Why do critics hate this so much?

Movies are made to make money, & critics review to...make money. But the difference is the audience goes to enjoy themselves & that means they're there to show up, be present & feel the enjoyment, whereas critics are mental & in their heads trying to be smart, clever & be know-it-alls to be..., what, respected? Trouble is to be truly intelligent (& not just clever) you have to be free of greed/lust, fear, anger, & sadness like from the Oklahoma bombing & overwhelming personal & social meltdown. The price of being a critic is losing yourself, your soul, your connection to what life is. And this movie is for those who care & are passionate but not just for themselves. Any fool could push the button to nuke the world but only heroes can save it.

In my opinion, Die Hard 3 is a U.T.D.T.A.T. (Underrated Tight-Donkey Taut-Action-Thriller): 8 stars.

It was originally intended to end with Simon escaping and McClane reconciling with his wife, but the studio changed it. It's a shame, because this is one of the best action movies of the 90's
