Favorite movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2015)

Not only was this the first Die hard movie I saw, it's also my favorite one. When watching this movie I can only think back to the days when action movies were really action movies. Blood, smoking cigarettes, epic one liners and a good dose of swearing and comedy, albeit dark sometimes.
The story is well written, but it keeps a certain action movie-ish feeling, it's good, but it's mainly fun to watch. The characters are lovable in some way, especially John and Zeus (of course). The only bad thing I could say, is that some of the antagonists are a bit confusing, the have a connection and a goal, but the goal isn't very clear. Eventually, after seeing the movie several times, you start noticing small things that let you understand it better, but I feel that towards the end, some scenes could have been added to explain their goals further.
All in all, an epic adventure for John Mclane and a trip into 90's action movies, when the genre was still good.
