Thirty years later, it's easy to forget that Bruce Willis wasn't an action star in 1988, he had only a couple credits to his name, this was the one that put him on the top, and for good reason too. In the ensuing years, compounded with several sequels "Die Hard" has risen to the great pantheon of action movies. It's aged well too, it's just as good today as it was in '88, which is a hard thing to do.

Willis and Rickman are the perfect hero-villain matchup in the perfect action movie. Every single plot execution - apart from how the Feds are so brazenly stupid, but that's part of the charm - and every character, even the one-offs ("Hans... Bubi!") works seamlessly. The fact that the dead terrorist's shoes don't fit him speaks volumes to McClane's enduring appeal as the hero that bleeds. Also one of the very few 80's movies that is simultaneously of its time and timeless.

The greatest action (and Christmas) movie of all time. The suspense crackles from one end to another, the fights are brutal, the screenplay hilarious, the blood flies, John McClane cuts his feet and crawls and bleeds all over, Hans Gruber is the 2nd greatest villain in cinema (after Darth Vader), and the whole thing fucking rocks. I watch it every Christmas, and will continue to do so until John McClane drops me out of a skyscraper window.

"Hostage Terrorist, Terrorist Hostage: A Study in Duality." Die Hard cemented John McTiernan as one of the great action directors of the late 80'/early 90's. It's never outright corny, the villain doesn't twirl his mustache, and the hero always seems vulnerable and on the ropes. The holiday theme isn't entirely a joke either, in the end McClane is just trying to reconnect with his family while Gruber is ultimately focused on opening his presents.

Arguably the greatest action movie of all time. Inarguably the Greatest villain of all time: Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. Why? Due to lack of space & in honor of Gruber's "I am going to count to 3, there will not be a 4." here's just 3 reasons: 1. He never does anything stupid 2. He's smart (this is different & far more significant & rare in movie villains than just not doing anything stupid) 3. he follows through on his threats. (Seriously, he wasn't kidding about there not being a 4.)

Very entertaining, well crafted, and defined clichés for a generation of action flicks. But much about it is annoying. All the "working class hero" stuff for one thing. The everyman cops have godlike intuitive abilities, but the clueless higher-ups are incompetent to an absurd degree. And the climax-after-the-climax is ridiculous, only to provide a rather weak character moment for someone we didn't care much about in the first place. It's a fantastically fun ride, but with some problems

A great, but not flawless, action movie. The terrible ineptness of the "higher-ups" and amazing intelligence of the "working-joes" can be flat out frustrating in it's obvious attempt to force additional conflict into the movie. Thankfully the rest of the film is so good that it more than makes up for me. Bruce Willis is incredible as John McClane and the character actually has some depth. He's cool and bad ass, humorous but still fallible enough to be believable. Must see for action flick fans.

Within its own fictional reality and universe, Die Hard rarely goes overboard with the ridiculous action sequences. The only really bad set piece in terms of ridiculousness is the "firehose incident", and even that was more just funny than anything. Most of the best action movies are so good because of how they manage to keep their feet on the ground, and not just because of the over-the-top action. Die Hard is a prime example of that.

A lot of fun. The goodies are good, the baddies are bad, and everyone else is on a broad spectrum of likeability and competence. There might be a few things to dislike about this (see other reviews for valid criticisms), but it fulfils its primary purposes most effectively. Willis and Rickman are worth the entry fee alone. Entertaining.

A film like a well-worked pro wrestling match or thrilling boxing fight. The protagonist is forever on the ropes, the villain is strong, focussed and capable. That real sense of precariousness gives the contrasting euphoria of the accumulating Face comebacks all the more potency.

Die Hard effectively established the modern action film single-handedly and quickly became the measure for all subsequent action movies. Although some elements may seem a little rough and ready this has in fact added considerably to the charm, coupled with the establishment of some iconic catchphrases and the introduction of the explosive and improbable action sequences that came to define the subsequent film series. It does have flaws, but it's so damn enjoyable that it doesn't even matter.

At one point in my life, movies were just another form of entertainment. I enjoyed them greatly, to be sure, but I never offered them much thought beyond the casual viewings I gave them; they just existed in the moment. Die Hard changed all that, odd as it may seem. It's not the most prestigious movie in the world, but it's the best action movie ever made, really entertaining, and upon that first viewing at age 13, left me in awe: Die Hard made me realize the power of movies.

Hands down, Hans Gruber is the best movie villian ever--who's actually as smart or smarter than the hero. You can keep your Hanibal Lecters and Darth Vaders...its' Gruber (or possibly Ledger's Joker). I'm tempted to knock a few points off because it did its job a little TOO well, and thus, spawned a lot of dopey imitators down the road. But I can't fault the filmmakers here for getting everything so spot on from the pacing to the casting, etc. Side note: this is my favorite Christmas movie ever.

Gosh, Evil Europeans threaten Mamma America! Thank God there is this funny, brave and righteous New York cop played by a shirtless Bruce Willis to blow up everyone and save the day! If you simply ignore the above plot description, you may wanna half-heartedly admit that "Die Hard" is sort of effective -overblown, suspenseful, preposterous and, yes, wickedly effective. Too bad that I was rooting for the bad guys the whole time, comparing Rickman's smoothness to Bruce's cringeworthy one-liners.

(after repeat viewings) The 1st hour is flawlessly executed, yet the film loses some of its momentum once the laughable police forces enter the frame (FBI, deputy chief Robinson). Willis is great though and Rickman is deliciously vicious in his 1st film role. Great, if sadly flawed. Also: "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..." lol

Alan Rickman is such a quintessential villain. He makes the role. Any fool can play a bad guy, but Rickman brings it to a whole new level. Here, he's your intellectual jack-of-all-trades badass. In Robin Hood, he was a sadistic mofo. His role in Harry Potter makes the movies palatable for those who aren't fans. I'll see a movie if I know Rickman's the antagonist.

One of the best action movies and best Christmas movies of all time. McClane isn't some badass super cop or generic action hero, he's simply a guy caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, and thus is much easier to relate to than most action movie protagonists. Gruber is a highly entertaining and memorable villain, not much more I can say. And yes there is plenty of action but it never grows stale, and neither does the humor which is also plentiful. Yippee ki-yay motherfucker.

In so many ways, the paradigmatic action movie. What really stands out watching it now is Alan Rickman's acting as Hans Gruber. Just a perfect level of camp charm to his often-imitated performance, head and shoulders above everyone else in this one. I also really enjoyed Kamen's soundtrack and the use of Beethoven's 9th as a motif throughout the film. The one thing that hasn't aged so well is the moronic police chief and the lackwit FBI agents. The writing for their characters feels forced.

By now it's a cliche to call this the greatest action movie ever, but it's absolutely true. What it lacks in depth it makes up for with spectacular action scenes and a dry, memorable sense of humor. Its influence is incalculable but none of its many imitators have ever surpassed it. Some of the supporting police officers are a little too annoying but all is forgiven once Bruce Willis or Alan Rickman comes back on screen. "You should've heard your brother squeal when I broke his fucking neck."

Simplicity can be a fantastic ally in the right circumstances. Die Hard is simple... and all the better for it. By not going over the top, the threat is treated with the appropriate degree of seriousness and helps us identify with McClain's attempts to save the day as a normal guy, not an action hero. The script is also so refined that the quiet character moments between Willis and Rickman are good enough to be their own movie.

Well crafted action film whose impact has somewhat waned from its countless imitators and the decline of the franchise in the ensuing years. This is the original ordinary-man-takes-on-a-group-of-terrorists-in-a-confined-setting actioner, directed with lean efficiency by McTiernan, who is perfectly comfortable securing the narrative blocks firmly in place before unleashing bloody mayhem. He makes skillful use of the Nakatomi setting, and Willis is at his charming, unselfconscious best.

The most impactful action movie of all time. Die Hard really is quintessential watching for what makes an action movie entertaining. Bruce Willis is perfect as the every-man caught in an extreme situation, Alan Rickman pulls off the perfect calculating villain and when the film is stuffed with great characters and zingy one-liners, you just can't help but be hypnotized for all of the two hour duration. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing Dwayne being butt-fucked on national television.

The first and the best simply because he's really more of a regular guy and damn it it's just sooo much fun to watch.

I love this film so much. I love the jokes in it, I love the little hints of Christmas songs in the dramatic score, I love the way over the top moment when Al shoots someone. Everything about it is wonderful. This is a terrible review but I don't care. My favourite action film of all time

One of the better action films out there. Alan Rickman is great as the villain. Bruce Wills is also very good in one of his best roles. The action scenes are great and the movie is extremely exciting.

Proof that action movies can be great and original and not just cliche garbage. Its more than just gun fights and CGI, its about love, friendship, and taunting terrorists who want to kill you.

Arguably the greatest action movie ever made, Die Hard runs taut from start to finish with an unwavering tension and ferocity and launched Bruce Willis into an international action superstar.

Well the explosions were fun and there was a lot of action. That helped try to balance out the lacking of a story line here. Willis had a solid performance, that will stick with me for awhile. I never knew that Family Matters was a spin off of Die Hard. It is too bad Bruce Willis never made a cameo on the show with Urkel. I wonder if I watched this movie when it came out if I would have given it a higer score. For me it showed its age in some spots. Still though happy to finally see it.

Pretty good standard for an action flick, but a fair bit behind Hard Boiled which I consider to be the bench mark for this style. The second half was the highlight in the way that it seethed with power like a symphony of destruction. It did fall flat in some parts, though, the sequencing was an issue. It's mostly overlookable though.

The crème de la crème of action movies. Outrageous, but not tawdry; funny, but not cheesy.

Action-packed and well-executed, this film has excellent performances from both Willis and Rickman, enacting a script that is written almost to perfection. It is held back only by the weakness of some secondary characters, especially the incompetent police chief cliches.

One of the best movies of the genre. It is better than others because of showing the possibility that the lead actor can also die along with the whole ex-wife angle. The funny dialogues were indeed entertaining.

One of the greatest action movies ever made. The plot, characters, and action are nearly flawless. Bruce Willis plays one of the greatest action movie heroes ever, and Alan Rickman plays one of the screen's best bad guys. The banter between Willis and VelJohnson could have used a bit of work, but that flaw is easily forgotten given everything that the movie does right.
