Summary: If this is their idea of Christmas, I *gotta* be here for New Year's.
Comment: In case you've never seen this one--and it's really a classic, so unless you don't watch action movies at all, you really should see it--Bruce Willis is John McClane, a NYC cop in LA to spend Christmas with his kids and estranged wife. At her office Christmas party in a big office building, he's freshening up in the bathroom when terrorists, led by Alan Rickman's character, take over.
Since hardly anyone knows he's there, it's up to McClane to save the day. Tons of action, a good dose of humor, and even some realistic emotional stuff. This movie doesn't miss a beat.
Most action movies... heck, most movies period... skimp somewhere. They'll focus on the action scenes and neglect the plot, or the emotional stuff will be tacked on as an afterthought, or any one of a number of other complaints. This one doesn't do that. Everything's well balanced and logical and just sucks you right in.
From the walking-on-glass scene that I can never watch (ouch, ouch, ouch) to the good-hearted but not terribly gung-ho beat cop to the dozens of great quotes, there's too much I like about this movie to list it all.
I was impressed with the portrayal of Holly, John's wife (played by Bonnie Bedelia). I don't like her in the beginning, but later on, she shows her character, and you can see what John sees in her. This is highly unusual in action movies--mostly, the women are inexplicable.
And the terrorists. I loved the terrorists. That doesn't sound right. I loved that they were thieves, not ideologues. It was such a great twist, and so very believable. And Alan Rickman does evil so well.
And of course, it's got both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman from my short list. I'd probably enjoy this even if it wasn't such a good movie.

Summary: Great Classis that is only better on Blu-ray
Comment: I bought this Blu-ray when it went on sale. Best blind buy ever. I had never seen the movie before, so I took a long shot and ordered it anyways. Great action, great storyline, great picture quality, and great audio quality. I was so happy with my purchase, that now I want all the Die Hard's.
So go ahead take a chance, Die Hard on Blu-ray is a must see.

Summary: Great movie experience
Comment: Die Hard is written in history as one of the greatest action movies of all time and viewing it on Blu-ray just makes the experience even better. The picture has been cleaned up and looks sharp, much better than I've ever seen it. More impressive is the sound quality; Everything was very clear, from the dialogue to explosions to gunshots. The surround sound is a GREAT mix. I highly recomend this for any fans of quality action films.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Die Hard
Comment: The original and the best in my opinion! See Alan Rickman in his breakout role and in his prime! Also, Bruce Willis still had some hair left! Hard to believe this movie is 20 years old.

Bruce Willi stars as New York City Detective John McClane, newly arrived in Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia). But as Mclane waits for his wife's office party to break up, terrorist take control of the building. While the terrorist leader, Hans gruber (Alexander Godunov) round up hostages, McClane slips away unnoticed. Armed with only a service revolver and his cunning, McClane launches his own one-man war. A crackling thriller from beginning to end, Die Hard explodes with heart-stopping suspense.
