The greatest best action 90's film of all time a masterpice the third sequel my personal number 1 favorite action flick!
2 January 2020
One of my personal favorite 90's action films of all time! Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) is a masterpiece a true third sequel to Die Hard (1988). Bruce Willis and John McTiernan reuinited. John McTiernan directed this masterpiece perfect. John McTiernan and Jonathan Hensleigh ignored Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) and focus on a different story not by novel and a true sequel to the original "Die Hard" film. I love this film to death! It is my film, it is my favorite action film. It is my number 1 favorite action film of all time.

Just like first Die Hard I love this movie to Death! I have DVD, Blu-ray disc and VHS about this movie. My aunt taped me the VHS 10 years ago and I am greatful to have this movie in widescreen and I have the DVD. I have the film on Blu-ray disc. Been fan of both of the films for almost 15 years and I still love them both to death. I love the music, the action, the story, John McClane, the qoutes, I love everything about this movie.

I deply enjoy both of the films the original and this one. Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) is the third film in the popular Die Hard franchise, which re teamed Bruce Willis with John McTiernan, the director of the first film. It is my number 1 favorite Die Hard film in the franchise with the original they are both equal to me. It feel's fast paced, more realistic and more action movie to me. This is a Die hard film and it is in my top 15 favorite action films of all time! Simon Gruber and his sex babe Katya are great couple on screen who are messing with McClane, I love that. Why can't we get villians like that nowdays? John McTiernan directed masterpiecful both of the movies. John McTiernan is really missed nowdays he directed really great flicks. (Predator, The Hunt for Red October, The 13th Warrior and The Thomas Crown Affair yes I liked that film, because of Rene Russo at the time she was my crush and she was one hot sexy babe.)

With a more worthwhile script, the addition of Samuel L. Jackson as a good samaritan with attitude, and all of New York City is blowing up as McClane and Carver are playing ground for a game of "Simon Says", we have a more efficient ass-kicking Die Hard from the director of the original classic. Tons of action, our heroes trough inter first half of the film are solving a puzzle of a riddle to find a code for the deactiviting a bomb that is actually somewhere hidden in a school. McClane and Carver must solve the riddle on specific time or the school blows up. Police officers and firemans are searching for the bomb in the city, around thousand buildings in New York City. While Simon who is actually a former National People's Army colonel turned terrorist a mastermind is ploting a heist, revenge is only a decoy. Vengeance also links Die Hard 1 with the Simon character as Hans Grubers brother which adds to the irritation of McClaines duty. At first it seens that Simon has a score to settle with Detective McClane, but it was actually a heist a $140 billion dollars worth of gold bullion from the Federal Reserve Bank.

I love this film to death, the music score from Michael Kamen is great again. This is the third movie in the "Die Hard" franchise the budget for this movie was $90 million which cost more expensive than the first two movies did. The movie has tons of action scens that I love: That raising taxi ride through Central Park was a bad-ass. I love McClane and Carver running trought the streets and you can see World Trade Center the Twin Towers that was before 9/11 attacks. This is the last action film I saw that was filmed entirely in New York City. After 9/11 I think action films were forbidden filming in New York City I love the Twin Towers in this movie. I love McClane fires his Beretta 92FS during the car chase killing bad guys in a car pursuing him and Carver. I love how we found out that McClane, Targo and Carver were all double crossed by Simon and Katya. I love that McClane does not kill Targo in this movie. I love the finale in which McClane, armed only with a small revolver, shoots an overhead power line that falls onto the helicopter, crashing and kills the bad guys, it is practical well done effect. Love his one line "Yippie-Kai-Yay Mother*****." I love when McClane and Carver are climbing on a tanker by wire trough the car 1994 Chevrolet C/K-Series holding the line, and the car crashes over the bridge and they both fly I love that scene. I love the fight between Targo and McClane on a tanker. I love exploding train on a trail road, McClane jumps on a train and he looks for a bomb. McClane saves all those passengers on a train, he throws the bomb out of the train. I love the facts that they are saving kids from the school and the bomb was a fake and a decoy. The tanker scene where McClane and Carver are handcudffs togethe McClane saves both of them. You see exploding tanker excellent practical FX effect they are done for real.

For 1995 action film it is a masterpiece sequel to me. Bruce Willis best performance I have ever seen. Die Hard, Die Hard: With a Vengeance and The Last Boy Scout were the movies that I kept watching for Bruce Willis. Samuel L. Jackson was a good heart human being. He try to prevent a disater in Harlem and I love that he try to save a white men from a massacre I love that in this film. Jeremy Irons is a bad-ass as Simon Gruber (Hans older brother) I love Irons in this film. Sam Phillips is a babe as Katya terrorist mute but sexy deadly girlfriend of Simon. Larry Bryggman as NYPD Inspector Walter Cobb is great boss to McClane. Larry Bryggman did a really good job playing his character well. Colleen Camp as NYPD Detective Connie Kowalski looked like my mom in 1995. I was 11 years old this movie come out. Colleen Camp was great I love her so much I miss the actress. Nick Wyman as Mathias Targo is excellent he is great I love him. Kevin Chamberlin as Charles Weiss a bomb expert was great I love his character. I love the cast everyone does a great job in this movie.

I love the action the opening sequence you see the cars. I love the soundtracks Summer in the City by The Lovin' Spoonful and When Johnny Comes Marching Home by (loosely based on Johannes Brahms' "Symphony No.1, 1st Movement"). Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) is my number 1 personal favorite action film of all time I love everything about this movie. I love Die Hard (1988) and this movie and Live Free or Die Hard to death! Vengeance is better than Die Hard 2: Die Harder or A Good Day to Die Hard!! Those aren't Die Hard movies to me. I don't care what anyone says this is my opinion! I love Die Hard 3 to death I love it, It is Rated R and it is bloody and I miss movies nowdays like this. Why can't we get action movies like this nowdays? They don't blow buildings and anything nowdays anymore. Classic masterpiece for action fans! Belongs with Hard Boiled, Hard Target, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, cliffhanger, Predator 2 and Demolition Man one of the greatest 90's action films of all time! :P.
