Pros: action, writing, directing, performances, tensity, humor
Cons: none
Summary: John McClane: Welcome to the party, pal! Die Hard isn't just a movie, it's a spectacle. A spectacle of action. It's an event. It is the perfect definition of action movies in general and what every viewer should want to receive from that ... read more

Pros: Lots of tension, killer action scenes, awesome music, all a bloody great time.
Cons: Some scenes feel a little silly and contrived, but nothing detrimental.
Summary: Even though Christmas is over, the title still stands, this is the ultimate movie for Christmastime, but it can be watched year-round for full enjoyment. Aside from being the ultimate Christmas movie, this is one of the absolute best action ... read more

Pros: Good action, fun
Cons: Not completely believable, language and violence
Summary: When some friends found out I had never seen the Die Hard films, they decided it was time to change that oversight. While mindless action isn't always my thing, I found the first one entertaining.It's Christmas Eve, and John McClane ... read more

Pros: Bruce Willis/Alan Rickman, Great Action and acting, good plot and overall a great movie
Cons: There are no cons in Die Hard
Summary: Directed by John McTiernan, starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman, this is the first in the Die Hard series. It's hard to believe this was made in 1988, but it is still great and was probably the best action movie of the 80's.The ... read more

Pros: pace, action scenes, acting
Cons: occasionally too cartoonish
Summary: I can remember way back in 1988, a friend of mine telling me about this test screening he went to of the new Bruce Willis film. He described it as so awful, he didn't see how it would last beyond opening weekend. That movie was Die Hard and ... read more

Pros: Action Packed. Bruce.
Cons: 1 gory scene.
Summary: One night, I turned on the television and there it was on rotation, "Die Harder." I'd never seen it so it was to my advantage being the time of night it was and the fact that while doing certain things like crocheting, I need the television on to keep ... read more

Pros: Plenty of action, realistic, fun.
Cons: Character building, a little shallow.
Summary: This is one of the best action movies out there. You have good acting, plenty of fighting, and buildings exploding. What more could you want? In a time where computer generated graphics were in its infancy this film produced some terrific action ... read more

Pros: Story, Acting, Direction, Writing, Everything
Cons: Not enough Duane T. Robinson.
Summary: Let's get down to brass tacks here, people. Die Hard is the single greatest action film ever made. PERIOD. In a genre so tired out and filled with canned one-liners and horrid acting, Die Hard stands head and shoulders above it's competitors. Starting ... read more

Pros: Lots 'o action. Nifty stunts and effects. Fun.
Cons: A bit shallow. Willis low-rez acting style isn't for everyone. Violent.
Summary: I'm not sure now, (and I don't really feel like looking it up) but I believe "Die-Hard was Bruce Willis' "break-through" movie. That is, if not the very first movie he was ever in, at least the first one anybody ever noticed him in. I never noticed him ... read more

Pros: Great featurettes, digitally remastered picture quality, simply the best action flick ever made.
Cons: Slight difficulty navigating the interactive menus.
Summary: Die Hard is an action flick of extraordinary magnitude. It is often regarded as one of the greatest action flicks of all time. Why? Disregard the fact that it stars Bruce Willis, who later went on and took up the main role in two massively successful ... read more

Pros: Terrific screenplay, McTiernan's directing and fine performances by Willis, Bedelia, Rickman, et. al.
Cons: Violent content and lots of profanity make this a just-for-grownups flick.
Summary: John McTiernan's star has been fading lately, but it shone like a supernova with 1988's Die Hard, a taut and exciting action thriller that made Bruce Willis an international star and began a trend of explosion-laden action thrillers that followed ... read more

Pros: Action, humor and performances.
Cons: This is Die Hard, no cons at all!
Summary: As far as action movies go, Die Hard may be the ultimate one of all time. Not necessarily the best mind you. But I can't think of any other film that mixes action, comedy and serious drama into a full package the way this one does and has the results ... read more

Pros: An Excellent, High-Powered Action Masterpiece.
Cons: None.
Summary:
With the growing stale quality reveled in action films, it seems that action movies had lost a sense of humanity thanks in large part to the dull, machismo, muscle-bound characters that are being put into the movies. Add some expected explosions, ... read more

Pros: Lots of action, convincing bad guys, and realistic effects.
Cons: Action slows right down at times, the cops are plain dumb.
Summary: I totally love action movies. The more action the better. However, I do get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. That's what I love about Die Hard. It was one of the first action movies in a long run which didn't involve some one-man ... read more

Pros: Great special effects and a solid cast to boot
Cons: violence and wouldn't recommend to any who experienced a terrorist attack
Summary: Die Hard is about a cop who goes after terrorists in an LA office building where his wife works on Christmas. A movie that has been done before except this one is better. Bruce Willis is great as the New York City Detective, John McClane. He added ... read more
