Not as good as the first two.

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 1999)

Though the plot itself was good, the McClane character didn't seem to be the same as in the first two. In the first two films, the driving force behind the McClane character was his love for his wife. Granted, McClane was separated in the first film. Yet he truly loved her. In this film, he had been separated for a year and had a rather callous attitude... not his character. This ruined the entire film for me. I'm a big Samuel L. Jackson fan and he was great (as usual). The movie is very action packed and Jeremy Irons pulled off a wonderful villian (as usual). The movie is worth seeing, but I'm very disappointed how the McClane character was drawn in the film.
