Review of Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) by Johnny T — 29 Jan 2012

The chemistry between Willis and Jackson is great and lends a lot of comedy to the film, there's lot of racial humour between the two. Action-packed rollercoaster ride that doesn't stop until the credits roll. Despite a final, tacked-on helicopter denouement, it remains a gripping, relentless, supercharged slab of fun that knows no bounds - New York is its playground and the sky's the limit. Cutting to the chase: In terms of summer movie thrills, director John McTiernan's return to the "Die Hard" genre (he made the first one) is a triumph. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is more destructive, more exhilarating and far more intense than the previous instalment. It's a tense, terrifically funny action dazzler with a wow level in special effects that will be hard to top. Die Hard With a Vengeance is basically a wind-up action toy, cleverly made, and delivered with high energy. It delivers just what it advertises, with a vengeance.

VERDICT: "High-Quality Stuff" - [Positive Reaction] This is a rating to a movie I view as very entertaining and well made, and definitely worth paying the full price at a theatre to see or own on DVD. It is not perfect, but it is definitely excellent. (Films that are rated 3.5 or 4 stars).
