Critics Consensus: Die Hard with a Vengeance benefits from Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson's barbed interplay, but clatters to a bombastic finish in a vain effort to cover for an overall lack of fresh ideas.

Degenerates into an improbable, confusing series of chases and an overly involved heist that takes far too long to set up.
There's little wit or originality on offer, just the familiar escalation of car chases and big bangs.
Pure action, with bigger and better explosions and stunts.
It's a tense, terrifically funny action dazzler with a wow level in special effects that will be hard to top.
The big set pieces don't build, really, they just pile up.
A triumph.
Mr. Willis looks like a barbecued chicken during the whole movie -- sinews covered with blood and grime -- but he does the job in top form.
... Highlighted by Irons, whose slick and sinister Simon is second only to Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber in the pantheon of "Die Hard" villains.
If you ignore the last half, it's quite a good entry.
Less hand-to-hand combat, but still a very violent sequel.
...ultimately closer in spirit to the original than the first sequel.
Should make us all feel a little queasy after the Oklahoma City bombing.
My 2nd favourite of the Die Hard films. 3 strong lead characters make the film. More action than you can ask for packed in!
Super Reviewer
An entertaining movie full of action and humor, no doubt better than the atrocious second installment even if not in the same level of the original film. And despite a flawed last half, it has Samuel L. Jackson stealing the scene and Jeremy Irons as a great villain.
Starts off well enough with a thrilling first-half and benefits greatly from the hilarious chemistry between Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't keep it's momentum going, suffering from a second-half littered with dull un-inventive action sequences and lots of plot holes. Simon was definitely a better central villain than what we were given in "Die Hard 2" and Jeremy Irons delivers a good performance, but what was lacking was the tense hero-villain dynamic of the first movie. An overall okay-isn action movie that delivers on some decent action and humor, but I can't help but feel this could have been so much better.
"Die Hard with a Vengeance" was the first "Die Hard" I saw in the theater and it's my favorite of the sequels. John McClane is back and this time he's not in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's the right man, being targeted by a terorrist bomber named Simon(Jeremy Irons) who wants to play a game of simon says. If McClane doesn't do as he says, then he will blow up anything from a subway to a school in New York. McClane gets help from Zeus(Samuel L. Jackson) a guy who saves his life in Harlem, and they try to stop Simon and find out why he is doing all this. John McTeirnan was the director of the first movie and this is the only sequel he came back for, probably why it's the best. The action is phenomenal, the story is exciting, and Irons' Simon is the best of all the villains in the series, besides Hans Gruber. There are some scenes that are very over the top, but this is probably the most grounded of the entire series. Great movie, and if your looking for a roller coaster ride of a movie, then pop this bad boy back in.
