Yeah. That’s right, I went there. Convince me I’m wrong.

No. You will only know when you are lying on the bathroom floor after taking a spill in the shower. As you struggle to find that last breath, only then will you realize Die Hard is easily better and Karma is the reason you are dying 25+ years before you were supposed to.

Speed was so good they didn’t needlessly kill it with 4 sequels. It was so successful that a sequel was mandated but they realized it was lighting in a bottle and gave up trying to duplicate it.

And that sequel happens to be one of the worst movies of all-time. I would argue of the four Die Hard sequels, only the last one is truly bad. Die Hard With a Vengeance is a good movie in its own right, Live Free or Die Hard ain't too shabby, and Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a passable sequel.

First off I meant to only compare 1 v 1, but since we’ve sort of walked through this door, u can’t convince me that Speed 2 is worse than Die Hard 4.
Willem Dafoe vs Justin Long & Kevin Smith in a action movie?
ETA at least the effects in Speed 2 are still pretty much practical effects that don’t ruin the movie like Bruce Willis fighting jet planes on the highway.

Eh, maybe.
But Die hard has the better overall cast easily.
Ellis and Thornburg. Argyle. Theo. Karl. Johnson and Johnson, no relation.

Die Hard has three sequences better than that sequence.

Speed wouldn’t even exist without Die Hard.

Listen I’m fine with disagreeing with the overall point but telling me the “I shot a kid with a toy gun and haven’t used my weapon since” is a lesser character than the partner played Jeff Bridges is a bridge to far for me.
FYI if the Bridges pun isn’t enough to get y’all to enjoy this thread I’ve got nothing else.

Speed was one of my favorite movies growing up. I rewatched it for the first time in years during the quarantine. Not bad, but my God I forgot how awful Keanu Reeves’ acting was in that movie.
Die Hard is a better movie. It’s not even close in my mind.

This is like 70% of the movie.
I think they actually filmed the movie with the camera Dennis Hopper installed.

Come ONNNN..., we all gonna pretend Carl from Family Matters shooting Karl the terrorist to end the movie was a better plot point than losing a partner played by a star actor in the 2nd act?

Look at me! I'm making silly threads on the internets!!! I'm whacky!

It’s got better nostalgia, and better one-liners.
As bad as Keanu might be let’s not pretend the guy who starred in Moonlighting is a academy award winner.
At the very least is anyone gonna tell me the ending scene with Mclaine limping in to confront Hans is not horribly overacted by Willis and only redeemed by Alan Rickman?
