Die Hard - An action movie like none other

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2014)

Proclaimed as one of the worlds best action movies, and self- proclaimed as a Christmas movie Die Hard burns right into your memory with great characters and great action.
Yesterday I re-watched this film with a couple of friends. I must say this is indeed a great action film. Not only is the story simple and in my eyes believable, but the dialog and the characters interact brilliantly.
The reason why this is one of the best action movies of all time must be the level of detail. Not much is left unanswered; He did in fact try to get some shoes, but they were too small, so he kept running around bare foot! The action is great and not always over the top, but when it has to like the two major explosions it is satisfying and makes your little child go laughing of excitement. The humor is blended well in, and never feels awkward or misplaced, it basically just adds as another layer on the cake of awesomeness.
The actors are great. Bruce is of course funny and believable as an everyday man who is not Arnold big, but not small either. Alan Rickman is a great actor, who works so well as a bad guy. The rest is in my eyes average, but no one sticks out as horrible or wrong cast.
This will forever be a classic for it genre and will always be a great Christmas movie with no snow or Santa, but with some bad ass explosions.
