Die Hard Video rating: 3.5
Not a bad transfer by a long shot. Die Hard has had a somewhat sketchy history on home video, but it looks pretty good here. The image is undamaged, good color, and natural grain. Fleshtones are accurate, Shadow detail is also good: important for a film that takes place at night. Keep in mind that this was filmed 20 years ago, so don’t expect a shiny, slick presentation.

Die Hard 2: Die Harder Video rating: 2
Almost as disappointing as the movie itself, the transfer is muddy, with much of it looking like it had been shot through a filter. Fleshtones take on an unnatural orange tint, and the image also lacks depth. Positives are the lack of edge enhancement or other artifacts that plagued the DVD versions. Grain is also not a problem. In the end, this transfer just doesn’t appear to be high definition. I’ve seen better upconverted DVDs of films from the same era.

Die Hard With A Vengeance Video rating: 3.5
Probably the biggest upgrade as far as video quality goes. This film always looked pretty bad on DVD, with terrible edge enhancement and poor color. The Blu-ray sets things right. The disc is much sharper, with natural detail and without the exaggerated sharpness caused by edge enhancement. Color and fleshtones look a lot better. Though the film is still grainy (it was filmed that way), it is not obtrusive. HD depth and detail are there as well. Finally this movie gets the transfer it deserves.

They have a very film-like presentation. So they are great transfers.

WTF!!!!!!!!!! whoever rated those pictures needs to be shot. They all looked great, 1 was lacking in comparison to the others but it was filmed rather soft to begin with. 3 was such a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE increase from the DVD it wasn't even funny. If you like the movies and want to upgrade teh DVD's don't even hesitate, they are massive leaps from their DVD counterparts (and lets not even talk about the sound).

I thought they looked good. Especially compared to the DVDs. Die Hard 3 absolutely destroys the DVD transfer(yes, even the anamorphic SE).

I watched the Australian version on blu ray of 3 and it looked fantastic to me. I would have given it 4.5/5.

I haven't watched any of the others.

I own them, they look fine to me. PQ most certainly does not suck.

To me, the Blu-ray of DieHard one seemed a bit below normal Blu-ray standards. But it was clearly better than the DVD.

Two and three seemed sharper than one.

Overall, I was happy with the upgrade.

I remember thinking to myself while watching Die Hard blu, "Man this looks good for an older movie" IT definity does NOT suck.

PQ is solid for all 3 films. die hard kinda suffers a reverse effect of higher definition. during a few fight scenes you can CLEARLY see that's not bruce willis and "that european dude" fighting, it's actually really funny. haha

a solid purchase, the series can be watched over and over! i borrowed my bros copy, i'll be adding it to my collection one day

After reading that review, I'm more concerned about the audio quality.

[VHS4Ever]

Damn and I was hoping for the PQ to be better since I love part 1 and 2.
