Die Hard series

I've seen all of em, really good stuff.

However, my one beef is the gunshot effects in #3, dunno what happened there.

What did you think of each individual film and what would you rate them each?

Die Hard was the best. It had most character development, it was more personal than the others and Alan Rickman is such a terific villain. Also Bruse Willis's performance is surprisingly good from an action hero. The script is well done, I like how there are so many supporting characters and the setting was so good. I prefer Die Hard to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also the idea with the conversation between John McClane and the Police Sergeant Powell with radio's while one of them is in a building fighting was very good. The setting was terific, how they kept it all in one night in one building. The script was so good as well.

"Terrorists have taken over Nakatomi plaza and are holding 30 to 40 people hostage, they have already killed one hostage, we need help!"John McClane
"I'm sorry this an emergency channel frequency." Police officer
"NO F***ING S**T LADY DO I SOUND LIKE I'M ORDERING PIZZA!!!" John Mcclane.

As I always tell people, Die Hard I is my all time favorite Christmas movie   

The first is the definition of awesome - 10/10

The second is really overshadowed by the other three, but is a good movie, 7.8/10

The third in my opinion had just as good a story, just as good a performance from Willis, and larger scale, a more epic enemy, and throw on top an excellent performance from Samuel L who meshed perfectly with Bruce.  The ONLY reason I don't think it's better then the first is that I thought the ending seemed completely lacking.  Die Hard I was seamless from begining to end.  Die Hard III was perfect from begining UNTIL the end - 9.7

I have a hard time comparing Die Hard IV with the other three.  It just seems like a completely different type of story to me then the others.  Willis is usually a completely different type of actor now then he was during the 90's *COUGHwhen he had hairCOUGH*, but I think he did a pretty good job of finding his old John McClain character again.  And my above comment isn't a dig on the fact that they decided not to give Willis the 'John McClain hair' implants; just as Willis decided to do with himself, shaved is a perfectly normal character developement.  It always bugs me about many sequels that take place years later that they try to make the character look EXACTLY the same as they did years before - give your character a life for God's sake... 

Anyway, it was a very good movie.  There were parts that I found unbelieveable, but the acting all-round was solid, and the storyline was really good.  And of course extra-credit points for having Boba Fett make an appearance       - 8.5/10

Yippy Ki Yay 

HAHA! That struck me funny

OO YEA! I forgot about that entire scene! Amen to that RD!
