ancient Japanese society he once perceived as the enemy. Story A decorated soldier, Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) fought bravely during the Civil War, but in the years thereafter, pragmatism and self-interest embittered him. He now drinks heavily to drown ...
...proud Native Americans in the name of progress during the Indian Wars of the 1870s. As a mercenary for hire, Algren heads to Japan to train the newly formed Imperial Army and usher it into the burgeoning age of modern Western culture--a shift that will put Japan's ancient customs and values in jeopardy, including the tradition of the fierce and highly respected samurai warriors who once protected Japan with their fabled swords and still live by a ...
