The second sequel to the film that made Bruce Willis a movie star, Die Hard With a Vengeance takes off from a premise fraught with tension and comedy.
EW
3.8
Basically a wind up action toy, cleverly made, and delivered with high energy. It delivers just what it advertises, with a vengeance.
Rogerebert
1.5
Degenerates into an improbable, confusing series of chases and an overly involved heist that takes far too long to set up.
Variety
1.5
Theres little wit or originality on offer, just the familiar escalation of car chases and big bangs.
Time Out

The story this time, which is well nigh indecipherable, isnt contained like the plots of the first two Die Hard installments.

The movie turns two hours of bombings, subway crashes, car chases and helicopter pursuits into the ultimate roller coaster ride.

In order to have a successful action film, you need suspense.In order to have suspense you need sharply defined characters and a believable threat.

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

McTiernan saves the day by turning the film into a pure Mcguffin.

Braveheart is a huge historical epic directed by Gibson with a well balanced blend of romantic and documentary styles.

This makes it a buddy buddy film between opposites, and doesnt play as well as it does as a lone wolf vehicle.
Dennis Schwartz Reviews
4.0
Willis and Jackson, as adept and entertaining as they often are, spend most of the movie huffing and puffing.They barely keep pace with the effects.
La Times
1.0
While it isnt as insultingly dopey as the first two films in this series, this Die Hard is every bit as violent, obscene and implausible.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance follows traditional Hollywood sequel rules, but does so with enough impudence so as to not feel superfluous.
