cinemajesty Movie Review: "Die Hard With A Vengeance"It can be said that John McClane's New York action adventure has hardly become a near-perfect Hollywood movie, but the tricky scenes created by screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh puts actor trio surrounding Bruce Willis, taking the screen better pill to cope, comes to terms with Zeus actor Samuel L. Jackson in endless as rushing shots directed by initial "Die Hard" (1988) director John McTiernan to fight an invisible phone call menacing Jeremy Irons to graphic violence drawbacks proportions in NY's heat box of trails from street running over car-truck crashing to bridge jumping stunt work.Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC 2018
bombersflyup Die Hard with a Vengeance is the ultimate action flick, with two of best actors going around.Along with our two leads are some great villains, headed by Jeremy Irons. Bruce Willis is obviously the star of the film and this in my opinion is his best work. Samuel L. Jackson really showcases that he can play any role and do it extremely well, which is why he has been involved in so many great films. Straight up action films aren't my go, as they are often pretty empty, lacking heart and any deeper thought other than what is being shown. Though, this film is the absolute pinnacle of the genre and does take the time to add some of those little character moments. I do not care about the first two films of the series and don't give them much thought. Love Die Hard with a Vengeance.John: This thing got airbags? Zeus: Your side does, I don't know about mi... Zeus: McClane! John: You don't know how to shoot a gun? Zeus: Look, all brothers don't know how to shoot guns, you racist motherf*****. John: Sue me.
Minahzur Rahman This was a fitting end to a trilogy until they wrongly decided to continue with the series, with further moviews, which basically ruined the Die Hard franchise. Die Hard with a Vengeance is a unique film just like its previous editions. Die Hard was based inside a tall building; Die Hard 2 was based inside an airport; and Die Hard 3 was based within an entire city (New York). The villain was great: his name is Simon Gruber who is the brother of Hans Gruber, so this film has ties to the first one, so it makes it more interesting to follow. In the previous Die Hard movies, Bruce on his own was hard enough, but in Die Hard with a Vengeance, despite having Samuel Jackson along with him on this journey, they were still no match for the villain (or were they?). Though Die Hard with a Vengeance was a good movie, I still don't think it's better than its predecessors. If Die Hard was a great Christmas movie, or a great movie for the winter season, then Die Hard with a Vengeance was a great action movie for the summer.
jwiley-86292 I wanted to like this more. I really did. The concept is brilliant, perfect to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. As someone who knows the place, I commend the gorgeous, immersive filming of New York--even though it's from more than twenty years ago, the film looks like how the city really feels. This sets the film apart from other Hollywood depictions of New York. Most of all, Jeremy Irons' character is a worthy successor to his brother, exuding. . . let's just say he's hot and leave it at that.Sadly, the elements I liked made the sagging elements all the harder to swallow. Most conspicuously, With a Vengeance sorely lacks the scintillating dialogue of the first movie, which was a huge part of why I love it. The first third had me totally attentive, but around the middle it derails and takes too long to wrap up. And yet, the end still feels very abrupt. I would not have killed Simon with such merciless speed. Hollywood, why are your bad guys so often more lovable than your good guys? I wished the film had taken the time to explain more about Simon's background. He was in the East German Stasi or something, and felt miffed when East Germany, therefore his job, ceased to exist. That's interesting! Tell us more! And why was Hans in the West in the 80s when there were still two Germanies? With a Vengeance could have explained that, too. For that matter, who is Katya and what is her relationship with Simon like?The first Die Hard was such a delight to me because it defied my preconception that action movies were just fighting and explosions with no catharsis or character drama. This one is tipped, albeit slightly, towards the latter category.
