Movie Review: Great collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this set for my hubby for a Valentine's Day gift.He enjoyed it then and still does today! Great for a Bruce Willis fan and anyone looking for action movies!
Movie Review: The start of all things action
Summary: 5 Stars
The ultimate collection is all you need in the action genre for you dvd collection. This has all three of the excellent installments of Die Hard plus it is loaded with extra features. If you like massive blood shed, big and loud explosions and guns, you will definitely like this movie. What makes these movies the best there is, is the fact that an Bruce Willis can actually act. He does a great job and it wouldn't have been the same if Sly Stallone or Arnold Swarzennegar (sp?) starred. A moust have for eveyone!Movie Review: What every action fan needs....
Summary: 4 Stars
The first Die Hard movie can best be described as the mother of all action movies, spawining many clones from "Die Hard on a Boat" (Under Siege) to "Die Hard on a Bus" (Speed). Not since the Terminator has a series been so consistently good.Though the three movies have different settings, the elements are basically the same. Bruce Willis plays John McLane, a NYC cop who always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the first movie, terrorists took over a highrise building, along with hundreds of hostages. In the second movie, "Die Harder", mercinaries take over an airport and threaten to crash planes, and in the third, "Die Hard with a Vengance", a bomber is terrorizing NYC (not a good movie for people still recovering from September 11). McLane, not totally on his will, gets involved as the "one man against all odds", and he must single-handedly take the bad guys. He is not your prototypical action hero, in that he is perfectly human, and doesn't excatly want to be doing what he is doing. The role of John McLane fits Bruce Willis like a glove, and he is perfect in every respect.
This DVD set is what "Die Hard" fans should have. Not only does it have perfect transfers of all three films, in Widescreen no less, but loads of extras. The first "Die Hard" DVD is a bit disappointing. There are no documentaries or featurettes, but there are some nice bloopers, gag reels, outtakes, and extended scenes. The commentary on the first disc is also not very good, with especially boring and slow-moving commentary from Production Designer Jackson DeGovia. Overall, the extras alone are nice to have, but I wanted more, especially from the best entry in the series.
"Die Hard 2: Die Harder" is more like what the first one should have been. There are three very entertaining featurettes, some nice interviews, 4 deleted scenes, and insightful commentary from director Renny Harlin. This is a much better package, and although many fans consider this to be the worst in the series, I quite liked this one.
"Die Hard With A Vengence" is a fine third installment, with Willis teaming up with Samuel L. Jackson to fight mad bomber Jeremy Irons. This is also a fine DVD package, with some very entertaining featurettes (one hosted by Reginald VelJohnson, the Twinkie-loving cop from the first movie) and great interviews. The commentary from this one is good as well, though I have yet to sit through the whole thing.
While fans of the series probably own these movies in many other formats, this is the most complete and definitave collection on the market. The extras are plentiful, but most importantly, this is the best quality prints of these movies currently available. The the first movie package could have been much better, the overall set was worth every penny spent.
Movie Review: Yippie Kai Yeah Mudda Fugga !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Classic Bruce. The title of this collection says it all. It is the "ULTIMATE COLLECTION", and a must have for any action/suspense fan. Tonnes of extras on this 6-disk collection. Worth every penny.
Movie Review: Great Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a review of Die Hard 1, 2 and 3. My favorite would be DH2, but DH1 really set the mold and probably should win the award for best creativity. I prefer the winter airport and snowmobile scenes of DH2 to the city skyscraper scenes of DH1 ? it probably has a significant amount to do with where you grew up. Probably the same for the underground scenes of DH3, although I think DH3 was less well done from many perspectives (plot, acting, cinematography, sound). Through all of them, though, one cannot help but cheer on the good guy and be thrilled when he pulls another one off. Get all three and watch them some relaxing night.
