They just keep getting better...

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 1999)

The idea that the McClane character is playing around in a whole city and not just confined to a small area fighting terrorists was what I really enjoyed. It was a great change of pace from the first two and still incorporated the elements of the ones before it. I liked this the best out of the three, with the second following. The second is extremely underrated and, I think, had much better action sequences and a better plot. I also liked how I felt as if I was in New York in the Summer. I really got a good feel of the atmosphere in NY (being from there originally) and could almost feel the Summer time heat at points. I guess it's a sense of nostalgia. Yes, there are some moments logic takes a back seat, but if I can let it slide, almost anyone could be able to. The only big problem I had was the ending. It just well... happened. All of the sudden everyone is in Canada and all is done. Left me empty, but I was OK with it because it was like the abrupt end to a good roller coaster ride. This thing starts right at the beginning with a bang and doesn't let up. Great adrenaline rush!
