how is this a classic?

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2003)

Okay, let me start by saying a couple things: I am not a huge fan of violent/action/cop thrillers, and as this seems to be the 'classic' for a fan of that particular genre, I may not be the best person to listen to...however...
The realism of this film is waaay off. Brucie does not stand a chance against the brains of Hans Gruber (and, may I mention, his swarm of Russian terrorists armed with machine guns) The guy must have been really lucky, since he is at close quarters with the terrorists in many scenes and still survives (I mean point-blank here).
Did anyone notice how the color of his shirt changed in the middle of the movie? I mean, white to olive green? How did that happen (sure hes climbing around in air ducts and all, but still...I mean solid here...not just 'dirty')
There is one scene worth watching...(for those of you who've seen it) Hans Grubers 'american accent'episode...but why would the cop have given him an unloaded gun?
anyway, I wouldn't recommend this unless you really like Bruce Willis, cop movies, or Alan Rickman...and even then I'm not sure its worth watching...;)
