Just a fun flick

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2012)

Die Hard with a Vengeance is truly a 90's action movie, maybe it's just me, but this movie probably wouldn't have turned out the way it did if it were made in any other decade. It's so overblown, yet still really funny and entertaining.
Basically the only real problem this movie, at least to me, is that it completely throws reality out the window. The first two, yeah they obviously could not have happened in real life, but they defienently tried for realism. This movie just says f**k it and goes so over the top. And yeah it's entertaining, but it does make it feel a little less like a sequel and more like just another 90's action movie. Plus some of the effects are bad. It doesn't have much CGI, but when McClane and Zeus are jumping off the boat it looked terrible. I have some small nitpicks, but that's about it.
Really Die Hard 3 is just one of those, leave your brain at the door movies. Don't even try to solve these puzzles because they are way too difficult. Bruce Willis is still great as John McClane, and him and Samuel L. Jackson work really well together. The villain is fun, and love how it ties in with the first movie. The action scenes are great, and very well shot. There is no better way to explain this movie other than just fun. Sure the first two are a little better, but this film is just so cheesy that it makes up for any faults it has.
