One of the best (or even the best) action films ever made. Hugely influential also.

[Jack Nevada]

Its fucking Die Hard, what am I supposed to say?

 

5/5

[DAR]

Best action movie ever.  Best Christmas movie ever.  A+

[Plain Old Tele]

Terrible movie. What a total ripoff of SPEED.

[CoolioD1]

Obviously amazing.

[BiffMan]

Nice one, Telemachos 

 

Rewatched this again over the weekend.  Continues to hold up remarkably well.  Remarkably tight movie.  Excellent character defining moments with minimal exposition.  My favorite McTiernan film after Hunt for Red October.

 

Really feels like McClane is making it up as he goes, is in over his head from the get-go, and shows fear and injury throughout.  Makes him an excellent audience surrogate in the same way Indiana Jones is in Raiders.

A+

 

The most influential movie in Hollywood since Star Wars.

By that I mean just as some movies, see Fifth Element(oh the irony), were marketed as the "best sci fi film since SW" so did Hollywood do with Die Hard. It was that impactful.

 

Action movies began being pitched and marketed as "Die Hard on a bus", "Die Hard on a boat", "Die Hard in a hockey arena" and so forth. 

 

I rewatch it at least once a year.

Best action movie of all time 5/5.

[Blankments]

Die Hard is one of the best constructed movies I've ever seen. Not a single scene is wasted, and all either builds the tension or adds to the action spectacle. John McClane and Hans Gruber are both incredibly memorable characters, and Willis and Rickman play them both to perfection. The excellent script helps them, packing the film with so many unforgettable moments. McTiernan directs with pitch perfect precision that keeps one on the edge of their seat for nearly the entire runtime. Die Hard is a fantastic Christmas palette cleanser, but more importantly, one of the greatest action movies I've ever watched. Fantastic. A

This is the greatest rated R action movie of all time.  And if you consider the Indy films "adventure" instead of action, then this one goes to the top of the heap.

7/10, B

Not a bad movie at all, I guess it's just not my genre so I don't rewatch it often.

This and Speed are the best traditional action movies ever.

[John Rambo]

Ok am i the only here who dint like this as much as others! 

Watched it recently liked it in bits n pieces 

Willis lacks the charisma of action star (Arnie and Sly)

2.5/5 timepass flick maybe.
