So Utterly Disappointing…

I kinda like to think some of it yes, if he is a rugged tough cop, and at times looks like a carpenter. The first one was more suspense plot orientated so it was more plausible but after awhile it's just McLaine surviving the impossible on a on going basis.

I think this one suffers a lot from its generic location. New York City is featured in so many thrillers and action movies to the point were it's lost a lot of its luster. The first two Die Hard films benefitted tremendously from their novel locations of being set in an office building and an airport.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything. -

Also, I hated the whole race angle. It felt like it was shoehorned into the movie in an ill-advised attempt to give it some "edge."
Yeah, you know it's the 90s when that stuff starts getting shoved down your throats. -

Die HARD 2
?? Makes NO SENSE to me! My guess is that they are
NOT
TRUE ACTION flick fans. IF you are a TRUE action film buff, then one and two are SUPERIOR to three.

Here, you're right. Im not a fan of Die Hard action. I am of Action like 90's Chuck, Stallone, Segal, etc… but not of Bruce in these films so that makes sense why I like this one over the other ones.

Agreed 100%.
The skyscraper & airport are some of the more original settings for an action film.
That's why I dig Under Siege, got a great setting like Die Hard.
