Amazon.com essential video: The second sequel to the mold-making action film Die Hard brings Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) to New York City to face a better villain than in Die Hard 2. Played by Jeremy Irons, he's the brother of the Germanic terrorist-thief Alan Rickman played in the original film. But this bad guy has his sights set higher: on the Federal Reserve's cache of gold. As a distraction, he sets McClane running fool's errands all over New York--and eventually, McClane attracts an unintentional partner, a Harlem dry cleaner (Samuel L. Jackson) with a chip on his shoulder. Some great action sequences, though they can't obscure the rather large plot holes in the film's final 45 minutes. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - My 3rd favorite of the series but still a good movie
I enjoy the series, have to have all 4 and in blu-ray even better. The video and audio quality is good, better than Die Hard 1 and 2 because it is newer. Good use of surrounds with directionality. The blu-ray is worth the upgrade from standard dvd.
Rating: - 4.5 stars
The director from the first Die Hard is back, as is the concept of the bad guys being super-thieves. Both of which, I think, make this one better than Die Hard 2. The presence of Samuel L. Jackson doesn't hurt, either.
Cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back in New York, but he's suspended from the NYPD and going downhill along with his marriage, when he's called back because some crazy bomber calling himself Simon (Jeremy Irons) has set bombs all over the city and is threatening to blow them all up unless McClane does exactly what Simon Says.
The first thing he's required to do is wear a racist signboard in downtown Harlem. A store owner named Zeus (Samuel L. Jackson) comes to his aid and ends up getting roped into the game as well.
The games were... mostly... fun, but I had a little trouble believing them--it was an awful lot of effort for the small reward of making McClane ... Read More
Rating: - The Best of the bunch
Best Story line of all the Die Hards.Bruce Willis give his best acting
job of his career. Samuel Jackson brings an attitude to his role that
made me want to see him in other movies!
Rating: - Good fun chase movie, some great action
This is a good sequel, worth seeing and still manages to pack a few surprises. Great setpieces and one liners, plus some stunts that are well worth seeing. Good entertainment.
