Another Top Notch Action Flick
Added 9/14/2009
The third installment in the 'Die Hard' series continues the tradition of non-stop action.
In this one, Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back working for the NYPD after some time in Los Angeles. A madman villain, Simon (Jeremy Irons) insists that McClane play a game of Simon Says with him. A failure on any of the tasks will result in Simon blowing up something. On his first test, McClane is saved from a gang of hoodlums by a shopkeeper, Samuel L. Jackson, who aids him throughout the rest of the tests.
As with its predecessors, 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is intense throughout. It contains lots of farfetched scenes, but there is certainly no boredom in watching this. It is a great one for fans of action shows.

Delivers the goods. Excellent villain.
Added 5/28/2009
Delivers fine action sequences and plenty of humor. The main plot driving force is the enigmatic villain played by Jeremy Irons, who does a fantastic job as he dishes out riddle after riddle for the soon exasperated John McClain. Samuel Jackson does a good job as the innocent passerby who gets caught up in the act and has to help McClain along the way.
If you want a smooth action flick that is fairly intelligent and funny, then you can't go wrong with Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Vengeance Has Never Been So Fun!!!
Added 4/9/2009
This is an awesome sequel with lots of action! John McClane is back doing what he doesa best on yet another very bad day. After a bomb goes off in the Bonwit Teller department store in New York City, Simon calls the NYPD and asks for John to play a game. During one of the games, a Harlem shopkeeper named Zeus Carver helps John. Throughout the day, John and Zeus go on a wild-goose chase to stop bombs going off, but it's all part of a much bigger plan. Simon happens to be Hans Grubber's brother from the original Die Hard. I highly recommend DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE!!!

The best of the quadrilogy
Added 3/30/2009
Man, I was watching this movie the other day and I can't believe how good this movie is. Even though I liked Die Harder, it lacked the brains of its predecessor. John McTiernan returned to give us an action flick that not only delivers as an action flick but is also quite effective as a thriller.
Simon Peter Gruber(Jeremy Irons) is the brother of Hans Gruber who was killed by McClane in the Nakatomi Plaza. He detonates a few bombs in New York City and sends McClane on "Fools Errands" while covering up his real scheme: to steal gold reserves. McClane is saved from an a**kicking by angry mob by Zeus Carver(Samuel L Jackson), a shop owner. They reluctantly team up to play along with Simon's games. They later find out his big scheme all along.
Samuel Jackson and Bruce Willis have excellent chemistry together. Plus you have to admire the match up. Zeus Carver has a nationalistic mentality and John McClane is your not-so-average white-bread cop. Despite their differences they still get together to handle the same goal.
Jeremy Irons is magnificent as Simon Peter Gruber. He's definitely one of the best movie villains in history. His plan showed a clever genius absent from movie villains nowadays. Quite possibly the last serious role that Jeremy Irons had. Tell the truth, can you look at him with a straight face after he starred in Dungeons and Dragons? I think not.
I like the pacing of this movie too. It keeps you glued to the screen and provides a thrill ride from start to finish. Im kind of surprised that this movie didn't do so well at the box office when everybody knows that its better than Die Hard 2. Plus this movie has lowest score of all Die Hard movies on Rottentomatoes. Shows you just how much these snooty consensus followers really know.
If you're looking for an action/thriller that doesnt disappoint you cant go wrong with Die Hard With A Vengeance. It has great acting, a superb villain, a good plot and some engaging action sequences. More effective than what passes for Thriller these days and is easily the most underrated action sequel of all time.
