Sorry for the caps but I just watched Die Hard...again. Just kidding, I've seen it plenty of times and even played that awfully crappy PC FPS called Nakatomi Plaza, which had all the classic Die Hard lines only done by shitty voice actors, and Ellis was blond for some reason. I could do a better Bruce Willis impression in my sleep.
Fuck that game, this is about the movie. First lets look at why this movie is among, if not the greatest action movie of all time.
1. Bruce Willis. Not only can he kick ass but he can be funny at the same time.
2. Bruce Willis...again, oh and did I mention he had hair in this movie?
3. Alan Rickman. Fuck Snape...Fuck The Sheriff of Nottingham(badass role though) this is Rickman at him most badass and evil.
4. Reginald Vel Johnson...you know the deal...his character dropped Karl and got transferred to the Chicago PD under a different name, witness protection(He'll be thankful since Simon Gruber wants his ass along with McClane) But his new neighbor may be more of a pain in the ass than Hans Gruber ever was.
5. Paul Gleason...nuff said, still playing the douchebag. RIP
6. The action was awesome but it was never really over the top or really unbelievable. Basically it is not a Michael Bay movie, unless you count Pearl Harbor...realistic but 100% shit and in my opinion a disrespect to everyone involved in World War 2.
6. Suspense and action work well together.
7. Its a Christmas movie. A Christmas Story and Die Hard are my two favorite Christmas movies.
8.
"Yippie-Kai-Yay Mother Fucker!"
