Above Average 3rd Entry

Rating: 7/10 (31 March 2020)

With the epic explosions & epic action sequences of Die Hard 2, you'd think that film would be hard to top. Unfortunately after watching, I have to say I was right. However, I did see it coming before watching. Saying that, the film DID entertain & was pretty action packed & good enough to satisfy.
John McClane and Harlem, an Electronics Store Owner are targeted by German terrorist Simon Gruber in New York City, who plans to rob the Federal Reserve Building. He gives orders to the duo to carry out several tasks, failing to do results in him detonating a bomb before saying the phrase "Simon Says!".
After watching the film I have to admit it was good, not quite as epic as 2 or hell, 1, but it WAS a good film with plenty of action sequences & humour added in to keep you entertained.
The ending however was anticlimactic & the score used at the epic ending of Die Hard 2 is heard. But sadly, it didn't work, at all. It came off as poor attempt to be like the ending of it's predecessor. The average action laced with the score used at the end of Die Hard 2 felt out of place & a bit sloppy.
But overall this isn't a bad film, it's decent enough & good in its own way. It's definitely worth a watch.
7/10
