Despite a final, tacked-on helicopter denouement, it remains a gripping, relentless, supercharged slab of fun that knows no bounds - New York is its playground and the sky's the limit.

It's a tense, terrifically funny action dazzler with a wow level in special effects that will be hard to top.

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Die Hard with a Vengeance" (1995) is a superb entry into Die Hard franchise. This is one of the rare case when third movie into established franchise was superb. I prefer "With a Vengeance" more lets say Die Hard 2, but i found second film very good action film. This one has superb pair of heroes - John McClane & Zeus and they are superb together - they are one of the reasons this movie does work on highest level. Script is clever, funny and involving. Acting by all 3 leads and supporting cast is very good. Directing by John McTiernan was excellent - at running time 2 h this movie never drags. What is also like very much about third film is that it looks and feels kind of epic - because it was shoot mostly on location in New York - kind of opposite for the first movie setting.Overall, while not being perfect film, I'm still voted "Die Hard with a Vengeance" a 10/10. For me this is near perfect action film with clever plot, funny and very good screenplay, good directing and good acting. Great entry into great action franchise.

The third Die Hard film is easily the most spectacular, featuring an exploding subway train and a manic car chase through the congested streets of New York that rivals "The French Connection."

So little wit is expended on the dialogue and so much on the imagination of disaster that you may as well sit back and enjoy the jolting ride.

In Die Hard With a Vengeance, McTiernan stages individual sequences with great finesse (there's a terrific bit with Willis and five thugs in an elevator), yet they don't add up to a taut, dread-ridden whole.

En route, the plot gimmick degenerates from clever to dumb, then gets forgotten entirely, and the last act simply poops out - the climax is a Bigger Bang that plays like the saddest of whimpers.

McTiernan is an old hand at actioners and, like the pro he is, keeps the film rushing along from fiery stunt to stunt.

Die Hard With A Vengeance follows up the previous two Die Hard Films and serves as a genuine sequel to the original, which the previous film could not deliver.
With the paring of Samuel Jackson, Bruce Willis is allowed to expand his characterization due to strong dialogue that he shares with Jackson. Not to mention casting Jeremy Irons as a complimentary villain for the protagonists.

.......................................................................................A Masterpiece...........................Underrated for the knows-all CRITICS like Scarface (1983), But the public shows the truth..........

Die Hard: With a Vengeance thickens the plot with new action but the storyline is very basic and you do think there is a competition between the two brothers that try to outmatch each other from the first to this one.

Another solid Die Hard film with good action and pretty good villain. Ending is a bit lame.
