I liked the first Die Hard movie. I seem to recall that it came out right at the transition between movies where the gunplay and violence level was still somewhat restrained and movies where they'd show indiscriminate shooting and hundreds of deaths on screen (which I believe Die Hard 2 set a record for with like 200+ onscreen deaths). It's striking to compare movies from that time, not too long ago, to now, and to see how far the development in that area has progressed (compare with, say, the machine-gun scenes in Matrix 3). But anyway, I liked the first Die Hard. I think the scene I remember most vividly was Bruce Willis running across the broken glass in his bare feet--ouch!

The Die Hard sequels had their moments. Not that many of them, true, but a few. Die Hard's one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies, though, after 5th Element.

I haven't seen Matrix 3, but know that it is not well thought of...Did you like it, Bear?
