Die Hard: The Complete Collection (Die Hard / Die Hard 2 / Die Hard with a Vengeance / Live Free or Die Hard / A Good Day to Die Hard)

My rating says it all. We Die Hard fans love the series and Willis. Like many people, I have waited for a complete set with both versions (theatrical and unrated) of "Live Free or Die Hard" and the latest "A Good Day to Die Hard" film. The extended cut on this one is a bonus. Also like many people, I found the various sets' reviews all clumped under each set and never knowing exactly what each set contained or did not contain, confusing. I hope this gives our loyal Die Hard fans a good idea of exactly what you get in this latest set of the Die Hard series and I hope it does not get clumped together with all the reviews in all the other sets.All movies in this set have 1 High Def Blu-Ray disc and 1 Standard Def DVD *however* there is still no Blu-Ray re-master of the Unrated "Live Free or Die Hard" DH4. The Unrated version is only on the Standard Def DVD included here with the Blu-Ray disc. [The picture here does not show it but the actual disc cover I received says on the bottom "DVD includes both the theatrical and unrated version of the film."]I think this is as good as it will get. When I saw all films on Blu-Ray in one "Daily Deals" set, I jumped for it. This is a lot of films for only $34.Picture and SoundAll Blu-Ray discs are what you expect from Blu-Ray in both crystal-clear picture and HD Master Audio 7.1 as well as both Spanish and French Surround Dolby. All Blu-Rays have D-BOX Motion Codes for those of you who have the moving chair in your home [DH5 does not specifically say that on the back cover but it was released to D-BOX theaters so I am thinking it is there but I have no way to tell. If someone has a D-BOX setup at home, please comment and I will edit this. I will also be right over!]. The DVDs have THX, English Dolby, DTS 5.1 and English and French Surround Digital.DH1 "Die Hard" Blu-Ray XTRASDirector and Production Designer commentaryScene-specific Special Effects Supervisor commentaryVarious cast and crew subtitle commentary"News Casts" featuretteInteractive Stills GalleryInteractive Articles from Cinefex and American CinematographerTrailers and TV spotsAdditional DVD XTRAS (not on the Blu-Ray disc)"Branching version with the Extended Power Shutdown Scene Cut back in"DH2 "Die Harder" Blu-Ray XTRASDirector commentaryDeleted Scenes"Making of" FeaturetteOriginal Publicity Featurette"The Bad Guys" FeaturetteBehind the scenesDirector interviewSide-by-side visual effects breakdowns and comparisons (the actual scene on the right and the people filming the actual scene on the left)StoryboardsTrailers and TV spotsSome of the TV interview scenes in DH2 are a bit "fuzzy" but not at all distracting.

I'm writing about "Die Hard: The Complete Collection (Die Hard / Die Hard 2 / Die Hard with a Vengeance / Live Free or Die Hard / A Good Day to Die Hard) [Blu-ray] " I know this review may show up on some other similar Die Hard releases though.These are just all 5 movies, in their individual Blu-ray boxes, shrink wrapped together. There aren't any bonus discs or a box to hold them all together.I think like most of these franchises, the first was the best and the follow-ons just get a little worse each time. I like the movies, but there is a definite progression downwards in story and quality in my opinion.I'm not going to review each movie here, many others have done that over the years so if you want the plot and synopsis check out other reviews or IMDB. I just wanted to clarfiy what you got for your money here.

The disks are not held very securely in the carriers. I received a box from Amazon containing the Die Hard collection and the Planet of the Apes collection. Some of the die hard disks were rattling inside the boxes. Thanks to Amazon's GREAT return policy I was able to send them back for a replacement. The second set came without a problem. So, kudos to Amazon for their return policy.The quality of the recordings is great, they look wonderful. But, and I don't understand this at all, every time you pause it long enough for the Blu-Ray player to shut down, or just turn it off, you can't start the movies at the point that you shut down. You have to endure all the lead-in garbage, then search for the scene you were on. The person at the store where I purchased the player said that some Blu-Rays do not have the info on them to restart at the point of stopping, so apparently they left that little bit of info off these. I have used some Blu-Ray recording that do re-start where you left off, so I know that it works. Quite often we take breaks mid-movie, either to do something or go to bed so this is an important option for me.

I'm not a big die hard fan but my girlfriend is. The first ones not bad, the second one is really really bad, and the third one is the best one. Just like the mighty ducks. The other two I haven't watched yet. The video quality really depends on the player your using and the screen as well so I will just say it looks great where I am once I got proper software installed in my computer. This isn't a collection as well, its what you see here, 5 separate cases with no collection box that have been put together into a Bundle.

This is the Blu-ray Die Hard Collection. I mean, what more can I say. For starters, the HD in the original movies was better than expected. The old movies clean up nicely. Also, the progression of the series is interesting. In the first one, the action takes place all in the same building, in the second one, he gets to venture off in the neighborhood, but not far. By the third one, he's all over New York City, and in the fourth one, he gets to travel across the United States. Since, in the fifth one he trots across the globe, one can only assume that in the sixth Die Hard, John McClane will travel into space and save the galaxy. I can't wait!

This was a Deal of the Day or else I may not have bought these. The price was great, I believe they were $39.99. I was not a fan of the last Die Hard and the one before was OK also. Of course, the first one was great, the second one dipped off a bit but was still good and the third one entertaining too. The picture quality is noticeably better and they have some cool special features which are in HD.

I had the previous collection without the latest movie. It was jacketed as a set- this is not. Now i want to rate 3 stars for this but there is no evidence that it should come with a jacket, but since that assumption is on me, ill just dock it one star. These are full size blu-ray jackets so they take up more space but as typical with these size of cases- they hold the disk better. A no frills set otherwise, good value.

Grand fan des films d'action des années 1990, c'est bien sûr John McClane qui demeure absolument incontournable. Die Hard est devenu avec les années une saga d'action mythique. Voir un coffret regroupant les 5 volets en haute définition était nécessaire. Le coffret est classique, il a toutefois le mérite de regrouper dans un emballage carton les cinq films dans des minis jaquettes à la présentation inspirée. On gagne donc de la place et du plaisir à contempler le coffret.Parlons maintenant des films:- Die Hard: Piège de Cristal. Le meilleur film de la saga, c'est le must des films du genre. Jamais un film n'aura su l'égaler. Bruce Willis est au top de sa forme. Ce film crée l'un des plus grands personnages du cinéma d'action: John McClane. Alan Rickman en méchant est excellent, à la tête d'une armée de terroriste, tous coincés dans une tour de L.A. avec le policier le plus dingue que l'on a vu. Ce film justifie à lui seul l'achat du coffret. 10/10.- Die Hard: 58 Minutes pour Vivre. On reprend la recette du premier et on l'applique dans un aéroport. Le film est excellent et constitue une très bonne suite à la fois fidèle et inspirée. 8/10.- Die Hard: Une Journée en Enfer. Pour apporter du neuf, on a maintenant le renfort de deux stars: Samuel L. Jackson et Jeremy Irons. L'histoire est bien ficelée, Die Hard 3 complète la trilogie de la plus belle manière. C'est également une référence du genre. Bref, on prend encore du plaisir à voir McClane en difficulté malmené et transcendé. 8/10.- Die Hard: Retour en Enfer. Le film de trop ? Die Hard 4 est assez plaisant à voir. Néanmoins, le film est décevant parce que la saga Die Hard rentre dans le rang et devient quelconque. On sent que c'est un film destiné à faire du pognon et on a le droit à de la surenchère à tous les niveaux. Malheureusement, le film s'écarte d'un scénario cohérent comme les trois premiers et essaie de confronter le John McClane des années 90 avec les nouvelles technologies. Il suffit de voir le grand méchant du film et vous avez compris. Sans être un échec, c'est pas incroyable. 7/10.- Die Hard: Belle Journée pour Mourir. Belle journée pour arrêter la saga. Le film de trop !!!! Quel gâchi et quel carnage ! Ce film n'a de Die Hard que le nom et c'est un coup bas pour tous les fans des trois premiers films. On a le droit à un film d'action moderne, ça n'arrête pas du début à la fin, bouhh les méchants russes. Le comique qui était charmant dans les autres opus devient lourd, pas drôle, on sort les violons. John McClane devient un surhomme, "même pas mal", à l’épreuve des balles et invisibles à la visée. Ça devient ridicule parce que c'est mal fait. Le méchant est l'un des plus mauvais du cinéma. Une technologie pour supprimer la radioactivité de Tchernobyl ? Vraiment ?! Malgré tout, en tant que fan, on arrive à sauver quelques éléments et la course poursuite au début du film est bonne. 5/10.Comme toutes les sagas (ou presque), le dernier volet est médiocre, destiné à faire de l'argent sur le dos des fans.En somme, on a un très beau coffret qui satisfera les fans de films d'actions, et les fans de Bruce Willis.

Pourquoi 4/5 et pas 5 étoiles ? Le cinquième film est littéralement une honte. Si vous acheter cette édition, faites comme moi et servez cous du cinquième blu Ray comme d'un frisbee.Sinon, Die Hard reste une franchise mythique si on excepte le film dont on ne doit pas prononcer le nom.Die Hard 1 et 3 font parti de mes films préfères.Le 2 est un peu moins bien mais reste un très bon film.Quant au 4, au contraire de beaucoup, je l'ai bien aimé même si John McClane devient un peu trop Rambo à mon goût sur la fin

dans ma precedente commande,( le developpement de l intelligence, kindle), je me suis trompée. j'ai commandée un livre a telecharger et seulement aprés je me suis aperçue. Quand j'ai voulus annulé la commande il n y avait pas moyen.il n y avait meme pas une adresse email pour les reclamations. je n ai jamais telecharger ce livre et pourtant l argent a ete debiter de mon compte. j espere que vous allez faire un geste commerciale. bien a vous.

Une belle série de film d'action pour les fans de Bruce Willis qui aiment se repasser ses films. Le cinquième et dernier film n'est pas à la hauteur des précédant, Bruce Willis aurait pu éviter de jouer dans ce film qui fait tâche dans la série. Lorsque l'on prête attention à certaines scènes, il y a des raccords images qui sont mal fait, le montage du film à été bâclé.

Bonjour,Vite commandé et encore plus vite arrivée.Produit neuf sous blister vierge !En tant que collectionneur, je sais que mon avis n'a beaucoup d'importance mais,Ces avis donnés en cette vielle de Noël sont sincères.En remplacement d'une partie de mes VHS.Je ne peux que recommander toute cette série de DVD !Ces classiques sont des monuments à leurs façons,Sans limite, je recommandes ces films: matin, midi et m^m le soir !CordialementDaniel BINTHERL'Auditorium 319
