Die Hard 2
Off-duty cop John McClane is gripped with a feeling of déjà vu when, on a snowy Christmas Eve in the nation’s capital, terrorists seize a major international airport, holding thousands of holiday travelers hostage. Renegade military commandos led by a murderous rogue officer plot to rescue a drug lord from justice and are prepared for every contingency except one: McClane’s smart-mouthed heroics.

The Worst Film Ever
Perfect cast and a good story
hyped garbage
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This is a good movie. I hate given it a 6, but it's nowhere near a 7. Alot of things repeated from the 1st classic movie. Yes there were some new bad ass scenes though. For that it's a 6. A 6 isn't a bad thing. It's a good movie not just a bad ass movie.
While it doesn't quite live up to the action masterpiece that is the first "Die Hard," this was still an excellent sequel. It has plenty of action and one-liners to come around.Bruce Willis once again nails the role of John McClain. Like the last time, he is both human and tough as nails. It just makes you appreciate him that much more when you think about how he degenerated into a Superman figure in the 4th and 5th films in the series.Renny Harlin does a good job directing this movie, properly building suspense. The story may be another terrorist plot, but they managed to really make it work. There was a plot twist that was extremely well done which I won't spoil. The airport was a nice setting for the conflict to take place in, and I also liked the snowy atmosphere.The action scenes are an absolute blast. The action taking place at the airport was great, and the last 30 minutes of the film kept me on the edge of my seat.The reasons it isn't quite as good as the first one is because it isn't quite as briskly paced and the villains, while still good, aren't nearly as memorable as Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber.However, I was still very pleased with this sequel overall. I consider this movie to be very underrated and a great action movie in its own right. Check this one out.RATING: A-
Die Hard 2 Die Harder follows the same tropes as most action movie sequel. It goes bigger and automatically thinks it's better. The plot of the second film is almost identical to the first, but this time it is at an airport. It was directed by Renny Harlin who also directed Cliffhanger a little later. He is known for making dumb popcorn action flicks. And this one is no exception. There are a lot of fun sequences, but over all I felt very bored watching this film. Unlike the 1st, 3rd and even 4th.
Sequels have had a wide range in quality some are better than the first(Terminator 2, Empire Strikes Back, Godfather 2) some are not as good. Die Hard 2 is the latter. Its story recycles a lot from its predecessor, however it does still change things to make it different, like setting the film in an airport. The Film still is fun to watch with more action than the first and some genuinely surprising twists. The Humour is still there and the Villain is very formidable. But the pacing isn't as good. The First Die Hard got things started fast, while Die Hard 2 is a bit slower. Once again the police characters are extremely annoying. Overall Die Hard 2 is fun but not the action masterpiece that the first film is. If your looking for an entertaining action movie then i say check it out. If you enjoyed the first Die Hard then you'll probably enjoy this one too. Just Don't expect it to be as good.
