Die Hard Reviews
'...a perfect summer blockbuster...John McTiernan's classic thriller Die Hard is still one of the great films about American spirit and exceptionalism...it's not just for for Christmas...'
It's stupid yet engrossingly directed for jolts by John McTiernan.
One of the best Christmas movies ever made. Yes Christmas movies...
Nothing lasts forever... except for this cinematic party that keeps welcoming us to one of the best action and christmas movies ever.
[Full Review in Spanish]
One of the most divisive holiday classics, the argument on whether John McTiernan's Die Hard is a Christmas movie, finds its way to the forefront every year. For myself, the truth is indisputable. Die Hard is a Christmas film - no, a Christmas classic.
To say Die Hard still holds up is an understatement: charismatic protagonist and antagonist, great action set pieces, well paced and a top class finale. It’s no wonder so many other films and TV series continue to “do a Die Hard”, it’s still hard to top.
Top to bottom, it is just endlessly entertaining and well-crafted with outstanding work from all involved. No matter how much action movies have continued to grow, this will always be the cinematic elder statesman that can scrap with the best of them.
That’s right, I’m saying it, loudly and proudly, since John McTiernan’s 1988 action classic isn’t just set at Christmastime—it embodies the very spirit of the holiday.
The gold standard for action filmmaking; what action movie tropes Die Hard doesn't follow, it reinvents or altogether originates, and all of them have yet to be bettered.
Give Die Hard a fresh spin this year; it's the most joyous Christmas film of all!
I really appreciated the interpersonal relationship between him and his wife. It wasn't slow but it was taking its time.
[It] may be the best action movie EVER.
It's another anti-cheer holiday selection, but one that keeps on giving - rewatchable sans saturation...
Sometimes-more often than not, even- a script with many hands on it becomes a case of too many cooks. With Die Hard, competing experienced creatives produced a film that works on multiple levels.
Still the prototype of the modern action yarn -- its status was secured so rapidly that subsequent action romps were invariably described as "Die Hard on a train / plane / bus / zeppelin / tricycle / what-have-you."
Die Hard is not only an excellent action film, it is an excellent film overall and its ability to stand the test of time and still hold up is admirable.
A spectacularly thrilling film, possessing enough brains to match its brawn.
The picture is extremely violent: bombs go off, bullets rip through flesh, heads are slammed against steel. But Die Hard is also smart, satirical-and, in an odd way, heartwarming.
The director's spectacular ability to compose the plans and take advantage of the full range of the panoramic format possibilities. [Full Review in Spanish]
It's a glorious scene-stealer for Alan Rickman, though it's a credit to Willis's cheeky charisma that his scene is not in fact stolen.
