Die Hard DVD > Reviews

Advantages: The best in its genre
Disadvantages: Takes a while to get going

It really is difficult for any fan of action films to avoid "Die Hard", partly because of Bruce Willis' unexpected career change and partly because this is the "siege" film par excellence, the original which has spawned so many imitations (including its sequels). Both Willis and bad guy Alan Rickman give superb performances, and although the bullets bounce off Willis he does succeed in lending a certain amount of vulnerability to his character. As ...

Advantages: Great fun, good action, original
Disadvantages:

The first in the trilogy, and almost certainly the best, if only because it helped redefine the genre and introduced the idea of using quality actors (the superb, intelligently menacing, authoritative Alan Rickman) in action movies. Has a couple of memorable lines and action sequences, and plenty of thrills and spills and dark humour along the way ("Do I sound like I'm ordering a pizza?!!"). Well worth watching, great fun. Notably superior to the ... Read review

This is just such a great movie. Bruce Willis finds himself caught up in a seige on a building at Christmas time where his wife works and battles to save both himself and all the hostages from the bad guys. There are some great scenes in this high action packed movie. Bruce Willis stars as Joh Mclane who becomes a one man team against a whole gang of German terrorists lead by the Hans Gruber played by the superb Alan Rickman. I reckon this has to ... Read review

Advantages: Good All Round Action

Advantages: All-time Clasic
Disadvantages: None

Bruce Willis stars in this classic action thriller. John McClane gets caught up in the middle of an LA building hostage situation, and so has to....save the day! This is an all-time classic movie that is a great film to watch even now. The action then is tense and exciting and keeps you entralled throughout the length of the film. Bruce Willis plays the hero very well, and you do get the impression that he is in the situation for real. Alan Rickman ... Read review

Advantages: Great special effects and brilliant characters
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

Great film about a group of people that take over a building because they want the money in their safe. The only problem is they did not count on Bruce Willis, who is there for a Christmas Party. He is brilliant and puts a spanner in the work on all occasions. He plays a brilliant role and you can't help but love him in this role. He ends up beating them and everybody has a Merry Christmas, apart from the baddies as they end up dead. Great ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic action, suspense and dialogue
Disadvantages: The hero soes seem a little indestructible sometimes

This is the film that action films are measured against. It is the story of Jon Mclane, a cop with a mistaken initiation to a company Christmas party at his ex-wife’s office. As the party is in full swing it is gate-crashed by a group of 12 terrorists looking to rob the vaults and taking the revellers hostage. McLane makes his escape and that’s where the fun starts, as the terrorists try to hunt him down, and he battles to stay alive and free the ... Read review

ok I think everyone on the planet has seen this film but I'd watch it again. Bruce Willis stars in the action packed movie. Bruce is the big hero guy who just happens to be at his wife's workplace as terrorists take over and start killing as they try to steal from the vault. This film is a delight. It has a good plot, and good acting. It is well written with some great one liners and action tactics that make you really excited. but if you love the ... Read review
