"Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho"

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2001)

This is possibly the best action movie ever made. Not my favorite action movie, that would be Lethal Weapon, but Die Hard comes in a pretty close second or third. An original plot, and this movie introduced Bruce Willis to almost a decade of blockbuster action movies, including three Die Hards, but none compared to the original (much like the Lethal Weapon series).
The explosions, machine guns, and hand guns go on for a good solid two hours, and it was a well spent ride, because there was also a good story. The hero isn't a big huge, emotionless army guy who lives to blow s*** up, he has a wife and kids, and would very much like to spend Christmas with them.
The dad from Family Matters is in this as a comedic side-kick type person, and Alan Rickman is a the evil Hans Gruber, which he does a very good job at. So in closing, you take a fresh out of Jersey Willis, a Los Angelas plaza, a few dozen machine guns, and, oh yeah, C4, and you get an all time great action movie! 9/10
