This film did everything but for anything did anything.

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2004)

In my opinion this is the greatest action film ever. Most action films follow this movie in doing amazing pyrotechnics on 34 story high rises. To be fair it wasn't the first action movie around. Before this was Lethal Weapon, Predator, Robocop, The Terminator and Alien. Yet none of these had amazing explosions like in Die Hard. Them movies just had gunfights at twenty yards and car chases. Die Hard builds up the tension amazingly well and the movie is constantly keeping you up to date with John McClane and the terrorists. The brilliant explosions like the one down the elevator shaft, like the rooftop one. The brilliant shootout between John McClane and Karl and Hans. The brilliant stunt (no computer) where John McClane jumps off the roof. Or the clever ending. This is my favorite film ever and I have got the Two Disc Special Edition DVD. I have also got Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance on Two Disc DVDs. They are all worth it.
