Some form of fun to catch up on the old ones while preparing for the new one. And what fun it is. What better villain has there been in an action movie than Alan Rickman’s Herr Gruber? How emblematic can the condition of a human body get – Bruce Willis in his undershirt lying on the side, firing too many shots at too many terrorists, bleeding all over the place, still wearing the sardonic grin. Of course the second and third one cannot keep the level, especially number two almost paralyses itself by being so full of its own seriousness. The third one is at least over the top enough to remember the comedy and almost survives as a good buddy movie. A very enjoyable session, altogether, and three seriously whole-hearted "yippieh-yai-yeh, Motherfucker!"
