5/5 A classic action franchise.
  by John Q Public (Long Island, NY)
The Die Hard films have been reviewed so much that all the critical points have been covered, so I'll leave the critical review of the movies to others. This collection is more geared towards those who have already seen the films and would like to have the blu-rays in their collection. To that end, the blu-ray set is an excellent value if you can find it for around $40 or less. I was thrilled to see that Amazon offers it for a reasonable price, and I picked mine up for $45 including shipping (though I've seen it in the past for as low as $35). Obviously the transfer quality improves with the each subsequent movie, and the last one (Live Free or Die Hard) looks excellent in 1080p. Great trip down memory lane for those who enjoy the franchise.

5/5 If you have a blu ray player, you should own this

The die hard movies have been reviewed to death. Obviously most considered the first one of the best action moves ever made, if not the best. It's the sequels that cause debate and get the additional reviews. The second flick is usually considered the least favorite, and with good reason. The plots more silly than usual, the action is not the best, with long periods where nothing interesting occurs. Oh yeah, and Bruce willis is only allowed to by funny about two and half times in the entire movie. Thought its not the worst movie, its hardly up to die hard standards.

As to the third, while it is far more entertaining, with great action and dialogue, the one thing missing is the claustrophobic nature of the first. While the second flick wasn't great, at least it felt like a sequel. This one feels like its own movie, with John McClane thrown in. Though this may not be a bad thing, depending on what you're hoping from a sequel. Overall a pretty fun movie, that I've watched quite a few times over the years.

Then there's the hotly debated fourth movie. Was it necessary? Probably not, but frankly I think it's the better of the sequels. The action is top notch, John is wise cracking, but the thing I like most about it is that they didn't provide a huge cheat in the use of technology. John doesn't do technology. He admits it, and can't get it right even when he needs to. His character is older, and the world is starting to out grow him, though not his usefullness. I was particularly fond of seeing the older john mcclane still beating bad guys and saving the day, but acknowledging he couldn't do everything.

As to the blu ray, it is certainly a great deal. All four films and a ridiculous amount of special features. While I admit the transfer of the first two flicks is nothing special, I did compare to my dvds unconverted, and noticed a difference, thought not that great. The fourth however is my demo movie as it looks AMAZING. There are also a ton of special features, though I note alot of those that were on the dvds for the first movie are missing, outtakes and such.

While I'm sure there will eventually be a re-release (there were three or four releases on dvd), I'm thrilled with what I have. Tons of features, pretty picture, and some really great flicks. If you have a blu ray player give it a shot.

5/5 DIE HARDER

Being a huge Die Hard fan, I have to say that the new blu-ray disc set is a perfect buy. Good price and great quality. The first three are re-mastered to 1080 picture and even the sound quality has been enhanced. This is a must buy for action movie buffs and a must to have in any real man's collection. "Yippee ki yay mother$@^#&*!"
