Die Hard with a Vengeance Ratings & Reviews
- alexnoaholdmateMarch 7, 2026The first two Die Hards were better, but this is perfectly serviceable - though some of the stunts are lough-out-loud unbelievable.
- VandytOctober 25, 2025One of the greatest action films of all time, and the best of the franchise. Perfect to anchor any at-home movie night
- JakeysDecember 30, 2025Picks up after the lackluster second, doesn't reach the height of the first but a very entertaining action flick for sure.
- ErikthepaceDecember 17, 2025The second best of all the Die Hard movies. Just behind the first. Samuel Jackson is excellent, as always. And Bruce Willis can't be beaten.
- ZokkiieDecember 23, 2025This is a pretty solid sequel. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson have great chemistry, and the action is fast-paced and intense. It’s a bit over-the-top at times, but it keeps things exciting throughout. Definitely not as tight as the original, but still a fun and solid
- Doc WormDecember 23, 2025The gritty 90s NYC backdrop, the guerilla style camera work that chases our protagonists around the city and the performances from the main leads all help drive through all of its bombastic beats. Die Hard with a vengeance proves John McTiernan does Die Hard best.
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 23, 2025Turning the third Die Hard into a buddy cop movie was brilliant. It may not be as good as the original, but it's close.
- LivewireAdminDecember 6, 2025I miss Bruce Willis action star. Also Jeremy Irons should have only played villains after this and The Lion King, he was born for it. I enjoyed the "constant task" aspect of the movie, Simon Gruber turning NY into one big playground with serious stakes. Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis have great chemistry.
- StreetterSeptember 20, 2025If this movie didn't have Samuel L. Jackson in it, I would have rated it higher.
- tellumAugust 17, 2025Sam Jackson steals the show and is really funny.
- mickerdooAugust 23, 2025Relentless action with constant misdirection. Can't complain for a third installment. Like the addition of Jackson. Pretty good villain.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Personal favorite. Love the riddles and brain teasers, the insanely elaborate heist, the double crosses, the tie-in to the original, Willis and Jackson’s constant back and forth about racism, the exotic explosives. Love pretty much everything about it. I was hyped when I’d heard that John McTiernan was getting ready to direct a sci-fi actioner with Uma Thurman and Laurence Fishburn, Tau Ceti Foxtrot, but sadly, last I heard was that it’s stuck in development hell. Still crossing my fingers.
- ርልዪረJanuary 30, 2025̸/̸̅̅ ̆̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ I like this one about as much as I like the first one. The first one had a better plot and was more tense, but this one moves at a very fast rate and it seems like it is over before it begins. A vast improvement over part two, this movie once again finds McClane in the middle of an emergency situation. This time, unlike part two, though it is very reasonable that he is involved as Irons character is the brother of the lead villain of the first Die Hard. Throw in a very funny Samuel L Jackson character and you have the makings of a great film action wise and comedy wise too. This one centers around a mad bomber, threatening to blow up several places including a school if officer McClane does not play the game. McClane must do whatever the bomber says and boy does the bomber do a lot to get our hero down. Great action is a given as our hero desperately must try to find the bombs. Multiple car scenes a cool scene on a boat, and loads and loads of gold thrown in for an exciting ride. Irons is great as the villain, as was Rickman in the first one. Truly this is one fast moving ride that will keep you well entertained throughout.
- Peter CappNovember 13, 2024Great movie
