The second sequel to the mold-making action film Die Hard brings Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) to New York City to face a better villain than in Die Hard 2. Played by Jeremy Irons, he's the brother of the Germanic terrorist-thief Alan Rickman played in the original film. But this bad guy has his sights set higher: on the Federal Reserve's cache of gold. As a distraction, he sets McClane running fool's errands all over New York--and eventually, McClane attracts an unintentional partner, a Harlem dry cleaner (Samuel L. Jackson) with a chip on his shoulder. Some great action sequences, though they can't obscure the rather large plot holes in the film's final 45 minutes. --Marshall Fine

 Best Die Hard Ever February 25, 2010
Phoenix Vega (Atlanta, GA)
This is my all time favorite Die Hard. There is so much action in this movie it's crazy. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson are at their finest. Most action movies get away from the action to add some type of love story. I don't know if this is just to get female viewership or what. I hate when movies do that. If you're looking for a tough guy movie with a lot of action and less romance, this is the movie for you. I truly believe this is probably the best Die Hard ever.
Die Hard with a Vengeance January 21, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
John McClane is now almost a full-blown alcoholic and is suspended from the NYPD. But when a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller Department Store the police go insane trying to figure out what's going on. Soon, a man named Simon calls and asks for McClane. Simon tells Inspector Walter Cobb that McClane is going to play a game called "Simon Says". He says that McClane is going to do the tasks he assigns him. If not, he'll blow off another bomb. With the help of a Harlem electrician, John McClane must race all over New York trying to figure out the frustrating puzzles that the crafty terrorist gives him. But when a bomb goes off in a subway station right by the Federal Reserve (the biggest gold storage in the world) things start to get heated up. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is so well constructed, so well acted and so well directed that I like it just as much, if not better, than Die Hard. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is a spectacle of a tightly told, thrilling action/adventure story.
Another Top Notch Action Flick September 14, 2009
S. Peek (Rocky Mountains, USA)
The third installment in the 'Die Hard' series continues the tradition of non-stop action.
In this one, Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back working for the NYPD after some time in Los Angeles. A madman villain, Simon (Jeremy Irons) insists that McClane play a game of Simon Says with him. A failure on any of the tasks will result in Simon blowing up something. On his first test, McClane is saved from a gang of hoodlums by a shopkeeper, Samuel L. Jackson, who aids him throughout the rest of the tests.
As with its predecessors, 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is intense throughout. It contains lots of farfetched scenes, but there is certainly no boredom in watching this. It is a great one for fans of action shows.
A 'Bruce Willis' must have..... July 9, 2009
Brice L. Korte (Summerdale, Al.)
I had the first two (2) Die Hard movies, the latest, and to complete the collection (a must).
 Delivers the goods. Excellent villain. May 28, 2009
Kalif Vaughn
Delivers fine action sequences and plenty of humor. The main plot driving force is the enigmatic villain played by Jeremy Irons, who does a fantastic job as he dishes out riddle after riddle for the soon exasperated John McClain. Samuel Jackson does a good job as the innocent passerby who gets caught up in the act and has to help McClain along the way.
If you want a smooth action flick that is fairly intelligent and funny, then you can't go wrong with Die Hard with a Vengeance.
