It makes sense though, because Simon's idea was to distract the whole police department, whilst trying to kill Willis and swipe billions of dollars worth of gold. If Willis was at the school, then he wouldn't have died, and Jackson had to be with Willis beause it was the way Simon wanted to play the game.

No what I'm saying is the way the film is structured they had to have intervals while Willis and Jackson moved around the city - to follow them around step for step would've been a disaster. What it comes down to is what was in the intervals or how they were handled...I just didn't find them that entertaining and it kinda feels like dead air to me

When I watched Die Hard it was hardly groundbreaking, so I guess I didn't appreiacte it as much as you did.

LOL I didn't watch it until about the mid-90s at the earliest and by then I'd seen plenty similar. What I mean is at the time it was released there hadn't really been anything like it before, so it deserves credit there.
I like the fact 3 isn't in an enclosed space because as you say, it adds variety (mind you, I dunno if you can compare an entire airport to one building...meh). Having said that if the early - and I'm talking years ago - rumours of Die Hard 4 are to be believed it'll be set in a jungle. Probably the least enclosed space you can get to set an action film in, but it sure as hell doesn't strike me as a good idea.
